sandwiches for my father-in-law!

dave loves sandwiches.  he loves making sandwiches; he loves eating sandwiches; & he loves making fun of me for not appreciating his love of sandwiches.  {note:  i am learning to enjoy sandwiches more & more.}

our sandwich lab in class this week was right up his alley.  we made SIX kinds of sandwiches.  that is a lot of sandwiches.  there were all different kinds with all different ingredients & all different preparations.

the one that blew my mind: the deep-fat fried monte cristo.  have you ever heard of this??  i had not.  who would think to deep-fat fry a sandwich??  i was prepared for it to be absolutely disgusting.  & i am very very sad to report...it was actually really good.  haha.  welcome to the south, my friends.
