My current favorite sandwich

It's amazing what you'll eat when your CSA gives you things you don't know what to do with, or you just have too much. They included a recipe for a sandwich consisting of:

- your favorite hearty bread
- sliced sharp cheddar cheese
- chunky peanut butter
- thinly sliced cucumber
- sliced tomato
- thinly sliced sweet onion

I don't really like tomatoes so I left them off the sandwich, and I'm not even a fan of raw onion but the sandwich is actually pretty delicious. I love peanut butter and cheese and the cucumber and onion give it a nice crunch to compliment the hearty multigrain bread I used. I gave it a really heavy slather of peanut butter, I just love me my peanut butter!

parsnip cake. It sounded horrible, so I had to try it. It was great! So I'll get around to this one soon.

Joseph X. Delaney was a sandwich guy and that was one of his. Maybe you already knew that.

But not wanting the cucumbers and onion to go to waste, I decided to give it a try. What a pleasant surprise!

My version is

Bread of choice
Cream cheese with a healthy amount of dill and lemon zest stirred in, add enough lemon juice to make it spreadable
Thin sliced cucumbers
Fresh ground black pepper


YUM!!!
