I love sandwiches. I know, I know – what's not to love. But I mean, I really love sandwiches.
So yesterday I made a ham sandwich, just a little bit of mayo, and here's the kicker:
I topped it with thick sliced tomatoes so fresh out of the garden that when I bit into the sandwich I could still feel the warmth on my tongue.
Now that's summer…

Slice a beefsteak tomato ½" thick, skip the ham, toast the bread (multi-grain or whole wheat), use Miracle Whip Lite instead of mayo (a bit of zing) and add a dash of lemon pepper. That's summer. It just doesn't get any better.

Ham and mayo? yuck. My mom used to always put mayo on my bologna sandwiches and I could not stand it. Mayo IMO is only good with turkey. But hey, at least we're not talking about Glenn Beck.

Finally, after two cool, wet summers we have great tomatos.
I eat them with everything – my stomach rebels.

I agree that ham and mayo (or Miracle Whip) don't go together. Tomatoes and mayo/Miracle Whip is a match made in heaven. That's why I skip the ham. And yes Mike, like you my stomach doesn't always appreciate what my mouth does. Oh to be 16 with a cast iron stomach again.

Musturd on all sandwiches with a dash of italian dressing and pickle. Add meat of choice and enjoy. Lunch in 45 minutes. I hope I can make it now…

I can argue about Glenn Beck all day without getting riled. But if you try to pry my mayo-and-ham sandwich out of my hand…that'll get ugly.

I've eaten a tomato sandwich for lunch almost every day for the last six weeks or so. Ham would detract seriously. Just tomatoe, mayo, and light bread. Occasionally a bit of sweet onion. I'm reminded of the Barry Fitzgerald character in some John Ford movie. "When I drink whisky, I drink whisky. When I drink water, I drink water.
