:::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY ::::::::::::::::::::::::
Reader Mary Jane Heisterkamp of Morrow, Georgia writes:
This actually happened to me one day while I was shopping in a grocery
store near my home.
I had seen the same lady on several aisles, searching for something
and seeming to be having no luck. I finally said to her, "I shop here
often, I'll be glad to help you find what you are looking for." She
said, "I am trying a new recipe that calls for Dry White Wine and I
can't find it anywhere."
I told her that I knew right where to find it and led her to the wine
section of the store. She looked somewhat puzzled and said, "I'd have
never thought to look here. I have looked in the seasoning section,
the spice section and even the dried fruit section and didn't see it
in any of those places." I pointed out a few of the "drier" white
wines and she thanked me for my help. I nearly RAN to the next aisle
so I could laugh without her seeing me.
:::::::::::::::::::::: TODAY'S RECIPE ::::::::::::::::::::::
Mr. Beard does such a wonderful job of describing the making of this
sandwich that I have reprinted it exactly as it appears in his book.
The Perfect Club Sandwich
Reprinted from James Beard's American Cookery (Galahad Books, 1972)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0883659581/worldwiderecipes
The perfect club sandwich starts with a piece of freshly made crisp
buttered toast. On this goes a leaf of lettuce and a bit of
mayonnaise, slices of chicken breast, slices of peeled ripe tomatoes,
a sprinkle of salt, crisp bacon rashers, more mayonnaise, and a second
piece of toast. Some people toss in an additional piece of lettuce,
but it isn't necessary. Green olives and sweet pickles are standard
garnish.
For a large party, serve a hot platter of bacon, a platter of cold
sliced chicken, and a platter of tomatoes. Also have ready a plate of
lettuce and olives and a bowl of mayonnaise. Make toast for guests
and let them build their own sandwiches.
