I’ve learned a lot of important lessons on this world race from
spiritual growth and living in community to learning how to shovel
wet rice into my mouth with only my right hand, but one of the best
tastiest lessons I’ve learned is how to make the perfect sandwich.
Before I begin to describe the process you must know something
about a man and his sandwich. The roots run deep. A man doesn’t
think to himself I want a sandwich and then just slap something
together all willy-nilly (yeah, I said it). No, a man enters the
kitchen ready for the hunt. He doesn’t always know what he’s hunting
for, but he knows it’s there. He may have come in with hopes of
glory for a thickly carved turkey behemoth on a hoagie and left with
a thinly sliced pork roast on white, but his kill has been made. A
sandwich doesn’t just quench the hunger of a man, it reaches down
into the depths and fills him up from the inside out. Ok, maybe
that’s a bit much, but they’re awesome.
I discovered last month something close to perfection. Something
so savory and filling, that some may say “I wish I could marry it�
(Elaina Rogers). I call this sculpted work of art the “Egg
Sandwichâ€�. Now I know what you’re thinking, WHAT?! How could
anyone think of putting eggs on a sandwich? I know. It’s almost like
a vision from above, but it doesn’t end there. I then proceed to add
turkey or ham, tomato with salt and pepper, some lettuce, a little
mayo and mustard, and cheese. The true perfection comes from cooking
the eggs just right. I personally have found the fried broken yoke
egg to complete the sandwich, but others lean towards the over hard
egg. This requires some extensive personal research, but I warn you
to know what you’re getting yourself into. It’s a perilous route and
may end in calamity. After all that, butter the outside of the
sandwich and stick it back in the pan. Upon browning you have
created a masterpiece. All I can say is good luck and God’s speed.
Let me know your thoughts on my sandwich perfection, as well as
your sandwich perfection, even though since I have reached
perfection yours can only been second best. No offense, I’m just
saying. Hope you’re hungry after reading this. I just ate one and
I’m already craving another. God bless!
