Day 31: Cucumber, feta, tzatziki
I tried to do a wild grand finale -- thinking maybe a tripe or snoot sandwich would fit the bill -- but lots of the BBQ places with those selections are closed on Sundays. C&K was open, but to be honest I didn't feel like heading north today (I'm a little sluggish after all those sandwiches).
So... cucumber, feta and tzatziki sauce on pita. Light, but filling. Thanks Diane!
I may get one more sandwich in tonight (ice cream sandwich?). If not, I'll see y'all next NSM!
Feel free to add suggestions for next year on any of my sandwich photos here on Flickr.

Posted @ 8:56 PM Central Time
Day 14: Tuna salad (again)
Yeah, another. Tried to get the portobella ciabatta for lunch at BreadCo but apparently those are seasonal. So superstar XPLANE intern Molly picked up my old standby, tuna salad.

Day 11: Crab cake sandwich
Diane put this one together — one I'd never tried before. Sure, I like crab cakes... but I never thought to put a giant one in a toasted bun! Genius.

Day 10: Feta and tomato pita
Pretty much my new favorite as of last month (one day I ate this for breakfast, lunch and dinner). It helps that I can even make it myself with no help from a real grown-up!
It's so simple but big on yum. Fresh tomatoes, Bulgarian feta cheese, olive oil and fresh cracked pepper in side a toasted whole wheat pita.

Day 8: Awesomewich (view #1)
Diane made this one. I can't remember its name (will find out, though) but it was PURE AWESOMENESS.
Volpi dry salami, Mortadella and Geneo salami on ciabatta with fresh basil, hearts of palm, sun-dreid tomatoes, sharp provolone and (I think) a tapenade.
Wow.
Posted @ 9:57 PM Central Time
Day 8: Poor Boy
A Poor Boy from Mom's Deli. I love Mom's Deli, but I think they put a little too much sauce on this one.

Day 5: Terrine sandwich
A rabbit, duck and pistachio terrine, topped with stone ground mustard, a Missouri Chevre and some greens on housemade bread.
We went to The Shaved Duck for dinner (awesome) and I made this sandwich out of the wonderful variety of things we ordered (it's not a menu item). Though the duck fat frites you see on the side are on the menu and highly recommended.
