    We have been doing tomato sandwiches almost every night this time of year. We load up at the farmer's market every Saturday. I mix it up a little, but the standard is with mozzarella cheese and arugula and balsamic. We also do grated carrots almost every night. And sliced cucumbers with the water salted out of them, with some shallots, vinegar and spices. Oh, and we eat a ton of peaches this time of year. I didn't used to eat a lot of fruit, but now I do, and I have come to appreciate a good peach. There is one grower we buy from who sells little pieces of heaven.

    Ask your scientist friend what she thinks about about genetically engineered wheat that led to addictive junk foods ...

    When I order a club I ask them to remove the middle layer of bread. Too many carbs, too tall to eat. A good BLT is a summertime treat; wheat toast is my preference.

    Lettuce in any sandwiches/burgers is just wrong. Lettuce is meant for salads.

    Oh, I don't think it's a secret to anybody that food companies try to make their products addictive. They want you to buy them. Of course, they're going to try to make them addictive. For me, that's like complaining about the price of gas. They're private companies selling a product. They can price it however they want.

    By any Constitutional standard, this whole thread is 'fighting words.'

    I'm not knocking PBJ, but I go just straight PB.
    I gave up the J sometime around 1978-79, and I've never looked back.

    Sometimes I don't even need the bread.

    I don't want to come off as reactionary, but I like my PB and J segregated.
    Separate but equal.
    With PB being a little more equal.
    And better.

    Jesus, you'd pound the crap out of me if you saw how I eat almost every day. The lettuce (very often arugula, but red leaf, green leaf, whatever) *IS* the sandwich. Ms. Ragu just eats the salad, so you'd pat her on the head, but I stuff everything into pita breads along with other stuff, which might include hummus, avocado, cheese, grated carrots with yogurt / red wine vinegar sauce, tomatoes, red onion, etc. That is dinner most summer nights.
