a "thanksgiving" sandwich.

Tonight, I had class until 7:30pm. And, in case you don't know, 7:30 is way past my supper time so when I'm out of class, I'm definitely ready to eat! Before I could get back to my apartment to have dinner, I had to go fill up my car with gas. I also had to stop by Food Lion and pick up some brown paper bags for the lesson I'm teaching tomorrow (...more on that later)! I went into Food Lion to buy ONE thing and by the time I got to the check-out counter, I had accumulated over $30 worth of stuff. Lord, help me!

Anyway, I didn't really have any idea what I wanted for supper. But...while I was strolling the aisles of Food Lion, something caught my eye! Something I love dearly. Something that I typically only eat once a year. It comes in a can. It's deep red. It's jelly. It's cranberry. Anybody guessed it yet?! That's right, CRANBERRY SAUCE! And, when I saw this wonderful canned creation, a lightbulb went off in my head! Y'all aren't going to believe this!

For dinner tonight, I had the best. sandwich. ever. It was wonderful! Toasty bread, melted cheese, warm stuffing, crisp romaine, cold cranberry sauce, and a touch of mayonnaise. Y'all, I think I tasted a little piece of heaven! Everyone has to make this sandwich ASAP. I'm not even kidding one bit. In fact, I loved it so much, I'm having it again for lunch tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. Ok, well now I'm getting a bit carried away.

   
Here's the Cast of Characters:
- 2 slices of Pepperidge Farm Oatmeal bread...or whatever bread suits you
- 1 slice of Muenster cheese...or whatever cheese suits you
- A bit of Duke's mayonnaise...or whatever mayo suits you (...but if you eat Miracle Whip, we can't be friends! haha.)
- A bit of prepared Stove Top Turkey stuffing...or whatever brand suits you
- A bit of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce...or whatever cranberry sauce suits you
- A few slices of DeliFresh sliced turkey breast...or whatever turkey suits you
- A crisp leaf of romaine lettuce

(please excuse the terrible iPhone pictures!)

After toasting your bread, spread a little mayo on one slice. On top of the mayo, spread a little (or, if you're like me, a lot) of cranberry sauce on top of the mayo. Place the sliced turkey on top of the cranberry sauce, and place the romaine on top of the turkey. On the other slice of bread, place the slice of cheese. Spread some warm stuffing on top of the cheese. Put as much or as little as you like. Put the sandwich together, slice, and enjoy! And, I didn't do this, but dip the sandwich in some ready-made gravy if you're feeling extra fiesty! :)

I'm absolutely in love with this sandwich. I don't care how many calories, how much sodium, or how many grams of fat are in this little masterpiece. It was wonderful. And it was the perfect reminder that Thanksgiving is right around the corner!

Peace and blessings...
