Sammich Sundays, I

My dear husband loves sandwiches.  Seriously.  There is seldom a meal that I prepare around here that he isn't slapping between two pieces of bread at one point or another.  So, I started a pinterest board of sandwiches of course, but then the board grew, I moved on and have not looked back until a few weeks ago, upon trying to figure out what to do with Thanksgiving leftovers, it dawned on me....let's try a new sandwich every week.  Sammich Sundays were born.  We've only done two, but have two more planned and so far so good.

Our first contender is a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, but not just any Thanksgiving leftover sandwich..... does this look familiar to anyone......???



I love Friends. Louis loves friends. Perhaps this episode of Friends is also familiar at your house?  Ross is going through a tough time and all he's looking forward to is eating a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich that his sister, Monica, makes for him.  As you can see from the picture above, what makes this particular sandwich so good is the 'moist maker'.  We searched high and low on the internet and found no shortage of variations on  this sandwich.  For our first 'Sammich Sunday' I present to you my thanksgiving leftover sammich with the moist maker!



Now if you google this sandwich, you are going to find a plethora of various recipes- see the episode doesn't give an exact recipe, short of specifying the MOIST MAKER, which is the crucial part of this sandwich, it is basically your own preference of all good things Thanksgiving. :)  For Louis, that looked liked this:  wheat brea, miracle whip, lettuce, turkey, mashed potatoes, the moist maker, stuffing, cranberry sauce and then topped with another piece of wheat bread- this one without miracle whip. 

He finished that bad boy off in like 1 minute flat.  I did not have one. I'm not crazy about sandwiches like that, so I had a traditional open faced sandwich.  Not nearly as exciting. :)
