Had a good sammich yesterday

Heat wave in the Northeast due to global warming. We never used to have heat waves. Spent two hours in and out of a pool. Water was too warm, not too refreshing. Needed some giant ice floes in it, hold the Polar Bear. The good part was that Mrs. BD ordered me a tuna melt on white toast with lots of jalapeno slices in the cheese. Chips on the side. A perfect lunch.

Can you eat a sandwich without potato chips on the side? I can not and will not. Impossible. Our place fries their own daily. A bit thick and just slightly burnt. Fried in beef lard, I think. Delicious. A loud, hearty crunch. Easy to make at home with a mandoline.

re Fried in beef lard

I prefer fries to chips but your larger point is so true. Potatoes fried in beef fat (edible tallow) are as good as it gets.

Heat wave? We think its cold when it goes down to 82 degrees here in Florida in the summer. Been that way since before Al Gore. Thank G-- someone invented Air conditioning. Water has been warm since May. The one good thing is in the winter it doesn't snow. That's when we call our Northern relatives to ask how's the weather.

Try sweet potato chips fried in peanut oil.

Pressed sandwich.

Prosciutto, arugula, Fontina cheese and sliced pear. Ciabatta bread.

Best sandwich you will ever eat.

Have you not learned anything. Of course there is no such thing as a heat wave these days; it's called a heat dome and it is another sign that mother Gaia is angry with us.
