BREAKFAST OF HEROES

sandwich week was incredible.
i mean it.
all those new sandwiches,
all those old favorites,
all the edible expertise draw from all the previous celebrations.
all that bread.
i mean, it's a LOT of bread.
but good bread makes better people,
and the sandwiches have been proof of that.
i finished off the week with a buttery sourdough toast breakfast trophy-winner.
yup.

toasty homemade radical white mountain white bread, naturally leavened,
stuffed with all the stuff you might want for breakfast.
since the oven was already baking breads at 400 luscious degrees,
i took the opportunity to toss a few red and yellow potatoes with salt, pepper,
curry powder, and olive oil for a crispy bottom base layer.
i also had some spinach, mostly for color, honestly.
over that, i pan-fried a few sliced red lentil seitan sausages,
gave them a gentle tamari/water steam saute,
then finished them with a glaze of real maple syrup...
sweet. savory. manly. custom. and all mine.
expert.
then there's a heap of salt and peppery coconut-oil pan-fried exxxtra-firm tofu.
s'simple.
but also totally satisfying.
and you know i made MORE tempeh bacon.

it's a big sandwich, for being just one halved sourdough slice.
so, how do you turn that up to eleven,
as if it wasn't already?

GRAVY.
yup.
spinach, potatoes, sausage, tofu, tempeh bacon, aaaaaand gravy.
you know i saved all that thanksgiving goodness for situations like this one.
and that is how you make a glistening super-sexxxy sandwich for the last day.
everything was excellent.
and as far as sandwich week goes,
i'd definitely make another 'nother one of these.
it's just sandwiches, but it's also much more.
if you know, you know, if you don't,.
you're missing out;
never quiet, never soft.....
