Celebrate.

Well, everyone today is a very special day. Today we celebrate one of the greatest inventions ever to grace our fair Earth......the Sandwich. Yes, today...November 3 is National Sandwich Day.

To celebrate this glorious occasion, I thought I might provide you with some history on the Sandwich. Per Information week, here is how this glorious 2 breaded wonder was conceived:

--Nov. 3 is the anniversary of John Montagu's birthday. It's believed that this 18th-century English noble, better known as the fourth Earl of Sandwich, wanted to eat with one hand during a 24-hour gambling bender. So, he instructed his servants to serve him his lunch meat between two pieces of bread. To celebrate the occasion, Nov. 3 is officially "National Sandwich Day."--
So today skip the salad and get down on your favorite Sandwich. As long as it's bookended with 2 hearty slices of bread, it doesn't matter what you put in the middle...hence the glory of the Sandwich! I am going to indulge in Billy Grant's Lobster Grilled Cheese this afternoon....aaaannnd I've included the recipe so you can all follow suit. Check it:
Ingredients: Serves 1
2 slices of thickly sliced country white bread
4 ounces chunked fresh lobster meat
2 slices Havarti cheese
Unsalted butter to butter both sides of the bread
Toast the sandwich on the buttered side until golden brown on both sides.
Place in a 400° oven for a few minutes until cheese melts.
Allow to cool a minute, then enjoy!
