recipe #2: giant sandwiches, part one
So as you can tell from those cookies, I’m not so great at the cooking thing. And things haven’t so much improved, despite much practice (another round of biscuit cookies, and a mushy apple “crisp.” I assure you all these things taste fabulous, (and you should not judge a dessert by its crust) but they still look like they were made by kindergarteners. Which is why I have returned to my first love of sandwiches.
This is the sandwich I made today. It was really hard to eat. They usually are. I suggest wrapping the bottom half in foil or paper napkin/towel so as to not spill the contents on your lap, since you’re clearly not doing laundry very often lately.
1. Toast bagel. (I used whole wheat - pumpernickel, poppy or sesame would also be tasty with this). 
2. Fry up three to four pieces of facons with some olive oil until browned and crispy.
3. On one half of bagel: spread about 1/4 of a Reed avocado, top with one piece lettuce, two slices tomato, and a handful of snow pea sprouts.
4. Other half: a thick squirt of Miso Mayo (vegenaise/spicy mustard would also be acceptable) and the bacon strips.
5. Smash together.
6. Have a way difficult time eating.
7. Feel uncomfortably full.
This sandwich will taste even better if eaten while listening to George Allen’s concession speech. Mmm, I love the smell of pseudo-democracy in the afternoon.

Difficult to eat? You say that like it’s a problem. Who doesn’t love a challenge? Of course I say that after watching a ridiculously high-falutin’ build-a-better-burger competition on the Food Network.
I’m trying to take advantage of my new-found free time to better my cooking skillz. So far my efforts have yielded a giant batch of portobello mushroom chili, which admittedly is based off an Emeril Lagasse recipe, but no notches were kicked up, and I didn’t say “Bam!” when I made it, so I think that makes it okay.
