and now… food!

as promised, here is a post about something other than baby crafts.  this one features my new favorite summer sandwich!

i know i’ve posted about summer sandwiches before (wow.  that is some vintage happy stuff. no photos!  hardly any text!  look how far we’ve come…) and i do still like all of those sandwiches, but it’s nice to figure out a new recipe to throw into the mix every now and then.  this one is lovely.  from the bottom slice of bread up, it contains hummus, shredded carrot/ginger salad (leftover side dish from earlier in the week), avocado, sprouts i grew myself using this tutorial (so easy!), cucumber, and labna from a local ethnic food store.  a friend of mine recently introduced me to this particular variety of greek yogurt–it’s so thick that it’s closer to cream cheese almost and makes a beautiful sandwich spread.  i might have thrown a little salt and pepper or possibly za’atar on the sandwich too.  this sandwich is the perfect combination of textures–from smooth and creamy to crisp and crunchy and just enough sticky stuff so that the whole thing doesn’t fall apart the minute you take a bite.
