I make a mean sammich. I don't like the food I make (though others rave about it) but I am fond of my sammiches. A good sammich is all about fresh ingredients layered in a particular order on good bread. My personal favourite is avo (sliced not mashed), beetroot (dried on both sides on paper towel), salt, kumato, freshly ground pepper, mushroom (cored, peeled and sliced) and cheese. I will add lettuce (iceberg only) but only if it is not bitter or stringy which they have been both this year. Ideally the cheese will be quite thinly sliced; though cheese cutting is not my number one skill.
I love making sammiches. I believe all food should be made with love and the ingredient slicing and layering for sammiches gives so many opportunities to apply love.
I see an analogy between sammiches and people. Anyone can slap some ingredients together and call it lunch but it takes effort and planning to make a high quality sammich. Likewise, most people have all the required ingredients but for a rare few that are built specially. They are layered perfectly with quality ingredients and have real substance. They're the kind of people others are magnetically attracted to. People repeatedly go out of their way to spend time with these super humans because of the way they are wired. These people, like a good sammich, are rare and highly sought after. Two or three people at a time will be chasing them. They are spoilt for choice but rarely see it.
