Smooshy sandwich season is upon us

Smooshy sandwich season is here again. Oh yes, smooshy sandwiches do have a season. And it is NOW.

I take me some bread, slather some mayo on it (preferably Miracle Whip), add the cheese and meat, then top it with potato chips (preferably Lays). Then I smoosh the sandwich together real nice.

And don't think for one second that the smooshing is irrelevant and doesn't affect the taste, because it is all that matters, my friends. Without the smoosh, it's just a boring sandwich. With the smoosh...magic yum. Mmmm...

Side dish=dill pickle. Perfecto.

A new recipe to try

This recipe is from my friend, Jen Swanson, and she is the queen of party dishes. She brought this salad to Hudson's lively "Wipe-out" obstacle course party. It is appropriately called "Yummy Salad" and let me tell you folks, it lives up to its name!
