A Blade of Crack in the Sandwich
My family reacted to a newspaper article again.
They asked me to make a "Green Bean and Tuna Potato Salad Sandwich."
A potato salad sandwich using 8-slice bread. Potato salad and lettuce are placed on the bread, folded over, and wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
If it's okay to use similar ingredients, not measure anything, and change the way it's cut and seasoned, I'll give it a try. What on earth are you using as a reference?
First attempt
(The recipe calls for boiling. Carrots are coarsely chopped)
(The recipe calls for using chopped onions + seasoning)
(The recipe calls for cutting green beans before boiling)
(The recipe calls for spreading mustard mayonnaise on the bread)
(The recipe calls for folding 8-slice bread with lettuce and potato salad inside)
First, with the usual sandwich.
It has so little volume and such an unfamiliar cross-section that I want to shout, "What happened!"
Second attempt
(Is the recipe about this amount too?)
I wonder how many times I've made sandwiches with 6-slice bread until now. You gradually come to understand the pros and cons of the thickness, the texture, and the suppleness of the crumb as you repeat the process.
That's why the anomaly that occurs a few seconds later is not a coincidence, but a resignation that isn't sad at all because I can see it coming.
It can't be folded because it's too thick.
The size of the ingredients is an obstacle.
Was the amount a bit too much?
It's pure recklessness that anyone who makes sandwiches would probably understand.
Still, I wanted to witness this moment with my own eyes.
Crackle, crackle, crackle!
The blade of the crack.
There is a good reason why the newspaper article specifies 8-slice bread and asks for the ingredients to be chopped finely.
In the end, it transformed into something resembling a potato salad sandwich, though I'm not sure why I folded it or wrapped it in plastic wrap.
The reporter who wrote the article wins. That is what publishing a recipe is all about. If there is a next time, I will obediently use 8-slice bread, lay down some lettuce, keep the fillings small and sparse, and meet a sandwich with neither cracks nor blades.
