My 5 year old has a sandwich that he only refers to as "my favorite sandwich in the whole wide world!". And while I am not opposed to occasionally trekking to downtown Portland to PBJ's to pick it up (it's called the Cynthia), mainly because it gives me reason to pick up my own favorite - the Spicy Thai - there are times that it is just easier to have the option of making the said sandwich at home.
Like this morning. When I awoke at 6:12 a.m. and found my 5 year old in the kitchen with the bread, nutella, peanut butter and jelly all laid out on the counter. He was simply waiting for an adult to happen by and grill up his all-time favorite sandwich. By 6:20 he was covered in the sticky remains and happy as could be!
Or like two nights ago when the request for the sandwich came in at bedtime. After eating the first, he ate a second. Yeah, it's definitely good to have the option of making it at home. So get yourself some nutella, peanut butter and raspberry jam and join in the grilled sandwich revolution...and if you ever find yourself in Portland, call me and we'll meet at PBJ's.
