After all these years, it’s finally happened. Josh has finally acknowledged the deliciousness of my own special sandwich trick. Vindication at last.

It’s possible that other people do this as well, but I don’t believe I’ve heard of anyone trying it who hasn’t heard of it from me. It’s a slightly delicate operation, but I promise it’s worth it. What you do is, you toast one slice of bread to a medium brown. (You’ll have an easier time if it’s a plain white or wheat bread without inclusions.) Then, while it’s still warm, you stand the toast upright on your cutting board and slide a serrated knife right down through the soft middle, parallel to the broad surface of the toast, dividing it into two ultra-thin, crunchy-crackly slices.

This is especially good with egg salad, tuna salad, or thinly sliced leftover Thanksgiving turkey with lots of pepper. Any relatively delicate filling would do. Today’s winning sandwich was a tuna salad loaded with minced celery and a touch of paprika.

I’ve been told more than once that slicing toast like this looks bizarre and borderline insane. Well. They called me mad at the academy, but I’ll show them. I’ll show them all! Muah hah hah hah hah om nom nom nom *crunch*
