Description: Hello people, it s all about cards (more...) today! On the show I m showing you how to make delightful card themed sandwiches. I put them together for a bridge luncheon we had on my original cable access show. They re ever so simple. Here s how: You ll need: Suit shaped cookie cutters Thin sliced sandwich bread Deli meat Thin sliced cheese Leaf lettuce Sliced olives Toothpicks Start by stacking your sandwich, then place your cookie cutters on top and press down very firmly until you ve separated the shape from the rest of the sandwich. Open top tin type cookie cutters work best for this because they re sharp enough to cut through all layers. Remove the sandwich from the cutter and trim off any stragglers with a scissors. The bottom of what you ve just cut will be the top of the sandwich. Finish by garnishing with a sliced olive speared with a toothpick. These can be made with all different types of cookie cutters for all different occasions. Keep in mind, however, the more elaborate the shape the more difficult it will be to cut the sandwich- the club is the most complicated of the suits to cut. Hint: If you want to add condiments to your sandwich, do it after they re cut. The layers slip around too much if you ve dressed it before you attempt to cut them. This week on my NPR podcast we re featuring a bit of archival Brini with some tips for your kitchen. For those of you that haven t heard it before, enjoy! For those of you that have, we ll be back next week with an all new episode. Also, don t forget to make your reservations for Mondo Lounge Atomic Frolic! It s the 26 through the 28 of January in Las Vegas. I hope to see you there! (less)
