IF YOU’VE BEEN READING CAREFULLY, you already know that I can make a sandwich out of almost anything. Cucumber sandwiches, tomato sandwiches, and even onion sandwiches (with mayo) were a staple of my childhood. When I was in college and medical school and time and dollars were tighter, nothing seemed to beat iceberg lettuce and American cheese (with mayo of course) on whole wheat bread.
Depending on the variety, lettuce can be a good source of folate and Vitamin C. Romaine and loose leaf lettuce contains 5 to 6 times the Vitamin C and up to 10 times the Vitamin A of iceberg. (They don’t teach you anything about nutrition in med school!)

Oh mercy, now I AM hungry!!!Today I made a pickle and cheese sandwich, then keep adding stuff to it,like some peppers, and onions and a piece of grilled eggplant!!!!then added a few potato chips like my brother did, to give it extra crunch. This site looks better and better.
PS: My Aunt May in Chattanooga says I MIGHT COULD have a sandwich!!
)))))))( You reckon that is laughing??)
Potato chip sandwiches are a fond memory of my childhood. When the potato crop comes in this year, I’m going to make homemade chips so that I can revive the chip sandwich!
Potato chips, peanut butter, and banana sandwiches have everything you need on them.
I really love the covers of the D. Landreth Seed Co. seed packets!
My daddy used to sing this silly song like a Bach cantata bout Let Us Have Some Lettuce! He would keep on going until Mama begged him George, please quit that, Sing some Irving Berlin. I love silly so much.
