Sisterhood of the Traveling Sandwich II
It's a party! A sandwich party!
Brad and I were planning to have some friends over on Saturday and as I tried to come up with ideas for food, it occurred to me: it's Sandwich Party weekend. So we bought twice as many sandwich fixins as we actually needed and everyone concocted their own sandwiches.
Naturally, I liked mine the best (that's the beauty of being able to make your own, I guess).
Take two slices of marble rye. Cover one slice with roasted red pepper hummus, and the other with an olive tapenade:
Top with tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, provolone cheese, and some iceberg lettuce (for crunch):
Don't forget the pickle:
I was inspired to make this sandwich after having made a lot of olive hummus lately. I wasn't in the mood to actually cook anything, and I haven't found any place that sells olive hummus, so I tried the hummus plus olive tapenade compromise. It was fantastic. I will definitely be making this sandwich again.
[Seriously, they're making a sequel to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? I guess Hollywood has finally run out of ideas.]

Yum. Nice combination of textures too.
And there were apparently four books in the "Pants" series, so there's plenty of sequel fodder there.
No, I haven't read them.

Thanks for not mentioning the two bowls of ice cream I ate after polishing off this monster of a sandwich. I tell you, I've never known hunger like this before.

I wasn't going to say anything about that...
