This was some Italian Ice we enjoyed a couple weeks back when friends were visiting. It was such a great little treat for a summer evening. . .a hot summer evening. All that being said, the big mistake I made last week was not focusing on summer-associated recipes for our dinners. This week will be different thanks to great deals at the grocery store and the realization that our summer is almost over. Let's all take advantage as long as it lasts!
After my first ultrasound, we headed over to Park Ave. in Winter Park for a lunch. I knew immediately I wanted Powerhouse Cafe. On a hot midday in the scorching Orlando summer, I wanted the coolness of a cold sandwich and a smoothie. Not to mention, frozen fruit in general makes me very happy right now.
I think I've pretty well covered the fact that I love egg salad sandwiches. Even looking at this picture with the yellow and white mixture overflowing the boundaries of the rosemary bread makes me wish I hadn't run out of eggs and had more egg salad for dinner tonight. (Fortunately, grocery-shopping-day is tomorrow.) The rosemary bread goes for $2.25 a loaf at Costco. Make sure you have a good knife to cut it. When I leftovers to take to lunch, I put the egg salad in one bowl and wrap the bread in another bowl to keep the bread from getting soggy while I work. It's wise to pack a plastic knife to help spread the egg salad onto your bread when the clock strikes noon.
I had been wanting an egg salad sandwich and was happy to make my own with a new supply of eggs purchased for holiday baking. Also, I came across some flatbread and was interested in giving it a try. Paul often likes sandwiches on pita bread, but good pita is hard to come by around here. I thought this might be an acceptable replacement.
