Toasty Sandwiches on crusty bread is all it takes, to send  my son D’Angelo in a sandwich frenzy.  He no longer cares for subs outside of our home. I have always informed  him that I make the best everything. I refuse to buy a sandwich, when all the ingredients are at the tips of my finger.  When you enjoy cooking as much as I do,  eating or purchasing food outside of your home, is rarely a thought.  I love crusty breads and so does he.  With a refrigerator that houses all kinds of vegetables, who the heck needs a soggy sandwich from a fast food joint?

Now that he is aware that sandwiches can very  easily be prepared, D’Angelo no longer feels deprived, nor does he harrass me.  He would often get irritated, whenever  he requested a certain kind of food and my response would be: “I can make that.” Now he is more than happy to create his own sandwiches. He would repeat the same sandwich until he grew tired of the “same ole thing.”  He uses the phrase:  (this is the best_____” ),  pretty much on everything that I cook or prepare for him, as if its going out of style. You would think it was his first time eating anything ever.  He really does appreciated his food, and is rather self sufficient.

Thank God, I buy in bulk! I don’t know what I would’ve done if I didnt,  because he would’ve really eaten me out of house and home. He made Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwiches every day for an entire week.  When I prepared the sandwich on french bread, he was so excited and exclaimed, “Mom you have to buy this bread everyday!” If I hadnt gained the title of “the woman who lives in her kitchen”and you didn’t know me, you would’ve thought that my child wasn’t properly fed or provided for. He is majorly dramatic and overly excited, and he is still a great kid. He is learning to become a little more appreciative of me, and brags about his mom’s cooking from tim to time. It reminds me that I am doing my job as a mother and for that….I am pleased.
