Haley's Ham Sammy


Travels bring unexpected events, of course.  Sometimes big ones, sometimes small.

In Breckenridge, Colorado last night we had the chance to meet 7-year-old Haley who came over to play with a new friend, Breslyn, and to have dinner.  This was after a fine day of skiing; we pulled out some steaks, cut them into cubes, got out the skewers, put out some glazing sauce and the ingredients to make S’mores  all to be roasted over some little, cast-iron burners.




And?  Haley pulls out a little baggie in which were some yummies: cheese curls, pretzels, and a ham and cheese sandwich.  So.  What’s this?  Better than steak?!

Her mom said Haley had made it: she was bringing her own dinner and loves ham and cheese sandwiches.  And she opened her baggie and brought out this lovely ham sammy with cheese.  As she was munching away at this gourmet sandwich, I asked her (joking), "can I have a bite?"  She shook her head no, but then pulled out the half she wasn't eating, actually tore it in two, and..?

Handed this great hunk of sammy to me.  Bite.  Oh, what a sandwich!  So good.  Brilliant!  Moist, buttery, cheesy.  The BEST.


Soooo Yummy!

It's a big deal to share such a great sammy with someone!  She was so generous!  You might go to Paris and never find a sandwich like this one!  Who knew such a simple bite could be SO good?

And then I made her a luscious S'more with dark chocolate as a thank you.  She said it was very good, too.  But that sandwich she made!

Haley and her new buddy, Breslyn, finished their S’mores and went off to play.

Thank you, Haley.  You're a dear!
