One Mayonnaise Sandwich Please
When I was young, Mama would make me mayonnaise sandwiches. It was just bread and mayo, but I thought it was fine dining. Of course there wasn’t much nutrient in that fancy sandwich, so my mom wouldn’t let me eat it on a regular basis. But Mama would always indulge my cravings.
When my dad got remarried, they served sandwiches at the reception. I did not like anything on them except for the mayo. So I took everything off and ate bread and mayonnaise like the fancy lady that I am. He was not impressed.

It makes great turkey subs, ranch dip, salad dressing, and grilled cheese. And of course I like to smear a little on my sourdough sandwich bread for a mayonnaise sandwich.
