As a gift for my recent birthday, my mom got me egg salad sandwiches!
This ranks as one of the most eccentric -- and thoughtful -- gifts I've ever received. At some point I must have mentioned how much I enjoy a good egg salad sandwich, but I rarely get to enjoy them because they're a pain to make. After the boiling and the cooling and the slicing and the mixing and the toasting; one measley sandwich is a bit of a let-down.
So, wrapped up in tissue and a fancy gift bag, I received:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 loaf of bread
- 1 jar of "lemonaisse"
The lemonaisse is a nice touch. The perfect mix of lemon, mayo, mustard and "special spices", it's way better than anything I would have made. So now I just peel and mash the eggs with some of the tasty concoction and it's insta-sandwich!
Way to recognize my laziness and my love for a well-made egg salad. Thanks Mum, it's been days of enjoyment!
