I like simple sandwiches with lots of fresh vegetables in the summer. Dark Bread with good butter and sliced radishes or cucumbers, Tomato and cheese or blt sandwiches. Oh and how about ham with really ripe peach slices?

Summer sammies????? definitely PANINI - anything goes with that! I love lettuce, tomato, onion, on any typr of bread, rolls, etc. slathered with mayo or vinaigrette or a sammie topper of some sort, sometimes pickles, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted peppers, cucumbers, possilby with cheese(s), and any type of deli meats, meats, veggies, etc.

Cathy, this time of year I only have 1 summertime sandwich on my mind. I plant the seeds, take care of the seedlings, wait for warmer weather and put the plants in the garden. Watch the plants grow, slowly until the heat builds and then the plants take off. Finally the fruit starts to grow. Then it's a waiting game for the red color to come along and say, " get out the bread and Miracle Whip". I absolutely love home grown, plant ripened big thick slices of tomato with a bit of salt and pepper with the juice just running out of the tomato as I try to eat the sucker with out jamming the whole thing into my big mouth in 1 shot. Especially the first tomato sandwich of the year. It's been a tradition with me, started by my grandmother over 45 years ago. Every year I'm chomping at the bit waiting for that 1st ripe tomato.

I don't like eating hot food during the hot days of summer because I hate heating up the house. I work out side and cook enough with the sun beating on me. Specially when roofing jobs come along. I like cold salad sandwiches like tuna, chicken, ham and turkey salads. If these salads aren't between slices of bread I'll scoop out a tomato and fill it with the salad. At times I'll use the burner on the grill to make Egg Plant Parmesan sandwiches, cheese steak sandwiches (my kids favorite) or sausage and pepper sandwiches.

1 type of sandwich I really want to try is the Greek Gyro. I'm not a big fan of lamb so I may try to make a Greek style meat loaf on the rotisserie using ground pork instead. The cooled meat loaf is then sliced very thin and served on a flat bread almost taco style with a sauce that very much reminds me of a cross between an Italian and Ranch dressings. Flat bread is very easy to make on the grill too.

AAAARGH, of course, lol. I hafta agree with the BLT. Around here that one is a must around here.
