We didn't have sandwiches for Easter supper, but that doesn't mean I can't sandwich it up with the leftovers. Since we've made it an unofficial tradition to buy a Honey Baked Ham, I consider Easter the best leftover sandwich holiday after Thanksgiving.

Here, I put a few slices of leftover ham on a delicious roll homemade by my future baker-in-law brother-in-law Adam. His wife Libby made mashed potatoes, which I smeared on the bottom of my sammie. Andrew's cider-thyme cabbage and some whole-grain mustard added the kick. As cute as it is here, the sandwich sort of fell apart when I tried to eat it. Still, it was delicious! Praise Jesus!

Often I make sandwiches even when they're not on the menu. My friend Anna calls it "sandwiching it up" — taking the ingredients of a meal and constructing them into an impromptu sandwich.

The other night, Andrew and I made a delicious salad with tuna, feta, beluga lentils, tomatoes, and some other stuff, served with a side of hummus and pita. We couldn't help ourselves: next thing I knew, we were spreading hummus inside the pita pockets and stuffing them full of salad.

You might chalk it up to sandwich addiction, but I like to think it is my compulsion as a countrywoman paying tribute to America's quintessential food. Do you sandwich it up?
