Between the Bread

In my sandwich world, the holidays mean two things: homemade cornmeal molasses bread (baked by my father- or brother-in-law) and Honey Baked Ham, which always seems to make an appearance.

I look forward to both special ingredients all year, not to mention the occasional mini-sandwiches at holiday parties. As we bid farewell to 2010, here are three of the special sammies I had the pleasure of eating this holiday season.

Homemade cornmeal molasses bread elevates a standard turkey, cheese, and spinach sandwich with pickles (pictured above) to gourmet levels.

Honey Baked Ham, served on Christmas Eve, is reborn as post-Christmas leftovers on my father-in-law's homemade dinner rolls.

I got giddy when I saw these miniature lobster rolls at a holiday party, though they didn't taste quite as cute as they looked. Still, I appreciate the sentiment.

What sandwiches did you eat this holiday season?

Christmas morning means sandwiching it up, since we always have Honey Baked Ham and biscuits. We usually buy the biscuits at Popeye's but this year they were Mary B's.

We even had a sandwich Christmas eve, with the honey ham on sliced Italian bread with sweet mustard. Mmmmm. Did your Christmas involve a sandwich celebration?
