His Mrs.
July 19, 2010 | Neighborly Relations
Wow, you guys really like my neighbors. I do, too! They make me laugh, often supply me with alcohol at the end of the day and help me entertain the boys with their kids’ shenanigans, inflated pool and constant supply of new toys from Target.
The Mrs. and I get along very well — she laughs at my jokes and we discuss raising the kids. She asks for my style/decorating advice, and I get the scoop on the local elementary school.
On Friday, I spent almost the entire afternoon with the mom and two kids. She offered us lunch, and I wasn’t surprised when I chose to eat what the kids were eating (pasta and parmesan) instead of a gluten-free sandwich like the Mrs.
I wasn’t too sure how tasty gluten-free bread would be. I’m not too sure she needs to be gluten-free, but well, whatever. She was deciding what to put on her gluten-free bread and passionately exclaimed “NUTELLA,” which, hello, duh. They recently discovered the chocolate hazelnut goodness courtesy of our Nutella-devoted family! What took them so long?
But then other things ended up on the sandwich, so I sat there in shock as she stacked up this sandwich: Nutella, organic peanut butter, jelly and potato chips. On gluten-free bread. WTF?
And not only that, she seriously exclaimed “I can’t believe how good for you Nutella is, although it’s probably got a lot of fat!” That wacky Mrs!
Back to The Sandwich. What other awful sandwich combos have you seen eaten? One of my friend’s grandfather’s daily consumes a lettuce, peanut butter and mayo sandwich. *Shudder*

When I was a young’in, I was known to relish tomato sandwiches (toasted bread, sliced ripe tomato, mayo). I think MAYO is the key to any good sandwich.

There’s a parent blogger in NYC, the name escapes me but she’s a Big One, who advocates nutella as a good source of omega three or some good oil. I think lots of women rationalize excess nutella consumption that way.
Mmmm. Nutella.

Mmmm, Nutella. The rest of that sandwich sounds disgusting though. I would have gone with the kids lunch too.
