Tonight is sandwich night at our house. It's oh so easy and oh so delicious. I used the extra time today to bake a fresh loaf of bread for the sandwiches. How I love the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven. I feel a good sandwich has a great deal to do with the bread choice. Get a really good loaf of bread and your sandwich will become a feast. Baking bread is a lot easier than most people realize. Yes there are many intricate recipes that require practice and skill but there are also many easy recipes for novices.
We are taking our leftover pork tenderloin traveling with the great flavors of a Cuban Mexican fusion.

TIP OF THE DAY: Don’t over look the sheer joy of sandwich night. If you are not doing a great deal of extensive preparation you may have time to bake a loaf of bread or two which can be enjoyed during the rest of the week or even frozen. Sandwich night is also a great way to marry little bits of leftover treats that have accumulated in the fridge. Use them before you lose them to spoilage. How much would we save if we used our leftovers in a timely and efficient way?
