open-face sandwich featuring crunchy peanut butter + hummus + jam (strawberry or raspberry). you get the salty, the tangy, and the sweet! toast the bread for some textural variety.

my dad's guilty pleasure food is an open-faced peanut butter and mayo sandwich. natural peanut butter & best foods/hellmans only!

sorry guys. i can't read this without posting this hilarious mcsweeney's article on fall decorating, "it's decorative gourd season, motherf*ckers."

love it! and i love these suggestions too, of course :)

I'm casting my lot in with the other BK fishwich lovers. I had one for the first time on an epic road trip from NYC to Chicago, and it blew the FOF out of the water. Puns!

my favorite SA blogger (now based in bklyn) is marie at 66 square feet. highly recommend checking her blog(s) for posts on south african food, flora, photography, and heritage -- as well as some nyc gardening ;)

peanut butter, hummus, and jelly. all my coworkers think i'm nuts, but it's delish. my dad (and his dad) enjoy peanut butter and mayonnaise open-faced sandwiches. weirdo pb concoctions run in the family!

jezebel commenters had field day with this one: http://jezebel.com/5274131/should-michelle-obama-get-back-in-the-kitchen and for once, i do agree with 'em. michelle used to cook all the time when her family required that of her, but now she's got a full kitchen staff to take care of something she thought of more as a chore (bummer that she doesn't enjoy it, but jeez! that's her prerogative!). why shouldn't she take advantage of that? i know i would -- at least some of the time. she's still sourcing locally and organically via her chefs, and "setting an example" via the WH garden. hesser's implications, though i think they really just came from a perhaps overly enthusiastic foodie, are dangerous when it comes to gender and even race issues. meanwhile, if michelle feels like sharing a family recipe or two, of course that'd be great! but you know what? she's got ample time for that, and, i have a feeling, more important things to do. she can't champion every single issue, right? check the jez comments for a thorough discussion.

wow, i've never even *heard* of a sabich, but as a loyal falafeler, i think i now need to broaden my horizons -- immediately!

i'm with @producestories. i didn't really find the article that interesting -- mostly b/c the shoplifter came off as a predictable ass -- but i'm standing by adam's right to post it. it had relevance; and not every.single.thing. on SE is something that i a) agree with b) find wholly fascinating....

we smelled it too: http://flavorwire.com/5785/flame-broiled-meat-the-new-man-musk#more-5785

and now our whole office smells like adolescent b.o.

pretty sure this is where the bowling half of ny's lebowski fest is this year! http://flavorpill.com/newyork/events/2008/11/15/lebowski-fest-nyc

three cheers for ashkara! this place really is the best, whether i'm popping in on a lunch break or lining my stomach after (or, more wisely, before) a night of drinking on the LES. the salad toppings make it bargain -- although i too fail at properly proportioning them within my pita. their belgian-style frites aren't bad, either....

it was no accident -- my vegan roommate introduced me to this sandwich when we were in college, and it's now my favorite thing to eat on earth (although i was totally grossed out at first): peanut butter, hummus, and jam. the hummus adds a wonderful tang to the salty/sweet combo of pb&j. she'll also pile on avocado, lettuce, and sometimes tomato, but i consider myself a pbh&j purist. oh, and it must be consumed in an open-faced construction. and crunchy pb is even better.
