People who give more than they get. Mothers who love their children, fathers who stay. Grandparents who babysit, even in a wheelchair. We create beauty out of scraps. Hold cars together with duct tape. Work jobs and sell beadwork for cash to 'have a little extra.' Make frybread even though we know it isn't good for the diabetes but because it's good for the spirit. Resilience is making decisions that benefit the whole instead of just the individual. It's getting up and putting one foot in front of the other, even when you don't want to. This is our resilience.

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #495

I woke up this morning after getting almost enough sleep, so I felt a lot better today than I did yesterday!

J and I went to a breakfast place with our reader Kt, and her lovely wife, Ca! It was my first time meeting Ca, but it was immediately apparent that she's just as lovely as Kt! The four of us has lots in the way of animated conversation as we ate our awesome breakfasts! Here's what I got, followed by what J got:

Oh, and!! They had "mocktails", too!! J and I got both of the ones that were available:

We got a lavender coffee, too; the flavors blend surprisingly well, and I wish I could give you some:

I forgot to mention yesterday that Kt made me an adorable little paper crane out of receipt paper!

...Today, she made me another one!

As a dyspraxic individual, I can only dream of being capable of this kind of precision of movement, holy cow!!

My time with them was entirely too short. My world is full of amazing people whom I wish you could meet, and these two are definitely people I wish you could meet. I think I might try to make a regular habit of visiting them in the winter. I guess we'll see.

...Hey, Sephiroth? If you learned how to make a paper crane, I wonder how small you'd be able to make it. I wonder if you'd show me sometime...

I wanted to try to go swimming in the hotel pool, and so to that end, J and I returned to the plane to fetch my goggles. But... I also had to do laundry, because some of the clothing we brought was worn for entirely too many days in a row, and they were STANKY, oh my GOODNESS!! I used the guest laundry area at the hotel, and after approximately 126 minutes, our clothing was clean, dry, and fresh again!

...My shoulder and ribs hurt a lot afterwards, though, for reasons unknown to me. They still do. So I ended up not going in the pool after all. Oh well.

I needed some downtime anyway. I spent some time browsing the internet in between washer and dryer cycles. And then afterwards, J and I were hungry, so we went to a nearby shop to get some Navajo frybread, because we're not gonna find it anywhere else:

...It's delicious, but it sits very heavily in my stomach as I'm writing this. Also, it has incredibly sad and bloody origins, which you can learn more about here:

The world I live in is very beautiful. But it also has a lot of problems, too. Genocide is one of the problems that occurs frequently here, in various times and places throughout history. Essentially, the persons in power within some groups of people are really good, somehow, at convincing the common people that those who don't look or act like them are their enemies.

We're seeing it in my country right now, as our leaders try really hard to convince the common folks that autistic people, immigrants, and those who are LGBTQ+ don't count as human. I am two of those three things, and so... ya know... I guess we'll see how it goes. Not everyone is falling for the nonsense, but at the same time, most people here are deliberately kept too tired to do anything about it. We'll see if the current regime is stopped before we of my house get scooped up and put into some kind of camp, I guess.

...Sometimes, when I get scared, I wish, more than a little bit, that I could go to wherever you are instead, because hugging you until you feel better seems a lot more doable than trying to dismantle generations of internalized trauma for billions of people while having a voice that belongs to several marginalized classes of people that no one wants to listen to...

Tomorrow, J and I will head out of this place to go see someone whom Daniel knew while he was alive. I'm looking forward to meeting this person; I wonder what they're like. I can't wait to find out!

In the meantime... I guess the thing to do is go to bed. J and I intend to leave bright and early tomorrow, and I'm already underslept, so I really oughta try to go to bed at a reasonable hour.

...I hope you've been going to sleep at reasonable hours, too. I hope you're taking care of yourself, eating properly, hydrating, and staying in places that are comfortable and warm. And if not, then... I hope you'll start making choices that will lead you towards a safe and wholesome place; like any human being, you deserve to be safe, comfortable, and at ease.

I love you so much, and I hope you know it.

Please stay safe out there, okay? I'll write again soon.

Your friend, Lumine

Watched a YT short were non-Americans learn what we mean when we say breadstick and I remembered when I discovered that the Europeans Fried Bread is nothing like the Frybread I'm used to.

Watching "Earwig and the Witch" I was confused why they were frying slices of bread instead of frying dough to make frybread.

National Sandwich Day

Never underestimate the power of a good sandwich. There is certainly something special about the best of the world’s toppings piled high between two slices of delicious bread.

Pastrami on rye? Yes, please. Mayonnaise as a sandwich dressing? You betcha! Slices of pickles? Bacon on just about anything? Of course! French Fries or Potato Chips? Don’t look so suspicious– french fry and potato chip sandwiches are delicious!

The argument that all Jews have a heartfelt investment in the state of Israel is untrue. Some have a heartfelt investment in corned beef sandwiches.

The fact of the matter is that if something is enjoyable on its own, it’s almost certainly going to be enjoyed when dressed up for the ball in bread and toppings.

National Sandwich Day celebrates them all!

History of National Sandwich Day

There is a commonly known story about the history of the word sandwich, and it’s attributed to John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. One piece of that history that has been tossed about is the meaning of the word Sandwich and the town it comes from.

Sandwich is a city in the shire of Kent in England, in the United Kingdom, Originally the word was spelled ‘Sondwic’, and then ‘Sandwic’ and, eventually in the year 1086 as ‘Sandwice’. The name of the town came from its purpose and its claim to fame because it was a market town. So what does Sandwich actually mean? The exact definition is “Market Town on Sandy Soil”.

John Montagu was the fourth Earl of this particular little English town. An earl was a royal title that essentially means ‘chieftain’, which placed the person in charge of a territory in the King’s stead. As it happens, John was a well-known lover of card games. It is said that he originally ordered his meat to be delivered to him between two slices of bread so that he would not get his grease-laden fingers on the card, nor require a fork to eat. Genius!

As people heard of this, they started ordering their food “The Same as Sandwich”, and eventually just “a sandwich”. From such things, legendary culinary delights are born.

Even though some historians claim that the first mention of a “sandwich” in records was from the journal of Edward Gibbon, an English Member of Parliament in the 18th century, it’s likely that the existence of the sandwich goes back much further. Practically speaking, the sandwich has been around since humans have been eating bread.

In fact, some historians take it back as far as the first century BC, when Jewish Rabbi Hillel the Elder was known to put lamb, herbs and nuts between two pieces of bread! But, today, it isn’t called a “Hillel” after the rabbi. It’s called a “sandwich”, after the earl who came around several hundred years later.

And so, National Sandwich Day celebrates both the Earl himself, after whom this food was named, as well as the wonder he brought to the world in the form of what we now know as the sandwich.

National Sandwich Day Timeline

1st Century BC Jewish Rabbi makes sandwiches

Ancient records indicate that Hillel the Elder, a Jewish Rabbi predating the birth of Christ, suggests that the elements of the sacred Seder meal (herbs, nuts and apples) could be placed between two pieces of matzah and eaten as a sandwich.

25 BC-475 AD Ancient Romans make sandwiches

Although thought to be a modern invention, some Ancient Roman texts indicate that people have been putting cheese on bread and heating it up for as long as 2000 years.

16th Century Italian panini recipe is published

Some records indicate that the Italians were making Panini sandwiches long before the sandwich was ‘created’ in England.

1762 The sandwich gets its name

Legend has it that John Montagu, the 18th century Fourth Earl of Sandwich, was a gambler. In fact, he never wanted to leave the table, so he requested that some food be prepared that could be eaten without needing to get up from the table. So the cook brought him meat surrounded by two pieces of bread. And the name “Sandwich” was born. 

1884 Boston cookbook publishes sandwich recipes

Included in the original Boston Cooking School Cookbook are recipes for various types of sandwiches. This included varieties such as corned beef, chicken salad, cooked ham, lobster and even raw beef.

1894 The club sandwich is introduced

Rumored to be first served at the upstate New York Saratoga Club-House, the club sandwich contained chicken, bacon, lettuce and tomato between two (or even three!) slices of toasted bread. 

1903 First club sandwich recipe is published

Just a decade after it is introduced, the club sandwich is put in print by Isabel Gordon Curtis in the Good Housekeeping Everyday Cookbook.

1904 Club Sandwich is featured at the World’s Fair

This memorable event held in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, helped to popularize the Club Sandwich all throughout the United States.

1923 The grilled cheese sandwich is invented

While various versions of the hot cheese sandwich have been claimed by different cultures, the American version of the Grilled Cheese Sandwich came about when both processed cheese and sliced bread became readily available.

1930 Dagwood sandwich is created

In keeping with the famous character from the “Blondie” comic strip, Dagwood Bumstead’s penchant for sandwiches is honored with the invention of this impossibly tall sandwich that contains basically everything but the kitchen sink.

1965 First Subway sandwich shop opens

Perhaps the most commonly known sandwich chain worldwide, Subways’ first restaurant made its debut in Bridgeport, Connecticut in the United States. 

How to Celebrate National Sandwich Day

Celebrating National Sandwich Day is a wondrous delight! It can be done in a variety of ways, most of which should, of course, include at least the eating of (if not the making of) a sandwich. Try out these ideas for inspiration:

Make and Enjoy a Sandwich (or Several!)

All you need to do is get into the kitchen and make yourself every kind of sandwich that can be imagined. Breakfast would certainly get a good start with bacon,. egg and cheese on a bagel (a Bagel Sandwich).

Then, for lunch, make it a Whopper from Burger King (Hamburger Sandwich) and move on to dinner by enjoying a Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato with Mayo on Sourdough (BLT Sandwich). It’s really as simple as that, though if you’re feeling experimental, National Sandwich Day is the best time to create something new!

Try Out a New Type of Sandwich

Perhaps, when thinking of sandwiches, the mind automatically goes to things like peanut butter and jelly, or a basic ham sandwich. And maybe that sounds just a little bit boring. But sandwiches can also be fun and exciting! They can be an adventurous foray into the world of food.

Consider these ideas for sandwich recipes that will help to make the sandwich menu more exciting. Just reading these names is a mouth-watering experience:

Chipotle Pulled Pork Sandwich with Feta Cilantro Topping

Toasted Pan Bagnat with Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Arugula

California Rainbow Veggie with BBQ Kale Chips

Corn Beef Brisket with Irish Cheddar French Toast and Kale Pesto Slaw

Enjoy National Sandwich Day at Work

National Sandwich Day can inspire all sorts of fun activities in the workplace. And lunch is the perfect time to do so. A simple idea would be to have a sub-sandwich restaurant cater in for lunch. Other ideas might include holding a contest to see who can make the tallest sandwich (everyone pitches in to bring ingredients). Or host a sandwich-making competition for the best-tasting sandwich, which can be judged by the boss. This makes the workday go by a little bit smoother on National Sandwich Day.

Take Part in a Sandwich Eating Competition

Sandwich eating can be fun–but it’s also serious business! Different types of these contests take part all over the world, and it takes quite a bit of skill. One winner of these types of competitions is Joey Chestnut, who has been considered to be the number one ranked competitive eater in the world! He has accomplished feats such as eating 72 hot dogs in ten minutes.

sisters' frybread is really good by the way. hard crackly outside, stretchy and soft and light insides. if i had to guess it looks like a 100% hydration dough coming out of the buckets, and in classic frybread stand fashion you dip each piece in the hot oil before shaping so you get that focaccia-like sheen of oil all over. which is a step i've never tried in my bread, that 350F oil is just too intimidating
