I. Am. HOME!! After two days and 15 hours in the car Jango and I arrived yesterday afternoon! It's so nice to be back. It's funny how you can drive down streets you haven't been on in over a year and lived around in over 4 years, but when you drive into town, you feel like you never left.
So, in honor of our moving back to Groton (Gales Ferry) for the next couple years, I would like to share a special little sandwich that my fellow Ledyard High classmates are very familiar with, and hold quite a nostalgic fondness for.
In high school we didn't have hot lunch. We had fast food days (like McDonald's every Monday, Taco Bell on Tuesday, Subway on Wednesday and so on), but we did have a store in the cafeteria. The heartiest and most filling thing they sold were bagels. Well, after awhile a plain bagel and cream cheese gets boring, so you start to experiment. This combination was a keeper...bagel, cream cheese, and BBQ Fritos.
Hey...don't knock it till you try it. Whether for breakfast or lunch, it's good.
Ok guys, I have a lot of cleaning and shopping to do before the movers get here with all our stuff (looks like they won't be here until next week which is a slight bummer, but what can ya do?), so I'm off for today! Have a good one!

Ingredients
1 bagel
2-3 tablespoons cream cheese
1 handful BBQ Fritos (or any flavor you prefer)
Directions
1. Toast bagel to desired 'toasty-ness'
2. Slather both sides with cream cheese.
3. Arrange a handful of BBQ Fritos around the bottom portion of the bagel. Replace top to make a sandwich.
4. Press down to break the chips and squish the sandwich together...enjoy!
I never tried this recipe. I was suppose to but but I had to undergo drain cleaning first. I can't risk my messy kitchen right now. But I am about to do it this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh FINALLY someone who gets a good 'weird' sammy.... I have been enjoying a variety of this sandwich for 15+ years, only mine is with regular Cheetos, or in the absence of said Cheetos, regular Dorito flavored chips work well too :-) Love your blog.... also was the navy wife but for a surface sailor!
