Is it normal that i make a sandwich everyday?
It all started when I was 8 years old. After my mom made me a peanut butter sandwich for dinner one evening, I made a vow to my mother that day that she would never ever have to make me another peanut butter sandwich EVER again.
Now...as an 8yr. old we all know how vows and promises of grand stature usually go...a day or two goes by and it's like it never existed.
But for SOME odd reason...this crusade stuck with me.
I just LOVE making sandwiches, any type of sandwich to be specifically unspecific. The texture, granules of the grains of the bread just haromonize with my soul in such a way that that makes me just continue to keep making them consistently.
I make it a sort of ritual everyday, and try to vary it up as much as possible so as not to induce weariness with a certain sandwich spread. Like, for a short period in my life with my sibling, my mother fed us Arby's Roast Beef sandwiches for like a straight month. Everyday for lunch that's what we ate. Arby's.
It was the most horrifying experience I've ever had in my entire lifetime.
Anyway, the sandwich making obviously has gotten more elaborate as time has gone on. Like they say "Shorty upgrade from boloney." I have gone so far most recently here to actually start making specific expert 2 & 3 tier level sandwiches with pricey meats, good cheeses, and certain sauces and spreads that I have been experimenting with for correct enhanced flavor without overpowering the whole melt.
I use only the freshest ingredients mind you, the crispier the vegetable the better to give the sandwich that *pop* of flavor accentuated by different combinations of spices and deli meats and vegetables.
I have gone so far as to incorporate 'fruit' in the mixtures but so far I will tell you that that needs to be thoroughly thought out from a vantage point(usually of tasting it) before implementing toward others.
Yes, I make them for others too when somebody comes over to chill or hang. I don't make a big deal about it or anything but I do observe the reactions closely of the people that partake in my confections.
I sometimes think of making my own sandwiches for the general public consumption of people, but I don't think I am the type of person to manage a restaurant as I really am not a extravert. I don't like the spotlight, I just love making sandwiches.
The thing is...it's become such a habit that now I cant even go a day without making at least one sandwich. And I think it's starting to develop into a OCD sorta thing as I just can't imagine not confecting at least SOMETHING in the day...like it makes me feel I am not doing enough with my life if it isn't done. It's religious now is what I am trying to say. Sometimes I don't feel like it that day, but inevitably, by the end of that 24 period somehow I have made one. Now I feel as if maybe this is something I need to have checked out or am I normal and do others do the same thing? Suffer from it?
Should I try and go the hospitality route and pursue some sort of chef/baker career(I don't really bake, I just grill, roast and sautee my sandwiches) or should I just continue to privately make my own sandwiches and just share with my friends?
