Lumberjacks

It seems appropriate that just after returning from Whistler and Oregon, the lands of lumber, we are slated to attend a football game against a team whose mascot is a lumberjack.  How cool!  I had to do something out of the ordinary for it.

First, I googled "lumberjack food" to see if anything would pop up.  I do not know why I even thought it was a bizarre idea . . . within seconds I had everything from Lumberjack Party to Lumberjack Cake to . . . aha!  Lumberjack Sandwiches.

They sounded a little different, so Don and I decided we would try them first.  Bread, a butter/mayo mix, cheddar cheese, apple slices, bacon, and maple syrup.  We followed the instructions, took our first bite, and . . . YUM!  We were surprised by how good they were.

To make sure, we made one for the Gaskills.  They, too, liked them, so the decision was made.  Lumberjack sandwiches.

Then Don had the brilliant idea to take his electric chainsaw with  purple bow on it for the centerpiece.  We let Kip, the tree man, do the honors of placing it on the table when the time came.


Don, Rick, and Christy actually grilled the sandwiches, and many were a little hesitant to try them.  But when all was said and done, we were only left with about three sandwiches (2.5 in reality). . . which is fewer than we expected.  I would say it was a great day!

Lumberjack Sandwiches

1T. softened butter mixed with 1 t. mayonnaise/sandwich
1.5 slices cooked bacon
three thin slices of Granny Smith apple
two slices of cheddar cheese
two slices of bread
1 t. maple syrup

1.  Butter one side of each slice of bread with butter mixture.  Place one slice of cheese of the dry side of each slice, and place both, butter side down on a hot griddle or skillet.

2.  Put three slices of apple, bacon, and maple syrup on one slice of bread.

3.  Turn the other slice on top of the sandwich.  Press down to compact and cook.

4.  Flip over to grill the other side.  When done, slice in half and serve.

DELICIOUS!
