Post Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich aka The Fridge Sandwich

or Fridge-wich if you want to get clever...just don't call it a "sammie" pleeeze! I can't take credit however. I absconded the name from none other than the inimitable Jacques Pépin. On his current show More Fast Food My Way, we made a vegetable soup that he nicknamed Fridge Soup. In a nutshell, pun intended, whatever leftover vegetables were in the fridge went into the pot. C'est tout! That's it! And such was the case with my sandwich. I did my daily dance - open the fridge, then open the freezer, then to the cupboard, chomped down a few Wheat Thins, then back to the fridge repeating a few times - before finally settling on some turkey, a hard-boiled egg, a handful of cornichons, half a green apple - all chopped and into the bowl. Next to the stove I have some olive oil, sea salt, fresh ground pepper and herbs de provence. A tablespoon of mayo, 2 of dijon mustard, a few shakes of raspberry vinegar for a kick. I mixed it all together and spooned it over a thick toasted slice of Acme olive bread and called it a day :) Bon appetit!
