There are days when my schedule overwhelms me so. No time to read the newspaper. Lunch is on the go and taken standing up. Even bathroom breaks are next to impossible. On those days I give in to the inevitable. I pick up the phone and order take-out for dinner or I rely on the easy and cheaper solution — sandwiches, soups and salads. There are so many possible choices. Any combination will do. Cold cuts are ideal for sandwiches, from ham to pastrami or roast beef with the obligatory greens. Tuna, hard-boiled eggs or chicken breast with mayonnaise is also great. The very American BLT is another possibility. Let’s not forget a hearty steak sandwich. Actually, bread (sourdough, French, pita, etc.) alone is sometimes good enough to go with the soup.
