my kind of lunch

I attended a "carry in" lunch today with the other ladies in my book club.  I'm happy to say that everyone seemed to like the salad I brought and even asked for the recipe. Most of the women brought salads or desserts, all very good, but the hit of the lunch as far as I'm concerned, were the peanut butter sandwiches.  I frequently make myself peanut butter sandwiches for my at home lunches but not as special as these. Some were on cinnamon bread and some on raisin bread and all were filled with peanut butter, thinly sliced Granny Smith apples and bacon bits, yummm. Sounds simple but they were the hit of the day.
She had trimmed the crusts off so they were very neat but I was reminded of a conversation I had recently with a friend.  Did your mother ever say to you "Eat your crusts. They'll make your hair curly."? We debated whether our moms meant bread crusts or pie crusts. My mom definitely meant bread crusts but my friend thought her mom was referring to pie crusts.  Honestly I can't remember ever being unwilling to eat my pie crust. But then I've seldom met a food I wouldn't eat, except maybe tomato soup - but that's another story.
