My lunch today is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a grapefruit. Can’t wait.
As I made my sandwich, I faced that quandary, toasted or untoasted bread. I generally like my sandwiches on toast. It keeps them from getting soggy, a firewall against the chicken salad or mayo. I like the crunch followed by the savory flavor. But not with peanut butter and jelly! I like the way the elements soak into one another and mold themselves against a book in my backpack, and when I’m eating it, I don’t like to have to get past the crunch, I like the sweet soggy integration.
