Sunday...er...Tuesday! Sandwich

Two rather unique sandwiches for your perusal this week:

Easter Sandwich

Between thin slices of lightly buttered white bread, place a crisp lettuce leaf that has been dipped in mayonnaise dressing. On this place round slices of cold hard-boiled egg. Dust with pepper and salt. Cut sandwiches in squares and tie with lavender baby ribbon.

(This sandwich isn't making big waves until the last line. When's the last time you tied any food item, let alone a sandwich with a lavender ribbon? Have you ever? Has anyone?!?)

Chevy Chase Sandwich

Put six hard-boiled eggs through a potato ricer. To these add six sweet pickles, chopped fine, a dash of salt and white pepper, and two teaspoonfuls of melted butter; mix and place between thin slices of lightly buttered white bread.

(Does anyone have a clue why this is called a Chevy Chase Sandwich? I was wondering if there was some obscure movie reference I was missing...until I remembered that the copyright of this book is 1909...so nope, not a movie reference!)
