The Farmhouse Kitchen: How do you spell sandwich

By Vicki Leach

When I married my sweet hubby, I thought he was the smartest guy I’d ever met. He’s written four books — textbooks — which probably shows how smart he is, but I learned the first year we were married that he had a fatal flaw — he can’t spell worth a toot. I typed his first manuscript, from handwritten notes on yellow legal pads, in chicken scratch that I had to decipher. I’d come across a word, do a double take, shake my head, and confront him.

“Did you MEAN to spell would ‘woul’d?” I’d ask, only to have him argue me down to the point where I’d pull out the Daniel Webster and show him in tiny little letters the error of his ways. Ever tried to tell the smartest man you ever met that ‘sandwitches’ is NOT how you spell that ‘versatile, globally celebrated culinary delight’ we’ve all loved since the 18th century?

Speaking of sandwiches, I hope you enjoy these culinary delights I love to make for my smart man.
