EoMEoTE#11---The Mother and Child Reunion

Paul Simon's Mother and Child Reunion

No I would not give you false toast
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reu-nion
Is only a sandwich away, oh, little blogger of mine.
I can't for the life of me
Remember a sadder day
I know they say let it be
But it just don't work out that way
And the course of a dishwasher runs
Over and over again

No I would not give you false toast
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reu-nion
Is only a sandwich away, oh, little blogger of mine.

I just can't believe it's so,
and though it seems strange to say
I never been egged so low
In such a mysterious way
And the course of a dishwasher runs
Over and over again

But I would not give you false toast
On this strange and mournful day
When the mother and child reu-nion
Is only a sandwich away,
Oh, oh the mother and child reunion
Is only a sandwich away
Oh the mother and child reu-nion
Is only a sandwich away

It's EoMEoTE time! And fitting with the Seventies-Lyrics theme, I give you The Mother and Child Reunion: Chicken Pan Bagnat. Crusty, rosemary focaccia rolls, sliced down the middle, with the insides scooped out...leaving a shell. Rub garlic over the bread, then brush with olive oil. Top with a nice, leafy lettuce...like Boston. To that add thinly sliced tomato, shredded (roasted) chicken breast (or Veat for me), season with a bit of S&P. Top with thin slices of hard-boiled egg, red onion, and green bell pepper, as well as pitted and sliced black olives. Drizzle with a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, S&P, and thyme. Repeat, place roll top on sandwich, then wrap in foil for ten minutes, to allow the dressing to work though the bread.

Yum! Very filling, and actually quite healthy. We were starving when making this, but I wisely decided to cut the recipe in half. This sucker left us feeling...stuffed.

Oh...if you're wondering about the 'Mother and Child Reunion' part: Paul Simon got the inspiration for this song while looking at a breakfast plate. Chicken & Egg: Mother & Child...get it? Get it??

There's still time to get your entries in...I hope to post the round-up early next week!
