Driving home through the pouring rain this evening, visions of the sandwich I would make for dinner danced through my head. On Sunday I purchased a lovely brown loaf of unsliced bread from the bakery at Safeway, along with Mozzarella, fresh basil, and plum tomatoes. With these ingredients, and some extra-virgin olive oil, I have been making what I imagine to be a close cousin of the sandwich you may have seen advertized at Starbucks everywhere in the past few weeks.
It's quite tasty.
I hadn't made a the sandwich since Monday evening, having dined out the past two nights (Franklins, Chipotle takeout at Chez Farrington). Very enjoyable, but I was looking forward to eating my simple creation in front of Jim Lehrer and the gang.
Imagine my horror, then, when I picked up the bagged loaf to find it covered in furry green mold. And the smell!
My evening is ruined. I made the sandwich anyway, with some stale bread that's been in the fridge for months (really). Not the same at all. Thanks very much, common bread mold.

Often I am not referencing anything; I enjoy being absurd.
Posted by: Brooke at June 14, 2003 09:10 AMI am referencing Pasta Plus, a great Italian place in laurel that makes the sandwich (the Sorrento) that you've described.
