Good morning. I had a beautiful run of Brooklyn sandwiches going, earlier than work, faculty and Easter intervened to ship me again to the kitchen. There was a basic Saigon-style bánh mì from Ba Xuyen in Sundown Park. A colossal roast beef, fried eggplant and mozzarella hero from Defonte’s in Pink Hook, with scorching peppers, gravy and mayonnaise. A ton-katsu sando on pillowy milk bread from Taku Sando in Greenpoint.
These had been all unimaginable. I may eat store-bought sandwiches in Kings County for a dwelling, and I did for a time. (A number of years in the past, I ginned up a recipe for the roast beef hero from Defonte’s.) However at present is Easter, and not likely a day for sandwiches — except they’re ham ones on little potato rolls, with robust mustard, to eat in a aspect yard within the chill whereas kids run round on the lookout for hidden eggs.
Give them to Father, please! (He’ll commerce for goodies.) I wish to make deviled eggs (above) to have fun the vacation puckishly, or possibly an enormous egg salad to serve in lettuce cups. I undoubtedly wish to peel just a few for pickled eggs, cured with beets, vinegar and sugar: lovely pink orbs with a briny, barely candy taste to eat because the week progresses.
