Sandwiches can be simple or complex, and they can be a good starting point for children. My five-year-old son helped last night in fixing BLTS for supper. He really did a large part of making them himself.
Bread: my husband uses a bread machine to keep us in very good bread. This particular loaf got a bit mangled, so it made for some odd-shaped pieces and awkward shaped sandwiches. Nevertheless they tasted good!
Bacon: we used some thick-cut bacon and broke it in little pieces, because it can be hard to keep bacon *in* a BLT. I supervised while Joshua was able to turn the bacon while it cooked in the skillet.
Lettuce- flat pieces of lettuce went on the bread first.
Tomatoes- I cut the tomatoes in half and then cut off a little slice so it would sit flat on the cutting board. AFter that, Joshua was able to slice them the rest of the way.
When all was said and done, as simple a meal as the sandwiches were, they were very good. I was glad that we could say that Joshua got at least half of the credit for fixing them!
