Sandwich Convention!

So I promised my friends that I would blog about Sandwich Convention, so here it is. Maybe we should start a Sandwich Convention Blog where we can post ideas for sandwiches and keep everyone updated on what we eat every Friday at lunch!

So what is Sandwich Convention?
Every Friday, during 1st and 3rd lunches, a group of girls all trade sandwiches. (Those of you who have seen us doing this might be wondering what it is. Now you know.) I'm in the 3rd lunch one. There are 6 of us. We each make a sandwich and then divide it into 6 parts, so we all get 1/6 of 6 different sandwiches. But the sandwiches can't just be normal sandwiches. They have to be creative!

Sample Sandwiches
In the past we've had:
  • Trail Mix Sandwich - peanut butter on whole wheat bread with craisins, cheerios, granola, almonds, and chocolate chips
  • Breakfast Sandwich - lemon poppyseed muffins with cream cheese and strawberries
  • Spaghetti Sandwich - a bagel with marinara sauce, cheese, and spaghetti
  • Taco Sandwich + Noodles - a tortilla with salsa, cheese, and noodles
  • Random Sandwich - a pita pocket with dried mangoes inside topped with chocolate
How long does it last?
We've been doing Sandwich Convention since second semester last year. It's really fun and it makes lunch a little bit more interesting. Plus, school lunch on Friday is never that good. We're going to switch lunches soon (sad) but we hope to continue the tradition in our new lunches!
