The Second Email We Sent Today, June 18, 2019
Good morning! The first email we send out on a Tuesday is the HMM WEEKLY PREMIUM NEWSLETTER, featuring content provided solely to the members, supporters, and patrons of Hmm Daily. You are on the Hmm Daily mailing list, but if our records are correct, you not among the members, supporters, or patrons, so you do not get the full newsletter experience. (Emphasis ours). We're certainly glad to correspond with you regardless, and will continue to do so as long as you're interested, but if you would like to read the complete HMM WEEKLY PREMIUM NEWSLETTER, please join our paying community. Thank you for your interest, and please spread the word about HMM DAILY DOT COM. We haz YouTube. ***

LETTERS
To newsletter
Bravo on the folk tales, the Jim Cookean contributions and the prose too. These are worth something. A 38-page story book, for children who have been naughty?

RECIPES
We present here for your continued amusement, delectation, and possible degustation a selection of recipes for antique but entirely possible sandwiches, found in The Up-To-Date Sandwich Book: 400 Ways to Make a Sandwich, published in 1909 and now in the public domain for all to enjoy. We have commenced attempts to reproduce these sandwiches over on the HMM DAILY PREMIUM NEWSLETTER, and you are of course invited to subscribe! Enjoy, and if you have made any of these sandwiches, please send a picture to newsletter@hmmdaily.com.
EPICUREAN SANDWICH
Two medium sized tomatoes, three green sweet peppers, and one small onion, chop fine, mix together, salt, and drain in sieve for five minutes. Mix with a little salad dressing and place on a lettuce leaf, between this slices of white or whole wheat bread lightly buttered.
GRILL ROOM OYSTER SANDWICH
Toast three slices of white bread and lightly butter. Place fried oysters between the slices and dust lightly with pepper and sale. Cut in strips and serve on a lettuce leaf. Remove contents of half an orange peel and fill with chili sauce. Serve on a plate with the sandwich.
CAVIARE—LOBSTER SANDWICH
Spread thinly buttered white bread with caviare, season with lemon juice, and on top of this lay a little minced lobster. Cover with another slice of buttered bread and place on lettuce leaf.
