WEATHER REVIEWS

New York City, August 31, 2023

★★★★★ The first morning air through the window was clean and restorative, and it stayed that way. The sound of the breeze rushing through still-thick green leaves held its own against the sirens and construction noise and a yelping dog. Midday's sky was cloudless, with only a faint high haze on the blue. The cat went rigid with avidity at the sight of a mourning dove daring to venture, all ruffled up, to the arm of the more inward chair on the balcony. It was dry enough to wash and hang up the shorts; it was cool enough to think about not wearing shorts. The teen came home from hanging out with friends, in jeans and a t-shirt, declaring he wished he'd been more warmly dressed. Here and there some dogwood fruits were turning red.

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.

SANDWICH RECIPES DEP’T.

WE PRESENT INSTRUCTIONS for the assembly of select sandwiches from Handy Household Hints and Recipes, compiled by Mattie Lee Wehrley. Published in 1916, this book is in the Public Domain and available at archive.org for the delectation of all.

Toasted Cheese on Bread. (My own recipe.)
Butter thin slices of bread and lay on top of each a thin slice of New York cream cheese and toast in oven.

Cracker Sandwich.
Take a saltine cracker and spread snappy cheese and put stuffed olive on top.

Garden Sandwiches
Chop tomatoes and cucumbers in chopper; add enough Philadelphia cream cheese to make a paste and put between thin slices of white bread.

If you decide to prepare and attempt to enjoy a sandwich inspired by this offering, kindly send a picture to us at indignity@indignity.net.
