Dinner Tonight - The Almost Perfect Meal

Today's dinner is almost perfect. It is healthy, it is fun and it is easy.

We are making build-your-own submarine sandwiches. Darling Husband stopped and picked up stuff on the way home. It took me five minutes to lay out the several types of meats, slice the two types of cheese, the tomatoes, the cukes and put out the mayo, mustard, butter and sub sauce (aka my Hellmann's Zesty Italian Spritzer).

Each of us (including my Wee boy that just turned four) built our own sandwich and when presented with all the colourful choices, the kids will add veggies to their sandwich because it's colourful, because it's there and because they can use it to pile their sandwich extra high.

Prep was minimal, fuss was minimal and cleanup is going to be minimal as well. And, taste factor was maximized as we all got to pick what we wanted on our fresh, piled high sandwiches. The only thing that stopped this from being an absolutely perfect instead of almost perfect meal is the clean up factors as buying paper plates would've made it 100% perfect.
