I love the story! And I'm sure the sandwiches were delicious: the kind of thing I'd pick up at a good roadside stop, but made with much, much, much more love.
I hope you'll indulge yourself with the hard-cooked egg and slice of cheese on bread, at least for yourself (and post it in the Breakfast topic). Just because some of us looked askance at the idea doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad idea. Without reviewing the responses, I'm pretty sure that everyone (including me) who answered with a "nix, nyet, no" is a Northerner. If you're nostalgic for it, you may have lots of company in your neck of the woods.
