I make a curried egg salad that always gets raves. You make it by boiling a dozen eggs (more for more sandwiches), slicing the eggs, then adding a tablespoon of mayo (just enough to get the texture), then adding curry, salt, and pepper to taste. You can also throw in some chopped celery for crunch, but not necessary.

(ignoring the cumin quickbread portion; it never turned out just right)

When I think tomato and basil, I think "and fresh mozzarella, and a drizzle of good olive oil. Or *good* balsamic vinegar."

Try and find good tomatoes. I don't know where you're located, but this time of year the tomatoes around here are usually like pink styrofoam.

thats exactly what I was thinking, but didnt know if that was "proper" tea sandwich.
Im in Florida, I can get some goooood tomatoes right now
Thanks so much!

Hi! I'm english and that is DEFINITELY not a "proper" English tea sandwich. Try some potted meat sandwiches!!

There's a Martha recipe for what she liked to call "BLTea sanwiches", which was a combination of the following (If I remember right)

-about a 1/2 lb of bacon, cooked and finely chopped
-about a 1/3 a cup of sundried tomatoes, very finely chopped
-about a 1/2 cup of mayonnaise

basically mix it all up, spread a thin layer (I meann seriously thin because of how strong the bacon and sundried tomato are) between slices of crustless white bread topped with boston lettuce.

Cuz everything's better with bacon.

Your right, everything IS better with Bacon! hehe, Thanks so much sounds Yummy!
