BEST SANDWICH YOU EVER DID HAVE

This post doesn't have too much to do with Paris, but I've made this sandwich twice now, and it's a game changer.  Figs are big in Paris, and for a while this fall they were quite cheap, so I tried them and was a fan.  Sadly, now they're as crazy expensive as the tiny box of dutch strawberries.  But I found, and bought, a fig jam.  Problem is, what do you do with fig jam?  So I picked up this super multigrain bread from my favorite boulangerie that leaves a trail of seeds behind as you eat it.  Very Hansel and Gretl.  Then I read something about a sandwich with cream cheese and arugula and beets and smoked salmon, but I wasn't feeling the beets or cream cheese so subbed those out for the fig jam!  It was all very If You Give a Mouse a Cookie... but it's a magical sandwich!  And I'm counting on those Omega 3s to kick in for my final exams the next few weeks.  

So to recap:

* fig jam

* multigrain bread

* smoked salmon

* arugula

Having Dr. Pepper with a sandwich always reminds me of Sundays in Germany, so that's a good thing, too.
