Before I begin this video, I just realized I need a snack
Listen to your body
[schwing!]
I never said I was a pro!
The truth is I needed a snack before making lunch.
So welcome to Smack Yo Lip the series where I taste and or prepare beverages
and or foodstuffs and share my thoughts on them.
Where have I been: editing Evelyn and Friends.
#BabyBlo's in the corner.
BabyBlo: 🎵 yeah yeah!!! 🎵
Yeah I've been editing Evelyn and Friends, been having personal matters
I'm getting dragged by my edges from the north to south to the east to the west
and I have just been living life so
updates Evelyn & Friends is coming soon.
It it it won't come any faster if I don't have lunch.
We're gonna make a sandwich.
One thing about me I'm a sandwich girly.
We're gonna get it going in a very REAL way.
You gotta get some bolillos little baby baguettes they probably have another name
or you can find something similar if you don't have you know I'm saying a Mexican constituency
in your geographical location.
A bag of about four to five of these are gonna be under two dollars
Gotta start off with a good bread. But I don't discriminate right so you can get
your bread from the bakery you can get it from you know what I'm saying what's
her name Minute Maid what's the brand of a bread? What's the brand of bread that's
like uh the factory is in Fort Worth?
BabyBlo: Mrs. Baird's? Mrs. Baird's!!
Bolillo.
Gonna take a serrated knife, and you're just gonna
[struggling] You're just gonna cut your bread.
Not all the way through like to the other side but just so you can open it
and assemble your sandwich.
So now what we're gonna do is we're gonna like scrape some of the inside
We're gonna scrape some of the inside just so that there's more room for our
sandwich fillings. It's giving Jimmy John's.
It's a little Hollow as you can see. Bread crumbs you can eat them you can not eat them.
You're gonna toast your bread okay it's hard to do this one-handed oh
give me a second.
Unfortunately I tore up my bread but that's okay.
You're gonna toast it you're gonna weigh it down so it actually gets crispy
or whatever you got to do on your stove.
This is not my usual stove, we're gonna come back when that's roasty and toasty.
Now while that's toasting, we are going to handle the veggies: the veg.
I personally like a very veg forward sandwich.
I love the contrast of the flavors the crunch the juiciness.
I like a lot of lettuce. I like the contrasting temperatures so you have toasty bread
but like ice cold veg.
So I have chopped up some tomato, some white onion, and I'm about to chop up romaine lettuce
How the lettuce is on your sandwich is in your sandwich is very important.
You don't just wanna -- we don't just do that.
You have to do a little some some. We have to prepare it in such a fashion that it makes sense for the sandwich.
Show yourself a little love, a little TLC.
What you're gonna is you're gonna stack your lettuce leaves
one on top of each other, probably from like biggest or widest to tiniest okay.
Then you're gonna roll it.
I'm gonna roll it.
Sorry - like a little lettuce burrito.
And then you're gonna thinly slice so that it makes little lettuce ribbons little shreds if you will.
[cutting lettuce]
See?
Like this.
I swear to God it tastes better.
Now we're gonna season our veg.
I have some white wine vinegar - any vinegar that you that you like is fine.
Olive oil. Got some olive oil.
Uh, minimal spices minimal spices.
We have just some Airbnb salt, we have some black pepper,
and we have a little bit of garlic powder
Okay I cut it off. It's done toasting.
Lightly lightly drizzle some vinegar.
You could use lemon, lime, just whatever goes with the flavor palette
that you're trying to achieve with your sandwich.
A little bit of olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Then you're just going to mix it with your hands.
Now lettuce lettuce is a soft green so you're not going to need to massage for long you're just trying to get all the
seasoning on all the lettuce, but if you have something
like kale you might be going at it for a while. And I'm gonna do I'm
just gonna put some salt and pepper on my sliced tomatoes.
[cracking pepper]
We're ready to assemble.
I'm a yellow mustard girl so I got some yellow mustard.
I'm I'm a Mayo girly.
Mayo gets a bad rap because people think people are just out here guzzling mayo.
It's an accoutrement.
Shout out to Kewpie mayo, shout out to uh my Japanese - Japanese?
Shout out to my Japanese cousins. We're gonna put some of this on there.
Cheese we're going havarti. Um I had never eaten havarti cheese until I saw um
Kennedy in one of her vlogs well in a lot of her vlogs she be making
sandwiches - she's a fellow sandwich girly.
And she be using havarti cheese and I was like
Ima give that, ima give that a go.
I was typically like a like a mild cheddar type of girl but havarti is delicious.
We're going turkey. Grocery store brand.
Let me know in the comments if you grew up in a household that went to like the shaved deli slices counter
like the deli counter?
I was terrified. I'm terrified.
It makes me nervous.
A way I'm re-parenting myself is I allow myself to have more than one turkey slice
Growing up I always wanted to fold it like they did on TV like in the commercials.
We're assembling.
I think I want to show you come down here - my hands smell like meat.
We're gonna start with lettuce. Then we're gonna put the meat
Come on: two and three!
[feeling gratitude]
Next I'm going to put the cheese
Hit you with a um
hit you hit you with a pepperonchini.
You could do a pickle you could do something *pickled*. It's a pickled pepper.
If you thought dipping my cucumber in the dip earlier was bad watch this:
I'm gonna put some of those on there. It adds um just a bite, a brightness,
a vinegariness, a sourness.
And then we're going to end things off with our tomato.
Do you have an order of operations what's your PEMDAS of sandwiches?
Let me know. I'm willing to learn I'm willing to change.
So this is where we're at.
I'm gonna do one of those do that situation
and then I'm gonna cut it and I'ma show you the cross section.
Here we go.
Let's go!!
Have you a little chippy chip. Let me show y'all the chip selections we got.
We got some salt and vinegar, sour cream and onion, dill pickle.
That's a hint uh Evelyn and Friends episode....I don't remember the episode but
You'll see!
To drink!
Waterloo lemon lime. This is my one of my favorite sparkling waters
let me know if you want a review.
Let's crack her open
and get ready for this bite.
Have some.
Cheers!
It has all the elements that I need. The tang, the crisp, the savory, the salty.
peppery
In junior high I was known for making the little sub sandwiches
really look like something.
Because you got to take your time.
Yes lunch is only 15 minutes when you're in the seventh grade but take your time.
I could turn a Texas Public School sub into into a culinary delight because why?
I deserve.
Thank you so much for watching. Thank you for joining me.
I hope this encourages you to eat lunch.
See you on the internet somewhere
Bye!
