  1. yay! First I have to say that my 6-yr old daughter raved about this and is letting me pack the leftovers for her school lunch. Just for that it gets 5 stars!!<br/>I had to make a few substitutions, for the pimiento and the pickles I substituted green olives. I think it worked well but would be willing to try the pickles in the future. I used a small amount (between 1/4 and 1/3 cup) of red onions but in the future hubby would like me to leave them out unless sweet onions are in season. They weren't bad in the initial flavor but left an oniony aftertaste. Rather than making tea sandwhiches I made a traditional two faced sandwhich for a dinner to go. My daughter is excited to use these for a tea someday if we throw one for her friends. Reviewed for Bargain Basement tag game.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I’m a former interior designer and landscape designer. At the moment I get to enjoy being at home and working only when I want to. I like rollerblading, hiking, backpacking and trips to the ocean. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and moved to the Northwest when I was thirty, over twenty years ago. I’m afraid they’ll have to bury me here in WA. This is God’s country and I’m never leaving. I have a smallish collection of cookbooks, preferring to use the library and a copy machine. Among my favorites though, are: Recipes 1-2-3, by Rozanne Gold, a collection of recipes containing no more than 3 ingredients (excepting water, salt and pepper); A Treasury of Great Recipes, by Mary and Vincent Price, recipes collected from friends and chefs of great restaurants around the world; The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, by Nancy Harmon Jenkins, about a collection of cuisines I’m convinced are the healthiest in the world and The Low-Calorie Gourmet, by Pierre Franey. Currently my passions are our dogs, the garden, cooking, the natural world and of course, Dh. I can now add Zaar to that list of passions (translate: addiction). We have three dogs, two rescued and one adopted. They are Sugarpea, a Golden Retriever, Chickpea, a Llasa Apso and Sweetpea, a Shih Tzu; small, medium and large. We’re quite a sight out on the trail. One of the things I am most fond of about living here is the ability to vegetable garden year ‘round.
