If nothing else, this pandemic has given me the opportunity to be at home for an extended period of time and with that, it's given me the chance to teach Sam how to make his own lunches.
Like a lot of things, this has been kind of a slow, step-by-step process.
"Making Our Own Lunch 101" began in the early months of this semi-self-quarantine and over the months that followed, Sam and I covered different types of bread options, including toasted or not toasted. We covered wraps and bagels. We covered peanut butter sandwiches with various jelly and jam options. We covered sliced turkey sandwiches with various toppings, such as cheese, onions, Italian seasoning, spinach, tomatoes ... and more.
Over these past few months, Sam has done a great job.
It gives me a a lot of satisfaction to see him get up at lunchtime and, with hardly a word, go into the kitchen to fix his own sandwich. I have no problem making a lunch for him but I like that he can be a little more independent - and I think he likes it, too.
The photo above is a sandwich Sam made for himself the other day. It's turkey on an onion bagel, with cheese, spinach, onions and tomatoes. A fairly typical representation of his lunches lately. And best of all, there was no input from me.
