HA! That was fun. Thank you for this trip down my childhood culinary experience. My mom, however, occasionaly found a few extra pieces of roast beef, Sunday's dinner, that didn't find a home in dad's sandwich. So I got it. YUM! And sometimes, when dad's tomatoes ripened and we had to eat the harvest, I got a tomato and mayo sandwich ... wrapped in ... yeah you guessed it ... waxed paper. YUCK! Actually, that sandwich was great after the soggy paper was peeled away.
You are so welcome, and thank you for reading my story. My dad grew tomatoes too! We would pick them off the vine and eat them on the spot, in Soquel, CA. No mayo though! These days…a good BLT is the best! Thanks again!
P.S. I don’t think they even make wax paper sandwich bags anymore.
They don't make the bags, but they still make wax paper. There are other uses for it than wrapping tomato mayo sandwiches. Lots of kid crafts might use them, like layering autumn leaves between two sheets and ironing them to melt the wax a bit. Then framing them to it becomes like a stained-glass window. My MIL did that using sheets of acrylic and installed it in a light fixture. Really cool.
