I made a sandwich on a Hoagie roll but was unable to eat it as it all slid
and fell apart. Am starting to think that the Just Mayo is not good to use
on sandwiches. What I had was a mess on a plate that I had to cut up with a
knife and fork.

I gave my husband some of that farro salad with the cherries in it but it
came back to the kitchen uneaten.

Honestly, I have no idea why you have so many problems with a simple
sandwich. I use the Just Mayo for sandwiches only... in fact, I coat
both slices of bread with it and have *never* had an issue like yours.
Look at your other physical issues, like arthritis. Maybe you apply
too much pressure just trying to grasp it, which would explain why
they fall apart or the contents slide out.

Although I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, it certainly isn't
flaring and I have no issues with my hands. And I don't squish things when
I eat them.

What kind of hoagie roll doesn't have egg or dairy?

Never had one that does. Flour, water,yeast, salt. Good hoagie rolls
are about the same as Italian bread

I'm starting to think that the basic physics of filled rolls and
sandwich structure are just too complex for your level of hand to mouth
co-ordination

Yes. Although some of those and some Italian bread does have milk. Have
never seen eggs. I do have to check every label every time though.

Nope. Although I do have the tendency to overfill.

It came back to the kitchen... sounds like someone returning a bad meal
in a restaurant. That attitude would never fly in my house.

I do everything you say not to do, but I don't have problems - so over
filling might be the issue, not the bread.

I've never had a problem with sandwiches either, even when using lettuce in
place of the bread.

He may well have eaten it given other circumstances. What he failed to tell
me was that he has an abscessed tooth. I remember when I had one, chewing
was excruciating and farro is quite chewy. I didn't eat much at all for two
months while waiting for my root canal. Mainly soup. mashed potatoes,
refried beans, soft stuff like that. He won't have to wait that long. His
will be done later this week. I just wish I had known of this before I
bothered to make the salad.

I have a pot of chili on the stove now. I also have plenty of canned soups
and some canned chicken and dumplings which might not be super tasty but
they are soft. I got them back when I was laid up on the couch thinking
that Angela could just nuke them.

Ah... I did put the mayo on both sides. I guess making a sandwich should
be something everyone would know how to do. But we didn't eat many
sandwiches when I was growing up so nobody ever showed me how to make one.

I think I finally managed to restrain myself on pizza. I have the tendency
to put too many toppings or too much cheese on those. Had to finally
realize that less is better.

I had major problems with the lettuce wraps. I asked a Jimmy John's owner
how they did it. Only after I saw their lettuce did I realize what the
problem was. They were using HUGE heads! Far larger than the ones I could
get at the grocery store. I did finally manage to get a few that worked by
using some sandwich papers of which I now have a lifetime supply.

I even manage to screw up burgers. I love the lettuce, tomato and onion and
wind up with so much of that on there that if I could even get my hands
around the end result, it wouldn't go in my mouth. So I just throw it all on
a plate and cut it up.

I manage to keep the ones I make for my husband together only by using
decorative pics. And then I hear him scream something to the effect of...
OMG! How am I supposed to eat this? Angela seems to do a much better job
than I do at these sorts of things. She isn't into the veggies like I am so
either leaves them off or only uses a token amount.

I hope I got all those quoted properly.
The only time I have that sliding problem is when eating a hogie/sub
sandwich and Julie did use a hogie roll too. I think it's true that
over filling is the issue.

I make them using a loaf of italian bread and I do load them up.
Between all the filling and the fact that the bread has a firmer
crust, I'll get that sliding out of the end effect. Way to solve is to
tightly hold the very end of the bread together with one hand while
biting into it. That will prevent everything from sliding.

I guess she didn't. How *did* they manage to eat when you were in the
hospital and then laid up unable to walk?

I just made another one. No bacon or onion. It didn't slide. But I wanted
the bacon and onion!

His family is that way. For some reason they like to keep medical problems
hidden.

She didn't need to use them. They managed just fine. As I said, I ordered
food from Amazon Fresh or Safeway to be delivered. I had one pizza delivery
and two Chinese food deliveries. Amazon Fresh delivers restaurant meals
from some Seattle restaurants. They only require heating.

They ate a lot of things like cottage cheese and fruit that don't require
cooking. She used the microwave pasta cooker that I bought. She was able
to figure it out and seemed to like making the pasta that way. Also got a
rice cooker but she didn't try that.

They both love hummus with raw veggies. They ate that too. And she loves
tossed salads. He will eat small salads but he needs more than just a salad
for a meal.

We were eating a lot of vegetables during that time. I would have her do
potatoes in the microwave and make a lot at a time. They were then wrapped
in foil and we had some to eat for several days. Also lots of canned beans.
We all like those too.

Alas I have not found a cooked chicken that she likes. She loves what I
make and although it is dead easy to make, she has no interest. She has
done steak a few times. I think she is starting to like steak more than she
likes chicken.

He doesn't have to tell the world about it, but you're his *wife*. All
he had to do was say "my tooth aches, please make something soft".
Again, don't you talk to each other?!

Sounds like they'd rather have heat & eat, pre-prepared meals than
bother to do anything for themselves. Maybe you should give Schwan's a
call. http://www.schwans.com/

They even cater to special dietary needs such as low gluten. Then just
teach them how to use the microwave.

He said nothing about a toothache and in fact I had to drag it out of him
that he was having a root canal. He has been having a lot of issues that I
think are related to this but I didn't know it. I only discovered that by
doing a search. Not gonna get into that here in detail but it was presumed
to be sinus issues. Apparently there is no one thing that applies to
abcessed teeth.

The first one I had was excruiating. But then I had another that went
undiagnosed for many months. I had an accident in our storage room in NY.
Am emtpy (but heavy) computer box fell and struck me on the cheek. There
was immediate pain although not excrutiating. Just annoying. I had a
dentist appointment the following day. She told me it was nothing but also
refused to take an X Ray. Wasn't until we moved here that I finally figured
it out. I kept getting treated for an ear infection and would feel better
while on the antibiotic. But once I took the whole bottle, the pain began
again.

I mentioned this to my new dentist who was finally able to suss out the
infection but only after taking more X Rays that normal and from different
angles.

The whole area of the teeth, sinuses and the ears are very much connected
and it is easy to mistake one thing for another. Which is likely why he did
not know that he had the abcess. He had been barking up the wrong tree
there, going to Drs. instead of the dentist. I don't think he even knew of
the abcess when I gave him that salad.

Uh, no. Although Scwans had a few things in the past that were good, if you
look at their website, most now do not get good reviews. Plus that stuff is
frozen. I no longer have my big freezer and Angela won't eat frozen stuff.
I don't blame her. It's nasty. Well most of it anyway...

Low gluten? What in the hell is that? Nobody in their right mind would eat
that. You can either have gluten or you can't. And I don't think Schwans
does special diet stuff. If they do it is a very new thing. I do regularly
check their website to see if anything has changed.

I did buy perhaps 3-4 of their things some 20 years ago. Their pierogies
were not as good as Mrs. T's. The breakfast item that I bought (no longer
available) was good. The other things got wolfed down by my BILs and some
of their friends so I can only assume they were good. I just happened to be
at my BIL and SIL's house when the Scwans guy came by and he had some extra
things available for immediate sale. We were staying at their cabin and
only had access to a microwave and a fridge. So I thought I would try them.

Since then, they have had too many recalls for my liking. But I still check
their website. Mainly when I am bored.

I agree about too much filling. Some of those sandwiches they make on TV are
pretty much for show and not for consumption by a normal mouth, though a
couple here might not have a problem. ;-)

Pull out part of the crumb to create a bit of a hollow, and don't use
mayo. Another trick delis use is to poke the sub with a couple of
those frilly topped toothpics.

There was nothing on TV last night so for about 30 minutes I tuned in to
'Diners, Drivin's and Dives'. Guy Fieri. OMG, who eats sandwiches that
big? No one. Those huge burgers and sandwiches are just for the show.
Really.

Next time, add anything you want to add. Just hold the end tight as
you bite...this will keep all inside from sliding out.

PS - Julie...you mentioned you like Diet Coke with Lime the other day.
I'd never tried it so I bought some Saturday. I just opened it today.
It's very good. I like it. Thanks for that.

Very true. Especially many of the "Man vs Food" shows.

At Chili's, I ordered 1/2 of a sandwich, and the thing was huge, it had
a chicken breast, avocado, cheese, bacon and I do not remember what
else. I had to nibble it down, you can not fit a sandwich that size,
into most people's mouths.

When I want to load up my hoagies I pull out some of the bread on the
bottom half making a well to hold everything. It helps to keep
everything between the roll halves.

Last night I had fried chicken. I dump an entire bottle of hot sauce in
a bowl, add some Sriracha and corn starch. The chicken I used was cheap
thighs. I poke the pieces with a fork to help it marinate and let it sit
for a couple of hours. Longer would be better. Then I fry it in a good
amount of oil. No need to dredge in flour, it's already pan ready.

This is how Italian subs were made in NJ. They would slice the
submarine roll then pull out some of the soft bread before putting on
the meats and cheese, etc. This is how I make a sub, too.

Yes. Husband gets the picks in his. I had thought of pulling out the
innards. That is how Subway used to do them.

Nope. Some men eat them. Or try to. Sadly, I have seen it.

Thanks! I tend to eat while on the computer so am not really paying close
