It's the fifth annual Sandwich Party! We have been eating variations on this sandwich four or five days out of seven since we moved to southern California.
The version you see before you is a little duded up, with those sprigs of cilantro. Occasionally it might instead be topped with a very few slivers of thinly sliced red onion, or slices of tomato. But the basic scheme is:
- Slice of kalamata sourdough bread
- Butter
- Avocado
- A tiny sprinkle of salt
- A drizzle of this here chile oil
That oil is really, really good. (So are these avocados, I tell you what.) I was thinking of making little bottles of it for christmas presents. Is that too weird, do you think? It depends on the recipient, I suppose, as with so many things.
Oh my stars, I must go see if I can round up these ingredients right now.

redfox, this looks so delectable and fresh! And the oil is exactly the kind of Christmas present that would make me squeal. (So, yes, a little weird. But such a nice weird!)
I've started the round-up of sandwiches. So far, you and I are ahead of the pack, but I know lots of people will add their sandwiches before the weekend is out!

Nice work. I'm a huge fan of virtually 100% of those ingredients. Plus the concept of the sandwich.

Dude, you should totally make the bottles of oil for presents. do it do it! The midwest/NE does not have Any idea what is great about CA produce, since the character of each is so different; making it obvious through presents like this is definitely a god plan. If only we could feasibly send people avocados as well.
