DOWN ON THE FARM - FRIED HAM SANDWICH - LONGMEADOW
I was in the nursing profession many, many, years ago. When the nursing staff was allowed to take a lunch break, I would meander down to our hospital cafeteria and order up one of these sandwiches. Of course, the cafeteria chefs had a special "seasoned grill" that punctuated years and years of cooking delectable delights, the way it used to be cooked, without the use of microwaves, and or already prepared, "boiled - in - the - bag" foods that came from "Sysco". These amazing chefs even had special spatulas that you could easily imagine the pounding and flipping going on, being delicately tossed in the air, as somehow this made the food taste even more spectacular. After paying for the sandwich, I would sit down, and carefully open the wrapper, and inhale the aroma of freshly cut ham, the sweetest, most soft bread that I have ever known, and the mixture of ham juice and a bit of butter that warmed the ham prior to marrying with the bread. Needless to say, I always looked forward to this break, and on the occasion of visiting this hospital even today, I reflect back on those days of good ol' cooking as it used to be, and the delights these very special chefs produced. To this day I still make these at home, occasionally for lunch or a quick dinner. After the cafeteria chefs put this yummy sandwich together they would wrap it in (1) wax paper (2) then aluminum foil. By the time you got to your table, the tastes had developed and probably steamed in the combination of wax paper and foil. Either way, I guess these magical chefs will never be forgotten as this made my day complete, every single day. I hope you enjoy this sandwich as much as I. Try the wax paper and foil too, [if you have time].....you will see what I'm talking about.

FOCACCIA FOR THE LOVE OF IT - LONGMEADOW FARM
Typically, at the end of a long Saturday, after the farm has been put to bed, I bake these little focaccia delights. The bread usually fills the empty pockets of hunger that have made themselves known during the long afternoon. Sometimes I prep the dough the night before, or quite often, just plop the bread and make it pretty quickly. We usually sit around the wood stove, and devour a couple of pieces with some nice warm tea, or a cold beer, depending on how much we broke on the farm during that afternoon. Either way, enjoy, have fun, and always eat well.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, yeast and water in the large bowl of KA mixer or using the dough cycle of bread machine.
- If using bread machine let it go through dough cycle, and pick up from step 5. If using the KA mixer, use the paddle attachment (of KA), slowly mix until the ingredients form a ball about 30 seconds.
- Switch to the dough hook and mix on medium low for another 3 minutes.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes and then mix on medium low for another 3 minutes, until relatively smooth. The dough will be very wet and sticky.
- Put dough on board or counter dusted with a bit of flour.
- Grasp the dough and stretch it to nearly twice its size. Fold it onto itself. Rotate 1/4 turn. Rotate and stretching the dough four times. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil over the dough. (and continue to knead a couple of times).
- Coat a bowl with 1/2 teaspoon oil (large enough to hold the dough when it doubles in size), and put dough in turning it over once. (addendum: the oil is to prevent sticking when in bowl).
- Wrap the dough well with plastic and let dough rise until doubled, or you can refrigerate overnight for a slow rise.
- Cover a 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment and coat the surface with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Slide dough out of bowl, guiding it out of the bowl, onto the center of the pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on top of the dough. Using your fingertips dimple entire surface of dough while gently pushing dough down and out toward edges of pan. Don't be concerned if dough won't reach corners. If dough resists, let it rest for 20 minutes, then continue to dimple and stretch.
- Preheat oven to 475°F Put the pan on a rack to let air circulate around it. Be sure surface of dough is coated with enough olive oil to prevent it from drying out as it rises to about 1-1/2 times its original size and swells to the rim of the pan.
- Just before baking, sprinkle some sea salt over the dough. Put pan in the middle of the oven and reduce heat to 450°. Bake approximately 20 minutes, until golden brown on top and bottom. Remove focaccia from pan and parchment and set on rack to cool.
- Brush last tablespoon of oil, add toppings.

DON'T WANT TO GO TO TOWN FISH SANDWICH LONGMEADOW FARM
The day started out gray and menacing. A slight case of sleet was coming down. And a sneeze too. The farm had decided to take a break today and not bust anything terribly awful. Two tractors were being fixed somewhere up North, so none of us particularly wanted to go to town to grab a sandwich, which; we quite often do on Sunday at lunchtime. In fact, the fire was stoked, we were dry, and sleet is not that fun. At least with snow you can plow, or just make snow forts. So today, I decided to make a nifty sandwich for the two of us to eat, side by side, with our feet facing the wood stove. I wanted to whip together something that you had to lick your fingers because it was just that delicious. Also, I had to have everything on hand, right here at home, remember; we weren't going to town. Of course, make this your own fish sandwich. Add the cheese to the top, instead of the bottom, perhaps jalapeno cheese, use some soft bread, make the tartar sauce low fat, or; just grill some fresh fish, or lightly bread the fresh fish fillet, and bake. You might even add a bit of sliced tomato, or a bit of vegetarian bacon (especially for twissis), a big slice of onion, chopped lettuce, spinach leaves, etc. Whatever you chose, just don't go into town. You don't have to now. NOTE: I am sorry this disappointed the chef by having you adding salt and cayenne pepper. Please, anyone that knows my recipes, if you don't care for any of the items, please don't use them. It's ok by me to make this good for you and your family and to certainly not be wasting food. I am sorry this didn't work for you, but thanks for trying it.

Tips:
- To make sure the ham is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
- For a crispier sandwich, fry the ham in a skillet over medium-high heat until it is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- If you don't have any ham steak, you can use thick-sliced deli ham instead. Just be sure to cook it for a shorter amount of time, so that it doesn't dry out.
- Feel free to add your favorite toppings to the sandwich, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, or onion.
- Serve the sandwich with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.

The Fried Ham Sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a satisfying and flavorful sandwich that the whole family will enjoy.
