I know the bitch cuts the crusts off, too.

Which brand do you buy? (if you don't mind me asking). I can't find any that doesn't have it.

Spread each slice of bread with a tablespoon of Vegenaise or mayonnaise, sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper. Layer the bacon, tomato, avocado and lettuce on four slices of the bread and then sandwich with the remaining four. Cut each sandwich in half and serve."
Wow...

News | Gwyneth Paltrow makes a sandwich | Holy Moly!

Are we talking a diagonal cut? And does it matter which order we layer the bacon, tomato, avacado and lettuce? Iceberg, green leaf or romaine? What kind of knife is she using? I'm no dummy, but I'm certainly no Paltrow. She can't assume that we can figure out these kinds of details on our own.

^^Damn, I was just about to go and attempt this deceptively simple recipe and now you've ruined it for me with all these questions. I'm going to write fishsticks right now and ask her to clarify.

I hope she's going to have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich recipe soon. I'm waiting impatiently.

buttmunch · June 27th, 2009, 03:44 AM

She's still trying to decide on the best non-sugar jelly and the best organic PB. And what sort of bread? It could be weeks, nay MONTHS before she makes those crucial decisions.

I'm laughing visualizing Gwennie showing us how to make a sandwich.

buttmunch · June 27th, 2009, 03:50 AM

Great. Now I have an image of her smug mug in my head. Thanks. I'll carry that with me all night.

I can't wait around all month. If she doesn't figure it out soon I'm going to have to go back to watching that Iron Chef show. Granted, it may be peanut butter and jelly and sea urchins but at least I'll have a damn recipe.

^^Remember to make it all at neck-breaking speed, using a large cleaver, while speaking Japanese with a really bad voice over. It shouldn't be too difficult.

She's so pretentious it makes me ill.

'Goop' on you Gwyneth.

PrettyGirl · June 27th, 2009, 05:36 AM

Where did she get this sudden interest in cooking and jumping on this whole chef thing? She teamed up with Mario Batalli for something recently and now she's giving sandwich recipes? All this came out of left field if you ask me.

This reminds me of the time when Kiera Knightley wanted to be a stock broker.

Is she going to tell us to wear rubberised boots to keep the wet out? Tell us how to knit a jumper(sweater to you americans) that buttons up the front next? Or is it just putting some meat on a slice of bread when we're too busy to eat because we're gambling???
