In Search of the Perfect Ham Sandwich

As a connoisseur of food network programming, I've noticed that many of the shows don't truly make it accessible to a young adult such as myself. I find even their so-called twenty minute meals daunting. Let's face it: many of us are stuck eating cold cereal and fast food lunches. One thing that does vex me is that I find the art of the sandwich has never been elaborated upon in an accessible fashion. Therefore, I feel it is my duty to publicize my own lifelong experience in this area.

I hereby challenge myself to make my perfect ham sandwich. I will admit that a ham sandwich is really not my thing. Even though I have previously honed my hamming skills to sandwich perfection, I haven't actually had one to eat in a really long time.

But enough banter! I shall seize upon this opportunity to share my decades of experience with a new generation of lunchboxers.
