What’s Up Wednesdays: Sugar Sandwiches
July 18th, 2012 by Michael Kwan
First, we have Buzz Bishop with his submission by way of the Babble blogs. He wrote about some of the weirdest sandwiches of all time that also happen to be among the best. My grandma used to make me sugar sandwiches and, as you can imagine, it was one of the greatest meals for a little hyperactive boy. And I’d have to say that banana and Nutella is better than banana and Miracle Whip.
Continuing with the theme of food, we have Stacey Robinsmith and his 100 foot diet. Yes, you read that correctly. He’s providing an update on his “suburban gardening adventures” and he’s doing it with pictures. The Robinsmith family is busy growing potatoes, carrots, beets, leeks, and zucchinis. He’s also planted two rows of bush beans three times, but thus far he’s only yielded a single bean plant. Perseverance and dedication, my friend!
As much as I love eating out, I realize it’s not exactly the most economical choice. Trent Hamm asserts much the same sentiment, reminding us to get comfortable with cooking. It wasn’t that long ago that I didn’t know how to crack an egg and while I’m certainly no master chef today, I think I’ve made some strides.
It’s the product of one of the most hotly anticipated partnerships in recent automotive history. Enkay Blog takes a look at the brand new 2013 Scion FR-S. It’s fundamentally the same as the Subaru BRZ, since Subaru partnered with Toyota on this joint venture. This sporty coupe is the spiritual successor to the legendary AE86 and I think it has lived up to and exceeded expectations. She’s a beauty.
And finally, we have Henri Junttila of Dumb Little Man. He discusses the eight lies you’ve been told about following your passion. No, it’s not going to be obvious and no, it doesn’t necessarily have to make sense. And no, the money will not follow simply because you do what you love. It’s far more complicated than that and the small steps certainly do matter.

Nutella is nothing but SUGAR. Have you read the ingredients? The commercials portray it as a healthy alternative to peanut butter. Add to that the banana and you are getting a sugar on top of sugar sandwich.
At least the first ingredient in PB is peanuts. You are missing out on the Potato Chip and ketchup sandwich Michael. That you have to try. Another one to try is a BBQ spaghetti sandwich. That one will hook you for a long time.
I never said Nutella was healthy; I just said it’s tasty.
While is may be tasty, I resent the company and the advertisers making it out to be healthy. Every time someone mentions the name Nutella, I get the same reaction as when someone mentions Credit Cards.
All things in moderation.
Yeah, my all time sugary sandwich is a “Fluffer Nutter”. Crunchy Peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff. The thing about it though is that they don’t portray the Fluff as healthy. I will give you that Nutella tastes really good, but as you say it has to be in moderation as does everything.
Wow, sugar sandwiches. I had forgotten about completely. My grandma used to make them too when I was a kid. Need to try em out again sometime.
The Scion definitely looks like an interesting car. It reminds me of the Hyundai Veloster which a friend of mine bought recently and is quite happy with.

Already I had sugar sandwiches and I like this very much. Every children’s love this sugar sandwiches and am also. Thanks for sharing with us.
Not every child likes sugar. On top of that it is very unhealthy to feed them something like a sugar sandwich. As a diabetic, I explain about sugar and health to my kids. I really don’t have to because they like natural fruits, raw vegetables and just a little of the sweets as a treat.
If I fed my children a sugar sandwich or even Nutella, which is actually sugar with coloring, they would spit it out and ask for something healthier.
I always love sugar sandwiches and regularly eat it.
