"Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth I used to go to a neighborhood restaurant in Sea Girt NJ called Everybody's Cafe. They made a few dishes that were spectacular and their version of a turkey sandwich was wonderful. I tried to duplicate it and over the years and came up with this version."

ingredients

1 pita pocket
4 ounces turkey breast (real, not formed lunchmeat)
2 lettuce leaves, Romaine (ribs removed)
1 ounce swiss cheese, thinly sliced
2 carrot curls
2 slices cucumbers
2 olives, ripe
2 stuffed green olives
1 ounce green goddess salad dressing (green goddess or avocado)
OPTIONAL
sliced avocado (optional)
1 slice lime (optional)

directions

Cut the top third off of the pita and fill with lettuce, turkey, cheese, and cucumber.
Garnish with the carrot curls, olives, lime and avocado. Serve dressing on the side.
NOTE: To make carrot curls you should thinly slice a pared carrot lenghtwise (use a V-slicer or mandoline) and chill in a bowl of ice water to make it curl. If you have a stubborn carrot you can help it curl by winding the strip up and securing it with a toothpick. Do this the night before so you get a very pretty curl.

Hello Zaars and Zaarinas! Thank all of you who tried my 'memory' recipes and left such nice reviews and for taking such lovely pictures. I do appreciate your comments. My pet peeves about cooking are recipe reviews where the reviewer says, "I made the recipe exactly as written EXCEPT yada yada yada" and I don't like suggestive names or titles such as, "Better Than Sex". I don't know why anyone would eat anything that is 'sinful' or 'decadent' since decadent is described as being decaying. Also, PAP-RI-KA only has 3 syllables. VINAIGRETTE is pronounced vin-a-grette, not vinager-ette. It's mas-car-pone not mars-ca-pone. And I don't like cutesy adult baby talk,,, or metro chic names like delish, nutrish, yummo, sammy, BAM! Oh well, I make as many, or more, faux pas as the next guy especially in ASL! Things that crack me up are: DH Fred from youtube.com Nick, my nephew Fish and Poi song as performed by PoiBoi My possum recipe per the song on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVvL4-srt6U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpbyM8k7e2Q wow this is good! my Doggie Little Yellow Petey Bird on youtube My BFF's. all of them and there are so many! and my little Sister Mary Beth. She has MS and Lupus and a great attitude. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
