Sparkle Kitchen: Sandwich on a Stick
Did you know that in the At Home with Martin & Sylvia story "Sticks," everything brother and sister do needs to follow one rule: it must involve sticks.
After several minutes Momma finally came outside with a big tray. Sylvia called, “What is the lunch?”
“Sandwich sticks,” said Momma proudly as she entered the forest. Martin and Sylvia came out of their stick house to investigate.
“What is a sandwich stick?” asked Martin with a smile. He peeked in the tray.
Momma demonstrated, “Sandwiches on a stick – see? Here is the bread, the meat, the vegetables – and you can squirt the mustard over the top.”
Brother and sister investigated, and sure enough, there were all the ingredients of sandwiches but skewered on a thin stick – like a kabob. They laughed and licked their lips.
In honor of Martin and Sylvia, we were inspired to take an everyday lunch and turn it into a stick-full and fun meal.
