Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #68 - Pauper's Sardine Sandwich

Ok everyone, just in case you still don't know, I became a billionaire overnight last week, and made wonderful plans about how I was going to spend all that money.

So I had a long list - Many of my family and friends would benefit and I was going to hit the shops and spend spend spend! Travel plans to weird and wonderful destinations definitely were on the cards!

But then reality hit as my Steemit wallet was squandered by some unknown entity and I was a pauper again!

So now what were we going to eat as I had spent every last cent in anticipation of all these billions coming to me...wink wink wink...?
The refrigerator was bare...the pantry had been stripped and all I could find was a tiny little can of lightly smoked Scottish Sild Sardines, some Flour and Yeast, one Tomato, some Mayo and Spring Onions growing in my herb garden :)
So I quickly kneaded some bread dough to make lovely fresh buns with a sprinkling of Chia Seeds on top.

I will tell you a little about my Sardine love story - when I was pregnant with my first baby, I could not get enough of Sardines, Tomatoes & Onion Sandwiches. Hubby had to drive around one night trying to find Sardines at late night cafes as I had run out, and he did this without complaining.
Many expectant mothers will know from experience, a woman expecting her first baby is treated like porcelain by the fathers-to-be and us womenfolk are crafty and let them believe that we indeed have to be coddled :)
But come the second pregnancy and they know for sure they'd been hoodwinked and you can forget about being treated with kid gloves!

Back to today and how I made my Sardine Sandwich now that I'm no longer an overnight tycoon.

I still love Sardines, they're good for us as well - loaded with Omega 3 fatty acids which help prevent heart disease due to their anti-inflammatory properties, excellent source of Vitamin B12, Calcium and Protein, so make sure you keep a couple of those little cans in your pantry!
