The Stan-wich

Are you an adventurous foodie, or do you tend to play it safe?  My husband Stan, comes from a long line of adventurous foodies.  The creation of the "Stan-wich" actually began when his father and uncle were faced with a culinary disaster.

Like any great adventure, this one begins long ago and far away, Des Moines, Iowa  in the late 1960's to be exact; you know a lot of strange things happened at that time. A Lactose Jedi and his young apprentice, (some people just call them Milk Men) were out for a long day of dairy deliveries.
They had stowed their survival provisions on ice, which consisted of  bread, cotto salami,  and brown spicy mustard. Stacked top of their hearty lunch was a meager breakfast of store bought cinnamon rolls.  Little did they know, as they set out to satisfy the thirsty masses, tragedy was about to ensue.

Out in the middle of nowhere, hungry from a grueling morning of heavy lifting, our two hero's pulled over only to discover that the bread for their sandwiches had become soggy.  Without a grocery store in site, necessity became the mother of invention.  In place of the soggy bread, the cinnamon roll became the foundation for a new and exciting culinary creation.

This sweet and savory sandwich has been a guarded family secret for nearly four generations,  so secret in fact, that it didn't have a name until my husband made it part of an on air fundraiser for the Passion Radio Network.
Our guest host Bill Scott, broke out his man card, stepped up to the plate and consumed this gastronomic delight.  It was love at first bite for Bill.  Almost without thinking the name "Stan-wich" rolled off of his lips, and the vision for making this marvelous morsel a household staple was born. 
We promised the listeners of the Passion Radio Network, that we would post the recipe on my blog, so here it is!
