The cucumber is pretty good in sandwiches too!
Any video with Miranda Lambert is always good for me, even if she keeps her clothes on 😉

English ham, cheddar cheese, sliced tomato and cucumber, spread with pickle – can’t beat it!
I’ve not seen her disrobing in a video before. I need to explore further 🤣

Eating is difficult ATM; yesterday’s dental procedure was an ordeal but I can still fantasize about that sandwich combo. Sounds delish!
Good luck with your exploration; check out Pistol Annies while you’re at it. No disrobing that I’m aware of but they’re a hot ticket.

Thanks, Clive. Mouth pain usually recedes quickly; maybe another day or so. The soup is great stuff for the body and the soul; very comforting. ☺️
