Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Dijon mustard
1 loaf best-quality sliced whole-grain bread
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup salad dressing
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 loaf best-quality sliced sourdough bread
1/2 pound smoked turkey -- sliced paper-thin
1/2 pound imported Emmenthaler or Jarlsberg -- sliced paper-thin
1 bunch fresh spinach -- stems removed
1 head romaine lettuce -- washed and dried
1/2 pound ham -- sliced paper-thin

To make one sandwich, spread mustard on one side of a slice of whole-grain
bread. Spread salad dressing on one side of a second slice of whole-grain
bread. Combine mayonnaise and basil; spread on both sides of a slice of
sourdough bread. Put a slice of turkey, a slice of cheese, and two spinach
leaves on one whole-grain slice. Top with sourdough bread. Stack a leaf of
romaine and a slice of ham on top of that. Cover with remaining slice of
whole-grain bread. Secure with two bamboo skewers and slice.

Makes 8 double-decker sandwiches.

NOTES : Dagwood Bumstead, of comic strip fame, is known for taking everything
out of the refrigerator and piling it high between slices of bread. This
sandwich is more highly designed, but it's still a double-decker construction
for hearty eaters. Variations are absolutely encouraged. You will need 16
eight-inch bamboo skewers to hold the sandwiches together.
