John baked a seeded sourdough loaf and I made an openface egg sandwich with it, by toasting it and layering it with home made egg salad, with chopped cornichon and shredded romaine, the apple is from a local orchard!

my father loves seafood and the island of Silba rarely sees any but they do have sardines flying in every now and then via local fishing boats that sell it as bait for the large tuna they are rasiing for the Japanese near Zadarhere he is patiently sitting by his new electric grill, tending to them and tmaking sure they get nicely toasted! they were delicious!
