He would happily pile anything between two pieces of bread, add some peanut butter, and call it good. I recall a sandwich he made for me once that included, among other things, peanut butter, walnuts, prunes and salad dressing. As a child, I was horrified by many of his creations, but I did develop a taste for peanut butter with just about anything. (One of my favorite sandwiches remains peanut butter, salami, and pickles&#8230; really good.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m proud to say that Griffin has inherited the sandwich gene. Up at the yellow cabin on Saturday, he gleefully requested the following ingredients: peanut butter, jelly, cheese (he wanted four varieties, but volume considerations dictated fewer), roast chicken, salami, pickles, and wheat thins. Upon tasting the result, he declared that it was &#8220;the goodest sandwich in the whole world!&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2372\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2372\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120736_071.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2372 \" alt=\"Griffin's Sandwich\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120736_071.jpg?w=400&#038;ssl=1\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120736_071.jpg?resize=1024%2C680&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120736_071.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120736_071.jpg?w=948&amp;ssl=1 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120736_071.jpg?w=1422&amp;ssl=1 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Griffin&#8217;s request: peanut butter, jelly, cheese, roast chicken, salami, pickles, and wheat thins<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2373\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2373\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120832_073a.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2373 \" alt=\"Goodest Sandwich\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120832_073a.jpg?w=400&#038;ssl=1\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120832_073a.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120832_073a.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120832_073a.jpg?w=948&amp;ssl=1 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stoccoroy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130706_120832_073a.jpg?w=1422&amp;ssl=1 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;The goodest sandwich in the whole world!&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Griffin&#8217;s great-grandfather was a legendary sandwich maker.
