Grilled veggie sandwich with roasted red pepper mayo

I suppose I might as well introduce him now since he is my child and all. This is Wilson. He likes long walks in the park, giving hugs, and eating everything besides cucumbers and bananas. He has also become my running buddy. He runs like a high-school freshman cross-country runner. He sprints out ahead for the first quarter…
