"  In one of the strangest quasi-marriage proposals of all time, one man told his girlfriend after she made him a sandwich that she was &amp;quot;300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring.&amp;quot; According to her tell all piece in the New York Post, Stephanie Smith (a page 6 senior editor) ran with her boyfriend&amp;#039;s comment and started an anonymous blog, aptly titled &amp;quot;300 Sandwiches,&amp;quot; where she has been writing about her quest to get that engagement ring. In the article about her experience (as of this week she still had 124 sandwiches to make), Stephanie explains her boyfriend&amp;#039;s love of sandwiches. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ve been up for 15 minutes and you haven&amp;#039;t made me a sandwich,&amp;quot; he&amp;#039;d apparently say to her. She also wrote about her reasoning for starting the blog, &amp;quot;Maybe I needed to show him I could cook to prove that I am wife material. If he wanted 300 sandwiches, I&amp;#039;d give him 300 sandwiches - and I&amp;#039;d blog about it.&amp;quot; After the story initially broke, Stephanie received a lot of negative feedback around the internet for her decision to go through with making the sandwiches. The idea (and her boyfriend) have both been callled sexist and degrading to women. She has since written a follow-up article, published today, called, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a blog, not a &amp;#039;which hunt!&amp;quot; in which she backtracks, calling the whole thing a &amp;quot;lighthearted joke.&amp;quot; Eric was quoted in the latest piece as saying, &amp;quot;300 is a fun, creative project for both of us. We both started from an obviously tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek joke. I find it nothing short of hilarious and kind of sad that so many people missed that!&amp;quot; What do you think of Stephanie&amp;#039;s blog and the backlash after she went public?
