eat that up, it's good for you

I like sandwiches.  Often my lunch at work is a sandwich.  I do not like pre-made sandwiches that have been sitting in the fridge for hours, which is the reason I bring all the ingredients for a sandwich to work and make it fresh.  I have been doing this for years.

When I first started, I tended to buy cheap bread and cheap turkey and then would complain to myself that the sandwiches I made never tasted as good as the ones I get at a restaurant.  Being a thinker, I thought about why my sandwiches sucked and I came to the conclusion that it wasn't the sandwich's fault. The sandwich was only as good as the stuff that made it and that stuff was cheap crap.

The solution to this terrible problem was simple, buy good stuff to make good sandwiches.  Now, I would say my sandwiches are awesome!  Ciabatta bread, roasted turkey, swiss, bell peppers, romaine lettuce, mayo, mustard, and maybe an avocado.  If I ever need to make a few bucks on the side I could sell my sandwiches to my coworkers.



Good Directions Life Lesson:  Life is too short to eat cheap crap turkey.

Is that Jennie-O sundried tomato? Or cranberry and sage? When it comes to a deli-type sandwich, the rubbed Jennie-O turkey slices. If you're feeling adventurous one fine day, I recommend a muffaletta. It's one of our favorite summer dinner or lunch around here. I make mine meatless, though, and use goat cheese as the condiment and ciabatta rolls as the bread. I learned to make them at the Museum of Art Cafe at BYU. They are seriously delicious. If I cared for olive tapenade, that would be even better.
