Sandwich for Lunch

[Guest guest]

Stopped in a coffee shop/deli today. Was barely

tempted by the ham, chicken, or turkey sandwich

choices. When I saw that they had veggie sandwich, my

mouth watered.

 

I ordered one of those.

 

Then, without asking me, they grilled it. It was not

listed as a cooked veggie sandwich. I told the kid

working there that I wanted my sandwich. He said it

wasn't ready. I repeated that I was ready for it!

 

It would have been better cool and crispy on a hot

summer day.

 

If I ever go there again, I will request that they not

cook it!

you were really tempted by the deli meats?

I find that interesting as I am the opposite.

To me a deli is the worst place for any temptations because the meat is jut

lying there, all next to each other and it looks so unattractive, LOL.

The smell of the BBQ grill turns MY head, but then I think of my yummy veggie

burgers and my veggie kabobs and I am good, knowing that it's not the smell of

the meat that is really tempting me, it's the smell of the spices used on the

meat, and I can have them anytime )

Blessings,

Chanda

Yes, I was tempted. I was tempted by the familiar ease

of slapped together meat. I guess old habits (and the

source of deli slices) die hard. Hey! I'm still

pretty new at this!

 

 

My grandmother would think it's her influence.

Tonight I'm going to have some borscht, with real beet

pieces in it, and a small glob of sour cream on top.

you were tempted by the ease? You mean the thought of the ease of making the

sandwich tempted you? But you were ordering the sandwich to go?

David, I've been a vegetarian for a long time... and I'm still

tempted by the ease of stuff like that. The meat itself holds no

temptation for me, but I wish it were as easy to find veg " meats " or

healthy veggie sandwiches out there!!

I love those too, Chanda.... When you're out or traveling - do you

find those on any menus? And do you see whole grain bread? Rarely,

and forget a sandwhich with some form of vegetarian protein on it...

*sigh*

Tempted by the familiarity, and the ease that goes

with that.
