Hungry?

The franchise that owns the Subway where I'm currently working allows employees to eat free food during their shift (within certain limits).  So I have been eating a lot of Subway lately.  Since I've had the chance to do a bit of experimentation, I thought I'd list some of my current faves.  These are all on 6-inch, and I usually just pick a bread flavor that already has a 6-inch cut.  If there isn't one, then I go with my mood and the sandwich I'm selecting.  So the bread recommendation here is what I would pick if I weren't being lazy.  :-)  

Meatball Marinara - Italian (white) or Italian Herb and Cheese or Parmigiana Oregano.
Meatballs (duh), light sauce, usually Mozzarella or shredded Cheddar/Monterey Jack. Toast it, then add spinach leaves, tomato, green pepper and depending on mood, jalapeno peppers.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano and parmigiana.  (Depending on my mood, I may have this one with just the sauce and spices.)

BLT - Any bread is good with this.  If I'm feeling really reckless, I pay for double meat. Usually, I get either Pepper Jack cheese or Provolone. Toast it, then add spinach, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, pickle, banana pepper, sweet pepper and jalapeno pepper.  Add just one line each of light mayo and yellow mustard, then a fair amount of oil and vinegar.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano and parmigiana.

Steak and Cheese (not the Philly - too much meat all at once). Italian or Italian Herb and Cheese bread and usually Provolone cheese. Toast it a few seconds extra, then add light mayo, oil and vinegar (on the meat side). Then sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, and parmigiana.

Buffalo Chicken (I occasionally get this one as a salad instead.) I like this almost exclusively on Italian with Pepper Jack cheese.  Toast it a few seconds extra, then add a little ranch dressing, banana peppers and jalapeno peppers. If having it as a salad, use spinach, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, banana peppers and jalapeno peppers.

Smart Car Nose Hair

Many of my friends are well aware that I think the Smart Car looks like a nose without a face. So you can imagine my reaction today when I was leaving the Walmart parking lot and saw the car next to me - a Smart Car on which the owner had installed a set of eyelashes over the headlights. If the car looks like a nose without a face, the eyelashes automatically translated in my mind to nose hair sticking out of the nostrils. That's some serious nose hair.

Night Light

It was my turn to close last night, and when I came home I had one of those moments. When I got out of the car and looked at the sky, I felt such a wonderful peace. And the night sounds reflected that peace - the occasional chirrup of a sleeping bird, frogs and crickets. Just the big moonlit and starlit sky and a few fireflies in the trees. I felt like I could actually breathe peace. I really needed that. It was the closest I've been (internally) to how I always felt on the Cape in a long, long time.
