Glittering Enchantment

This or That

1. Soup or salad?
I end up having salad, but when I see the steamy bowl of soup, I wish I had made that choice.

2. Hot or cold sandwiches?
Cold.

3. White or whole wheat bread (or rye, etc)?
Anything but white. It's so boring.

4. Pack a lunch for work/school, or buy it?
I'm going cheap right now, so pack it in.

5. If you eat out...fast-food chain, or mom & pop type place?
Usually fast-food, and mainly because there are fewer and fewer mom & pop type places around here anymore.

6. Tuna or chicken salad?
Chicken. Specialty's has a great chicken salad sandwich with apples in it. It's always good. Plus they make their own bread, and the slices are like two inches thick. And they always have cute guys working there. And their brownies are delightful.

7. Cheese: Swiss or cheddar (or American, etc)?
Anything. I simply adore feta, too.

8. Mustard or mayo?
Never mayo. It's disgusting. It makes me gag.

9. Sandwiches: wrap/pita pocket, or regular bread/roll?
Bread is good. Rolls and wraps are for other things, not sandwiches. Plus, when I eat a sandwich on a roll, the contents always seem to be pushed out the back end before I get to them. Maybe it's me.

10. Sweet stuff: cookie/cake or fresh fruit?
I wish I could eat more fruit, but I don't, so I'll say cookies or cakes. I love cookies and cake.

I'm trying to get some time off to drive down to LA later this month. My bosses are being a little stubborn about it. "We need you here as much as possible," they say as they board their 747 to Rome for a week. "Bite me," I reply. "I mean that in the best of ways, of course." So, I've pretty much demanded (as much as I can demand anything) that they give me an extended weekend off.

That's all for now.
