I’ve been terrible about packing my lunch lately. We have a full kitchen here at work so what I decided to do is buy groceries and prepare my lunches here. I get an hour long break for lunch so I have plenty of time for it.

I go wild over a well made deli sandwich, and that is something you must eat fresh. You can’t fix the sandwich in the morning and expect it to hold it’s integrity until lunchtime. Now I’m not a total snob when it comes to the ingredients, but I like my meat and cheese to come straight from the deli. (Did you know that cheese sliced fresh from the deli counter is generally cheaper than the pre-sliced fancy packaged stuff?)

Can I tell you about the delicious sandwich I made? Wheat bread (sweetened with molasses only, no high fructose corn syrup), green leaf lettuce, sliced tomatoes, ham, and provolone, mayo (not Miracle Whip), and horseradish mustard. Two years ago you couldn’t have paid me to eat anything with horseradish and four years ago I wouldn’t go near any sort of mustard. But I have since seen the error of my ways. The horseradish mustard totally makes the sandwich!

I think I’m going to go make myself another one…
