Sandwiches!

[RoyBiggins]

wait a minute... is it still an "earthquake" if it doesn't happen on planet earth?

EXACTLY!

The professor somewhat snootily informed me that, yes, he should maybe call them MARSquakes, but in that case, they could not call the course Planetary Geology, as "Geo" implies that we'd only be discussing Earth.

A little background on that story, though: that class was a huge lecture (200+ students) and you could get extra points on your grade for asking questions in the lecture.  So I asked a lot of them, and eventually he stopped calling on me, because a lot of my questions were bizarre or funny.

Once, after he stopped calling on me, I offered everyone who sat in my immediate vicinity $25 if they could raise their hand and ask the professor--with a straight face, or it's not good for the cash--"I've been thinking a lot, and...well, based on its size alone, don't you think it's probably a smart move to just go ahead and consider Jupiter an enemy planet, until we know otherwise?"

OT: Holy Lord I want a sandwich.

I had a tuna sandwich yesterday, on this absolutely glorious bread with lots of dill in it, and a really light garlicky taste, and a ribbon of swiss cheese baked throughout.  Mmmm.

[Greg Nog]

Mm.  Tuna would be good right now.  I actually haven't made tuna salad in a little while.  Perhaps tonight.

Also, I like the term "MARTIAL QUAKE".

I ate tuna souvlaki last night, and it counts as a sandwich because they gave you a piece of pita to put it on.

I had no idea that you could do that to tuna. Oh my god.

Biggins FTW ... !

...which reminds me, yes: yesterday I told two of my dearest friends in the whole wide world that I would buy them dinner if and only if they danced in a drum circle in Venice Beach. And that they did, side by side with tons of stoned creepy older gentlemen. (And one of them was even mildly fondled in the two minutes that she danced! Oh, dear. Huzzah for harrassment, huzzah for hilarity.)

OT: I had a turkey club in the evening yesterday, and I realized that sometimes bacon makes me wretch, but only sometimes. Unfortunately, last night was one of those times. Yucky!

You know what I had for lunch?  A spicy chicken burrito.

It wasn't a sandwich after all!!!!!!

Or was it?

So the ruling handed down by the judge, does that extend to "wraps" and those little pinwheel-type "sandwiches"?

[RoyBiggins]

I was curious about that, too, and find that the judges ruling is pretty spurious based on things like pita and large, flour tortilla-like wraps made specifically for non-burrito foods.  

I believe that technically, those little pinwheel-type things are "delicious."

[Greg Nog]

My main dividing line would probably be whether the bread has risen or not.  So pita-pockets are sandwiches, while wraps aren't.

Agreed

So a gyro is a sandwich then, right?

[Andrew_TSKS]

yeah, i'd call a gyro a sandwich. i agree with greg about this.

[RoyBiggins]

I have been inspired.

[martin_van_buren]

Lol, says I.

YEAH. HOW CONVENIENT.

I miss steak sandwhiches. Haven't had one since I came to college (yeah... I've really lapsed on my vegetarianism), so the other night I invited a few friends over my dorm room for a steak dinner. We pan-seared a delicious London Broil (is it still a London Broil, if you don't broil it?), I expected there to be leftovers with which I could make a sandwhich. Sadly, we ate it all.

So depressing.

Oh man.  Mr. Greek McGyroface would be an awesome screen name.

Aaaah, so good...

Last night for dinner I made a faux-crab salad sandwich that contained:

faux-crab (if you can get decent crab, use it.  It's not so easy/affordable to do so in central IA).
celery
green onion
mayo
mustard
dill weed
salt
cracked pepper

spooned over lettuce on a croissant.  It was way better than I expected it to be.  Also, it would have been good to put some chipotle powder on it, but I was already nearly done eating by the time it occurred to me.  Maybe with the leftovers tonight.

my favorite sandwich of all time:

ham + provolone + mayo + tomato on a baguette squashed on a sandwich press and grilled.  It's the Paris train station special (or maybe Rome, I don't remember where I first had it, it was several years ago).  delicious.  Sometimes I add seasoning, but usually eat it as described above.

[G.C.R]

Whoa, the cream cheese and tomato relish on toast is driving me out of my mind. I've had 5 pieces.
Yesterdays sammmiches I made for lunch were one of those lunches that you sit at work all morning just waiting for the clock to usher in the eating time, because you knowyou have a sandwich of undescribable deliciousness waiting. Viz:

soy and linseed bread
creamcheese
Pesto
Tomato relish
lettuce
beetroot
red capsicum.

Guys, I had such an amazing sandwich for lunch.  Ho.  Lee.  Shit.  Hoo boy.  And while the grumpy old Italian dude made it, him and his wife were swearing at and wishing death upon each other.

[diesel_powered]

I made this awesome sandwich today with thinly sliced salami and hot pepper cheese and mayo and herb spring mix on sprouted wheat bread. It was sort of a hippy sandwich.

[elpollodiablo]

I've been in a hippie sandwich before.

Josh, I'm gonna need a lot more detail on this.

Mike, I had a salami sandwich yesterday, too, but it was very plain and should've had more salami on it.  

I have a lean cuisine in the fridge here at work, but alla the sudden, I'm thinkin'...mmmm....sammiches.

[Lucy]
