Subway Stinks!...and "Tasty"

Okay, so I didn't bring my lunch to work today and I was figuring out where I wanted to go. I thought "Oooo, Subway, I haven't been there in a while." So I got my usual, a turkey breast on whole wheat. How disappointing...

...In the days of my youth, I remember when Subway first opened up in my hometown. It was quite exciting and everyone - including me - thought their sandwiches were great. That was before Quiznos came on the scene with their toasting and their sassy sandwiches (Turkey Bacon Guac.) and their talking mice with deformed faces singing and telling us to "Eat Quiznos Subs!" This was also before I discovered Wegman's joint effort with DiBello's which produced subs that were awesome in every way (if you haven't had one before make for the nearest Wegmans Market Fair when you are next on the East coast). And so I hadn't had Subway in a long time, but thought I'd give them another chance to win my heart back...

...only to receive a sandwich that had four - yes, count them four - slices of turkey you could hardly see in the bread, let alone have a mouthful of turkey with your bread and lettuce. They have begun offering to toast your sandwich (a la Quiznos), but it doesn't help much. So unfortunately, Subway, I believe we need to part ways. But it was good while it lasted.

On another note, Brennan said a new word today, "tasty." It's so cute because he gives a lot of emphasis on the first syllable, so it's like "tayys-tee." You'll have to hear him sometime. Too bad he wasn't referring to Subway.

I had the same exact experience this week! Especially with the black olives. Never eat black olives at a sub shop unless you see them open the can. blah. I think they were four months old.

I've been meaning to ask for your email so we can chat about running. I want to hear about your experience.

"Tasty!" Your little boy is so stinking cute!

Bummer about Subway. They are pretty stingy with their meat, aren't they?? I think I prefer Quiznos to Subway these days. It's more expensive...but I guess you get what you pay for!

Yes, at least at Quizno's you can see the meat (the new commercials are right), but maybe I'll stay away from the olives just in case :0P.

Tracey, I'd love to hear more from you on how things are going. My email is don_and_bridgette@hotmail.com. I recently, well now about three weeks ago, ran a 5K. It felt great to get back out there and I kept a 12-minute-mile, which I was fine with. Woo hoo!

P.S. Jennifer/Tracey, how do you get a photo to be by your name every time? I'd like to do that.
