Today for lunch, for the first time in a VERY long time, I had a sandwich with the crust cut off. Jesse and I purchased thinly sliced turkey from the Kroger Deli along with sliced Havarti cheese. We then halved it so we could both have some at our place. Why we didn't just buy two bags of each, I don't know.
Anyways, the ladies slicing the deli meat had to have been in their 80s. They were slow and very precise. I'm usually in a hurry and would have wanted to jump back there and do it myself, but something about watching them made me smile. I ended up wanting to walk behind the counter and give them a hug. I hope when I'm 80 I can still work a job standing on my feet all day, not to mention dealing with the general public, some of which would be just down right nasty.
So back to the sandwich, when I went to the fridge this morning, there it was, waiting for me. As if some little fairy made it for me. It even had a packet of ketchup and a packet of mustard with it in case I needed any condiments. I've never put ketchup on a turkey and cheese sandwich, but for some reason the little fairy must have thought it would be good.
Cutting off the crust is something my mom always did. I must be too lazy because I never take the time to make a sandwich that I actually enjoy eating. They are usually dry and boring. Not the fairy sandwich...it was delicious! Here's a picture to prove it.
