New Love

Ever since I posted on my blog about "how good of a cook" I was --- I have unconsciously BOYCOTTED cooking.

We've eaten pizza, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Ruffles, and Olives this week for dinner. Pretty much the most random, shit dinners in the world.

Since going vegan almost five month ago, I can count the times we've eaten out on one hand. It just so happens, two of those times were this week.

Sigh.

Luckily -- I have meal planned for next week, went grocery shopping, and have every intention on cooking for the next five nights plus baking on two of them to make up for it.

In my "strike of being a wife who cooks" -- I talked with my BFFN on the phone who just so happened to be at "Which Wich" in Carmel, Indiana (where she lives). She told me how yummy of a place it was, how she could order vegan sandwiches (she's vegan, too), and how they were reasonably priced. I was intrigued.

I knew there was a location in Middleton and one that just opened up in the new area of Sun Prairie. Never visited in the three years I've seen it. And quite honestly I had never been interested. (I'm those kind of people who once they find something they like -- they always stick to it -- In this case, it was Milios, Jimmy Johns, Subway.....).

Until Today.

I knew we were going grocery shopping (NEVER GO GROCERY SHOPPING HUNGRY). We had NO food in the house, and my recent talk with Courtney had me craving this imagined, delicious vegan sandwich.

So, we decided to give it a try.

OH
MY
GOD

YOU GUYS! It was so - so - so - so GOOD. I was in food heaven. And ever since going vegan there has never been a time that I was in FOOD HEAVEN at a restuarant. Only after I stood over a hot stove for an hour (plus some) chopping, stirring, and cooking up my next dinner - has the food been THIS GOOD.

At restaurants - we order.............salad.

But this!!!!!!! It's like the STARBUCKS of all sandwich shops! Ab-so-freaking-lutely delish.

It is our new official FAVORITE place to eat.

You walk in the place and there is a desk like thingy where you pick your sandwich bag, select all the yummy veggies, pick a meat (or vegetarian, in our case), pick the sauce, pick the seasonings - then go check out. They hang the bag on a clothes line type thing (totally stolen from Hooters) and push the bag all the way to the kitchen where they make your sub.

Matt was sold right when he saw "Black Bean Patty" <--- he's a sucker for beans. HA.

Like Matt, the second I laid eyes on the vegetarian options, I knew EXACTLY what I was getting.

 

Creepy stalker picture.

So what did I get??? A cluster fuck of flavors.

I just couldn't say "no" to anything. It all sounded so good. And my goodness -- it was.

Wheat bread

Hummus

Honey Mustard

Avocado

Spinach

Tomatoes

Pickles

Banana Peppers

Cucumbers

Coleslaw

Bell Peppers

Black Olives

Dried Cranberries

Candied Walnuts

Oregano

Garlic

Salt

Pepper

 

Oh and we got chips AND MORE SODA! WTF!

 Its bigger than my head. And I looked stoned.

(FROM THE ANTICIPATION OF HUMMUS AND AVOCADO TOGETHER)

Get your heads out of the gutter, people.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!

So, pretty much its like a Subway on steriods. But the ingredients and bread are MUCH MORE FRESH and ten times more yummy. 

Pretty pathetic I'm posting about a sandwich shop, isn't it? I mean come on guys, our choices are limited for food places. 

With that being said -- Matt is taking me to the vegetarian/vegan restaurant, Green Owl, for my birthday next week. (Of course I'll post about it). I also want to try "Graze" off the capitol square.

Tomorrow, we were supposed to have a huge day party with a ga-jillion friends over at our house. Well apparently -- I picked the WORST day for everyone and now our plans are to go to the capitol with some of our visiting friends.

Oh -- and the bookstore -- because I get to go rampant tomorrow (buying used books) being its my birthday week. Well - week before birthday. Same diff.

PS: PAAAAA-LEASE tell me why Matt and I are interested in signing up for a half IRON MAN in 2016. Yes, it will take that long to get my ass in shape. Crazy vegan people?? I think so.

Until next time.
