Everyone carries around a jar of mustard, an avocado and real silverware in their purse all day and then writes about sandwiches on a Friday night, right? Glad we’re all on the same page here…
I was running late for work today (as I do) and didn’t have time to assemble a complete meal on the spot. Instead, I opted for throwing a bunch of sandwich essentials into a bag and doing the dirty work later. That’s how I came to find:
- Two slices of bread
- A piece of cheese
- One avocado
- A jar of mustard
- Three pickles
- A block of tempeh
- And two tomatoes
In my purse. Don’t you even worry about it.
I sit outside in the same place everyday and I know the people who pass by or work nearby think I’m a straight up lunatic. Remember that time I brought corn on the cob? Exactly.
In the end, I would argue that it was better to not have my sandwich pre-assembled because that’s how bread gets soggy and no one likes soggy bread. Least of all people who eat a lot of food and enjoy doing so.



I must have offended God somehow because about six or seven years ago I developed an allergy to avocados (as well as bananas.) I’m still devastated.
Random question: are you also allergic to latex? A lot of people who are allergic to bananas are also allergic to latex.
nooooooooooooooooo. that is terrible. i feel for you.
anytime that i pack my lunch for work i always bring the sandwich in parts and assemble in the kitchen when i’m ready for lunch. much better that way.
i also chronically run late to everything and can just imagine you throwing things in your purse while thinking about your alternative mall dining options.
