Personal Sandwich Making

I feel like everyone has their own style of how they prefer a sandwich to be made. For instance, I like mayonnaise on the bread, then cheese on the mayo, then other stuff. Some might prefer that the mayo touch their meat. There are different ways to assemble the sandwich, toast it, cut it, etc. that sometimes other people just won't make you a sandwich the way you want it.

My mom thinks that food tastes better if you don't have to prepare it yourself. I don't really think that sandwich assembly does much to alter the taste, but it may somehow change the whole sandwich experience.

I wish there was a sandwich shop where you go in, pay, get a pair of gloves, then proceed to make your sandwich using their bread, cut-ups, and condiments.

So Much Popcorn

How do they fit all that popcorn in one bag? I'm not talking about putting little kernels in and then making them expand. I'm always surprised by how many popped kernels come out of the bag. I see the size of it when I pull it out of the microwave, then I empty some out. It seems like there's usually at least 123% of the amount I thought there was. Does this happen to anyone else?

Upcoming Krank It Up! Events

We had a KIU! meeting tonight and there's going to be a lot of upcoming events for those of you who are interested. There is a Black Tie Soiree, an alleycat race, a Drinking Socially event at the Fermentation Lounge, and a series of workshops ranging from basic maintenance like lubing a chain all the way up to wheel building. For more info, check out the KIU! Facebook page by searching for Krank It Up! Bicycle Project. More details will follow when dates are set. There's already a FB event for the first workshop in the series.

Krishna Food

I had been going to FSU for about 4 years without trying the Krishna lunch. It's too bad, because it's a lot of good food for $5. I can stuff myself on it. I went for the first time last summer or early in the fall semester. I bring my own bowl and they fill it up. Then they'll refill it for free. Then you get dessert. And it's all vegetarian and good for you. Plus it's tasty. Best meal for $5 on/around campus. It's served on the first floor of the International Student Center from 11:30am-2pm Monday through Friday.

Giraffe on Tall Bike

Ha, this is a t-shirt on Etsy, buy it here.

Farm Outside Tally

Look at that landscape. Dead trees in the background, shoddy fence in the foreground, complete with dilapidated buildings all under a mostly blue clear sky. This was taken while on a bike ride. I should carry my camera more and document nice places I visit.
