T Stands For Venturing Out

I want to begin by wishing everyone in the states, a very happy Labor Day.  I hope you are enjoying your Federally mandated holiday.  However, I especially want to thank all the essential workers who do NOT get the day off, like the nurses and doctors taking care of our sick and dying, the grocery store clerks who stock the shelves, ring up orders, and bag the groceries.  I want to thank the truck drivers who move products from place to place, and the garbage workers, who remove our trash.  Thanks also to the fire fighters, as well as the EMTs who put their lives on the line every day.  And finally to the honorable police, who don't rush to hurt or kill just because a person has a different skin color.  Thank you to all.

For the second time since late February, I'm not at home.

My foodie friend Sally talked me into venturing out into the world.  I was once again very leery, but decided others had done it, I'd give it another try, too.  We went to City Bites where they have a drive through and we didn't have to get out of the car.  I completely forgot to take photos, and as you can see, this is an old photo.

I paid for the two sandwiches and felt cheated because we could have gotten foot long submarine sandwiches much cheaper elsewhere.  We went back to Sally's where I took these photos.  She gave me a real Coke, even though I much prefer the taste of Diet Coke.  It was all she had, and since I left my coffee at home, I knew I'd need caffeine soon.  Yes, Sally's house is always this messy and cluttered, which is why I'm not fond of visiting her home.  We were nicely distanced, though.

I got a Veggie sandwich, which I'll go into in a minute.  Sally got a hot Turkey Melt on wheat berry bread.

The first thing you do is pick your choice of bread, then the sandwich.  I got half Jalapeño Cheese which I ate at Sally's

and half sun-dried tomato, which I took home and ate the next day.

Per their web site, the cold veggie contains avocado, alfalfa, sprouts, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, black olives, crushed cherry peppers (and oils, which I asked them to leave off), along with their ranch dressing which I asked for on the side.

As you can see, I got lots of pickles, but only a tiny bit of red onions, olives, and very few sprouts.  Mine was $10.00 (USD) and Sally's was $12.00 (USD).  Compare that to Subway, where (at least in Wichita, Kansas), if you purchase TWO foot longs, you get them for $5.00 (USD) each.

However, I wasn't about cry over spilled milk, so ate it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's now time for you to share your own drink related post.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.   Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.



Some of you saw I tripped in my craft room and fell. I will show photos in a day or two of the anti-static mat and hole I tripped over.
