sandwich woes

so MOCAD has a cafe from which i frequently purchase a variety of delicious organic sandwiches on my lunch break. the only problem i have found is that i have yet to master the art of gracefully eating a sandwich. for instance, today i chose to go with the always reliable chicken salad sandwich. though i am generally not a huge chicken salad fan, this is not any ordinary chicken salad. this chicken salad is mixed with dried cherries, walnuts, red onions, a touch of dill, and love.

HOWEVER, it is quite a hassel to eat. with every bite, i managed to lose 3/4 of the sandwich. it was as if i was at war with my sandwich in order to simply nourish myself. i felt like such an ogre. also, being that i was raised to never be wasteful, i felt inclined to pick up every miniscule dropping that had fallen onto my plate and somehow stuff it back into my sandwich without making even more of its contents fall out. (think jenga, only backwards.) good thing i eat alone. maybe this is why i eat alone...

there is the most darling homeless man who always hangs out in the cafe and orders a juice box. maybe i should invite him to sit with me next time.

i love this whole "organic" foods thing that has blown up lately. i'm pretty sure that organic, by definition, refers simply to carbon based compounds. but now, who knows. this world has gotten to confused for me sometimes.
