It’s Monday!

I do love Mondays but I’m not too immune to the Mondays that I don’t need a little pick me up. :mrgreen:

Lunch

Don’t you love when you order something new at a restaurant you always go to and it turns out super duper good and your previous impression of the restaurant that might have just been so-so becomes AWESOME?

Well… this happened to me!

My Dad, brother and I went to the little Acme Café down the street for sandwiches. Their sandwiches are good, they just aren’t special at all. It’s so basic and boring.

Anyways today I totally swapped up my order. I had

  • whole wheat bread instead of sourdough
  • avocado
  • pepperocinis

with the usual turkey, tomato, lettuce, mustard, pickle, and onion.

OMG this sandwich was on the next level.

I even got my second serving of healthy fats! It’s only noon. BOOYEAH!

I heard it is raining cats and dogs back home. it is sunny here but with a wind, weather honestly baffles me the way it works. I am not a huge avocado fan (I know!) but at least it was a win in your books!

It is! Why is it raining? I’m so confused.

I used to not like avocado either so… it’s all good.

Mustard is a necessity. I didn’t like it too much before I had to go dairy free. Now that I can’t have mayo, mustard is always my go-to!

Dude, I kinda love anything with avocado…seriously healthy fats rock my socks :)

Doesn’t only like rain three days a year in Cali? It rains like a week each month here in DC…you definitely win on the weather front.
