Have it your way!
Okay, I'm sooooo busy that I don't have time for a proper blog, so instead I'll just share a little observation I made over lunch: you can tell a lot about a person by their Subway sandwich.
While standing in the looooong line that I always end up standing in if I don't go before noon or after one, I watched all kinds of people order, and didn't see the same sandwich twice.
Are Subway sandwiches like fingerprints--unique and unduplicatable?
Here's mine (and you know you go to Subway way too much if you order it in the exact same way--verbatim--every time.)
Six inch turkey on wheat. No cheese. Toasted.
What kind of cheese? I'll get asked.
No cheese, I'll say.
Then, after explaining that no, I really don't want cheese, and yes I know it's included in the sandwich price, and no it's not because I'm against cheese, I'm just not willing to give up the Weight Watchers point it would cost me, I move on to the veggie portion of our program:
Lettuce. Tomatoes. Pickles. LOTS of black olives--could I have some more black olives please? Salt and pepper. And... (this is where I deviate when I'm feeling dangerous) ....low fat mayo, OR ranch dressing, (OR if I'm wanting to save another WW point) spicy mustard.
Throw in a Diet Coke and some Baked Lays (cheddar and sour cream flavor) and you've got the Ally Carter Subway combo.
Really, you can order it by name.
So what Subway sandwich are you?

ps...I believe this might be the single-lamest diary post ever. Today Meg Cabot's blogging about meeting JK Rowling and I'm blogging about olives and the age-old mayo versus mustard debate. I'll do better soon, I promise.

I always get the Subway Club (6 inch) with everything but onions (because I'm allergic to them which is really annoying).
And believe me, I've seen much lamer posts elsewhere. Some of mine, for instance. *g* We can't ALL hobnob with Stephen King, John Irving, and J.K. Rowling. Of course, I'd be happy to hobnob with all the writers I talk to online. :)
6 inch, turkey, white bread, lettuce, that thin white cheese that I don't know the name of (ignorant me) and that's it. I would get confused looks, too. No tomatoes? No mayo?
Oh, and don't forget the sun chips!
6 inch wheat bread with american cheese toasted. Mayo, just mayo. Onions, cucumbers, lettuce, and bellpeppers, not those other peppers, the sliced bellpeppers(they always reach for the other peppers first and yes, my sandwich is mostly vegtables). salt and pepper. Baked Lays and root beer. I get the same thing everytime, too.
i think talking about sandwiches is much more interesting than meeting JK Rowling.... i love subway!!! i get the exact same thing every tiime 6 inch turkey on white with lettuce black olives and mayo thats it i like it plain and the same!!!
Well Meg Cabot is over rated anyway. She's produced too many books in too short of a time by now for me to think they are up to par. Anyways I know exactly how you feel I have a Subway sandwhich as well, however mine has far less vegetables and is way worse for my health...and yes I understand the lots of...can I have more type of thing all of us costumers must go tru lol.
Subway is awesome, way better than Quizno's. I always get American cheese (no, no meat, I'm a vegetarian) and tomato (more tomato, please. No, nothing else. No, no mayo. No lettuce.) and Diet Coke and cheddar and sour cream baked lays (cool, same chips & drink as you, lol).
OOoh. Let's see....
6" Turkey, Parmesan Oregano, LIGHT mayo/yellow mustard, White American cheese (once I asked for "white american" and actually felt guilty becuase the guy next to me in line was clearly NOT a white american) Lettuce, oil and vinegar, salt and pepper. :-)
Ooh what fun.
Okay, I'm a six inch veggie on the parmesan bread or, if they're out, whole wheat, toasted.
But, since I'm a really picky veggie eater here's what I get on the sandwich...
lettuce, extra onions, pickles, hots, extra mayo and oil - hold the cheese!
Hey anon, next time you order the white american cheese, just say American white to prevent any awkwardness.
I was once told by someone who worked in a deli that it's proper to say "American cheese yellow" or "American cheese white."
Don't know why!
