A bad lunch

So, it's Friday, I have almost two hours left, and nothing really blog about. The highlight-slash-lowlight of my day so far was my trip to Bloomingfoods for a celebratory end of the week lunch.

The hot bar didn't look too promising, though they did have one of my favorites: Tom's Turkey Meatballs. They also had some roasted root vegetables, but they looked like they had been made "sweet style," which is not to my liking. I gave a brief thought to a small salad topped with a giant meatball, but headed, instead, to the cold deli sandwiches.

I was really hoping to find a "Don't Mess with Texas." I can't remember what was on it, but it is some kind of turkey club wrap with bacon and avocado and some kind of spicy relish or salsa or something. No suck luck. They DID, however, have an Asian Pork wrap, and they sold them by the 1/2. Done. It was smallish and mostly veg, so I got a little vegan sushi to go along with it. And of course a delicious fresh brewed iced tea.

It was, unfortunately, a bit of a disappointment. The pork on the sandwich was really greasy, which was a terrible mix for the very tart oil and vinegar dressing that was on the wrap. It tasted almost like straight rice wine vinegar, but I new it also had some oil in it because I could feel it on my hands. I feel like sesame oil would have been a much better choice.

As for the sushi, it was fine. I got the most boring of all possible selections, because it was the cheapest. A dozen little seaweed wrapped nuggets of brown rice with cucumber, carrots or avocado in the center, served with the typical wasabi and pickled ginger. It's my favorite to buy from the grocery...kind of like Hoosier-Asian comfort food to me. The only bad part about it was when I squirted soy sauce on my passenger seat. Hopefully James's butt will soak it up when I pick him up from work tonight. :)
