i didn't have time to make it from scratch

used a mix :(

I made a slow-cooked jambalaya a few weeks ago that was far superior.

But fine, pic on its way.

Subway 5 dollar footlong

Turkey, no cheese, toasted on whole wheat. Lettuce, pickles, olives, onions, jalapenos, oil and vinegar, with a little bit of chipotle sauce.

$5.44 and I am quite full

WHY NOT GET THOSE TASTY AND SPICY BANANA PEPPERS?

Also I will assume you drank your saliva

Casually.

by CasualHoya on Aug 9, 2010 1:13 PM EDT up reply actions

Water

Banana peppers with the jalapenos don’t work. I have perfected this sandwich, don’t ask questions you scum.

I only drink water during the day. Aside from my iced coffee in the morning.

Funny... you're not a conductor....

you take the S train over and then walk a few blocks east to your office

You're right

now that I have your attention, check this thought I just had – if someone replies to this post, then someone replies to that post, and so on, will the later replies be skewed/indented so far to the right on this site that they appear obsolete? yes, this is a.. wait for it… science experiment.
