Confession

So even I don't make stuff from scratch 100% of the time. The only leftovers for me to have for supper tonight were fajita leftovers... with two pieces of meat that combined to be the size of a stick of gum, just a bit thicker. So I was rummaging for a snacky-meal and came up with either a bowl of mushroom flavored rice noodle soup (just add water) or a can of low fat corned beef hash.

Hash won! Already ate veggies and some protein would be good. So cooked 1/2 the can (1 serving) with some Chipotle hot sauce and fresh ground pepper (though I think there are a few flakes of crushed red pepper from the last time I used the top of the grinder for some crushed red pepper flakes in an arrabiata sauce.

And I'm picky about my pepper - I mix it so it's half tellicherry pepper and half a blend called Pepper Supreme. Good blend of flavor and spice. YUM!

Well, I'm going to go now and get back to the last half of the hash still sitting in my plate!

A delayed Quizno's post.

I first tried Quizno's a while ago - the one on Oaklawn Ave since it's close to work - and I had the French Dip sandwich. And that was enough to keep me from going back for a VERY LONG time. The only thing that got me to try it again was the fact that Bryan tried a bite of their honey mustard chicken sandwich and was hooked. So when he wanted Quizno's for dinner and kept saying how good it was, I figured I'd try a flatbread sammy - only 2 bucks and pretty small if I didn't like it.

I tried one of the steak ones and it was pretty good... but the WOW factor came on my next visit where I wanted to try something a little different. And anyone who knows me knows that I have a special spot in my food preferences for spicy stuff. So, lo and behold, there on the flatbread sammy menu is a Sonoma Turkey flatbread sammy - turkey, chipotle mayo and pepper jack cheese. Sounds "mmmm, tasty" if you ask me. And when it came to toppings, I added red onions, tomato, lettuce and some shredded cheddar. (I also have a thing for sharp cheddar!)

The sandwich was SO good and the thing that makes it is the chipotle mayo, but keep in mind that I'm someone who usually gets poultry without mayo because (A) I prefer miracle whip, and (B) I'd rather spend the fat and calories on something else.

Since then, I've gotten it a few more times to make sure it wasn't a fluke and believe me - that sandwich just ROCKS!
