no reason for not writing

so I have no reason for not writing yesterday except for it's my busiest day and I was on my feet for most of it. I got home and spent a half an hour eating and getting ready to head off to babysitting, so I should have done it then, but I didn't.

I think part of me was just really overwhelmed and tired. And I kept thinking about what to write about but nothing was there...

the entry I should have written yesterday (my new favorite catchphrase):

Thursday, March 29, 2006 will live on as a day of infamy in the gastronomical world of sandwich consumption. I have discovered (via Leonard and Ruth) a delicious sandwich shop on Lincoln Ave that I have probably passed hundreds of times and never visited. Calliope Cafe is the name and I had a chicken avocado wrap that was so good I wished I had ordered two!

As if the wrap wasn't good enough, instead of serving ho hum chips, Calliope makes their own thin waffle cut kettle chips that were fantastic. I have never had a better version of potato. The only thing missing was cole slaw, but I know it's an underappreciated accoutrement to lunch and dinners. They did throw in a pickle, but you gotta love stuff slathered in mayo....

The last sandwich place I visited that was this eyebrow raising was also on Lincoln ave, right next to the McDonald's at Halsted and Fullerton. It's called Pita Pit. They take a plate sized thin pita pocket and stuff it with fixings of your choosing, presented ala Subway style, complete with sneeze guard. The catch is, if you order lunchmeat, they grill it, which is a nice flavor.

Plus, they're both small independent shops, which is more the reason for me to partronize them.

cheers, stine
