People, it appears as though I have acquired some readers out there in varying corners of the world. To those of you who have a deli which you go shop at on occasion, I am here to encourage you to take charge.
For years, except the year I got sick and was out of commission as a wife and mom doing wife and mom things, I have, so many times it's not even funny, had people purchase what I was purchasing at a deli because that's what I was purchasing. This has happened more times than I can count and the most recent experience with this was Saturday evening.
This is hard core absolute truth I'm speaking, or rather, typing, here.
Don't fear the deli, embrace the yummy-ness of all the potential it can hold with all the tasty goods on display there.
Here's how this goes.
Deli Employee: Hi, what can I get for you?
Me: A pound of this, a pound of that, and a pound of that cheese.
Deli Employee: How would you like that sliced?
Me: Well, I'm going to do XYZ, with this, so I need it shaved, and the other is for Monkey Lunch, so please slice that as ABC and the cheese at a 1.5, thanks.
Person who has walked up and heard my request: I'll take the same thing she's ordered! I didn't know what I was going to get, but now I do! I'm so glad I overheard this!
Me: Glad I could be helpful.
Other Deli Employee: All right, then. I'll get to work on that.
People, seriously, take charge of your deli selections! It's not that difficult, even with picky eaters.
Look at what the deli has. Beef, chicken, ham, turkey. That's one per week for each week of the month. Choosing a cheese and some bread to match isn't that complicated. Cheese preferences are as individual as, well, cheese itself. As for bread, let's take a look at that for a moment, shall we? Beef, a nice sourdough anything. Chicken or turkey, any sort of honey wheat would nice. Ham, a sourdough or country type bread would go well with that. Of course there's always any sort of multi-grain breads would be tasty, too. I like rye bread, pumpernickel, and ancient grains types of breads, so I'd choose any of those for myself. Unfortunately, the menfolk don't, so we get slightly more conventional breads and wrappy things. One can skip on the overall healthy content of the bread as far as being super vigilant about the carbs on it because of the other healthy things one can do with the contents of said sandwiches and/or wrappy things.
And that, readers, concludes my commentary about taking charge of your deli shopping.

Thank you. I apologize for the lack of a reply to the comment/s you have left, however every time I attempt to reply to a comment someone has left, blogger eats my reply. This is something I have yet to figure out how to fix. Thank you for your time.
