Sandwich Switch-Up Fridays

One thing that is eerily creeping into my mind as this sandwich exercise reaches the end of it's first week is the fact that I'm going to be eating the same sandwich for 5 straight days every week. You see, I go to Wegman's every Sunday and do all my shopping for the week. Because of this, I'm buying 1 sandwich concoction for all 5 work days. This isn't the worst thing in the world, but if in fact variety is the spice of life, than my sandwich routine will become very bland very fast.

Today I came to work with no enthusiasm for my 9th and 10th chicken salad sandwiches, after having them for the past 4 days. However, when I arrived to work in the morning, I had a genius idea -- Bagel Sandwich. My company buys a couple dozen bagels for everyone every Friday. This is great for a breakfast, or better yet... Sandwich Switch-Up Fridays! It just so happened that the materials available to me (poppy seed bagel, chicken salad, onion) made up a perfect replica of the sandwich that got me through many a hangover and late nights when going to college several years ago. All I did was toast (somewhat heavily) the bagel, throw some chicken salad on, throw some cut-up onions on top of the salad, cut in half, and I had one of the tastiest sandwiches I've had in quite some time. I plan on implementing Sandwich Switch-Up Fridays on almost every occasion in the future. It's a great way of breaking up the monotony of an entire week's worth of sandwiches.

Poppy Seed Bagel version of this week's sandwich gets not only a 9.5/10 on the arbitrary scoring scale, but also two enthusiastic thumbs up... I would love to make this sandwich a go-to lunch in the future.
