Veggie Pt. 2/Swan Song Sandwich

May 9-13 will more than likely conclude my sandwich experiment. While it's been wildly successful for me as a means for eating healthier, it's also been a surprisingly pricey endeavor. Also, although I like to think of myself as an extremely creative individual, the longer I go on with this exercise the harder a time I find myself having with coming up with new sandwich concoctions. I'm sure that moving forward I'll create a bunch more sandwiches from time to time, but I'm sort of tired of expecting myself to come up with something for the entire week. Call me crazy, but I'm actually looking quite forward to a week filled with PB&Js.

With that said, I would like to think that I went out with a bang. When looking back on all the sandwiches I've made, I've come to the conclusion that the vegetarian sub was the far and away winner. Going into this I never would have thought that it was possible to have enjoyed a meatless sandwich that much. But I did, and because of that I decided to try it again.

This week's sandwich is nothing new. People have been making mozzarella and tomato sandwiches forever. I chose to add pesto to my sandwich, and place it in between 2 halves of a toasted whole wheat english muffin. It was a really solid sandwich, and I'll give it a fitting score of 8.5/10.0. The true selling point of this sandwich, and the reason why I would consider it strongly in the future (perhaps more so than any other sandwich I've made in the past 2 months) is the simplicity. I could make this sandwich in the dark after like 25 beers. In the future I fully plan on bringing this back as a go-to sandwich.

My century ride is next weekend, and although there is another week where I should be making an interesting sandwich, things have gotten a little hectic, and I'm going to be missing a few days from work. So this is my sandwich swan song. At least for now. Unless I change my mind. Stay tuned.
