As Steven and I left the cultural, intellectual lecture (see previous post), I mentioned that there was very little to eat in the house.
“I saved you the last of the pastrami and provolone,” I offered. He knew as well as I did it would make a fairly small sandwich.
“I could always have a bowl of cereal,” he said.
“Of course, Carney’s Corners is right over there,” I mentioned casually.
I’ve blogged about Carney’s corners before. They are a convenience store and deli, offering subs, pizza, wings, and more. We usually order delivery, but they are quite handily located, especially if you are coming from the court house (um, not that we are frequently at the court house).
We ordered a chicken bacon ranch sub. I know, turkey breast or even roast beef might have been more conducive to my weight loss goals, but I can’t always do the sensible thing. While our sub was being made, Steven found an Oreo brownie he wanted for dessert. I looked longingly at some puddings and cheesecakes in a cooler but ultimately decided the sub was decadence enough for one night.
“I’ll only eat half of my half and save the rest for breakfast,” I said.
“After all, it has bacon on it,” Steven said.
Once I started eating it, I knew I would do know such thing. It was yummy! And, really, a hot sub is better when eaten hot. I had something sensible for breakfast.
The sub was the perfect ending to our evening. I highly recommend Carney’s Corners for those evenings when you’re headed for home and realize there’s nothing good to eat in the house.
