Lunch

Today's discussion, my first true post to this all important blog, will discuss something near and dear to my heart: Lunch. Now, while this may seem trivial, it is, in fact, more than trivial. And, if "The Three Amigo's" taught us nothing, it's that infamous means more than famous. So, by clear extension, intrivial must mean more than trivial. Thus, welcome to intrivial blog about today's lunch.

Now, lunch is a more difficult subject than one might imagine if a) no one in your house really thinks a lot about shopping b) no one in your house prepares a meal that involves any steps beyond store-bought marinades, and 3) Gianni's Pizza on Edgel Road in Framingham, possibly the greatest pizza since the fall of Papa Gino's, is on speed dial of every phone in the house.

In my life, lunch is usually the first and only real meal of the day. Breakfast usually consists of McDonald's bagel and a diet coke. Which, might you know, was also the breakfast of choice at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games….But I digress…..So, for today's lunch, I was fortunate enough to find turkey in the refrigerator. What makes that all the more miraculous, that I found not just lunch meats, but also bread…..and bread without any of that fuzzy green seasoning either. So, its go time.

First step is to decide on condiments. Clearly the choice comes down to some mustard variant or a creamy mayo-type product. So, given the miracle of finding both lunch meat and bread at the same time, I made the obvious choice. Use both. After laying down some wheat bread on a not-unclean counter, I put down a nice strip of miracle whip on one slice and a "Z" shaped spread of grey poupon Dijon with the horseradish kicker. After laying down the turkey, I was faced with a conundrum – where to put cheese? I pulled back the turkey and put the cheese directly on the condiments on each slice and then re-layered the turkey.

Finally came the revelation that made this intrivial meal possible – Lawry's seasoned salt . For those of you not familiar – get with the game.

Now, to finish it off, I threw another piece of bread down in the middle to go club sandwich style (yes, I know its blasphemy to say such things when bacon is not involved). Final step – throw the whole thing in the toaster and this what intrivial is really all about

Next up on the intrivial scale – proper nap technique.
