Yuck!

I was grocery shopping this morning and all of a sudden had a craving for a sandwich I ate ALL THE TIME during college. I think I invented this sandwich, having no recollection of eating it on other occasions. I loved this sandwich in college. I would crave it, make it with care, and on a good day, make an extra for one of my roommates.

So after finding the ingredients at the store, I anticipated my reunion with the sandwich all morning! I was so excited for lunch. At the first sign of hunger, I carefully made the sandwich exactly how I had perfected the recipe over the years. My excitement and hunger grew. 

I sat down, took a bite of the sandwich and savored the familiar taste. I slowly took a few more bites, continuing to enjoy my creation. 

And then much to my surprise, I had a very unfamiliar feeling. 

I wanted to throw up! I looked at the sandwich and wondered how I ever enjoyed this collision of tastes, textures, and colors between two pieces of bread. I was disgusted. 

Amazing what you think is delicious in college on a work-study budget. 

Any one else have a "in college, I used to eat..." story?

I think I may just be getting old. I used to eat poptarts, toaster strudels, doughnuts, and hamburger helper in college. I can't eat any of them without serious adverse affects now.

I did eat an entire jar of pickles one time in college. On a dare. And I got $1. I'm guessing I can't do that either.
