Carrot and Cream Cheese Sandwich

My Mom does not approve of my sandwich choices. I told her about my creation, and the first words out of her mouth were: "oh [excruciatingly long, silent pause]...why?" It's like I told her I ate a dirty-needle and soiled diaper sandwich. I'm a good kid, so if that's her biggest issue, then her life is pretty easy-breezy. What I put between two slices of bread is my decision, Ma!

My body, my choice! My body, my choice! Hey, isn't there another group that uses this mantra? ...My cause is a bit less controversial, though.

This sandwich is a product of me trying to use up leftovers before going home for break. And you know what? It turned out to be really, really good. Next time I might throw in some turkey or chicken, but it's a fine sandwich on its own. Maybe my subsequent lunch will involve *gasp!* zucchini! The horror!
