Weird Food

I tried to have a nice, peaceful lunch yesterday and today, but I caused a bit of a ruckus. Apparently my choice of meal is a little unconventional, even weird to some of my coworkers. I took out 2 pieces of bread and start cutting slices of cheese to put on one piece of bread. Pretty normal. But then I pull out my raspberry jam and smothered it on the other piece of bread. My coworkers who were eating their common spaghetti, salads, and turkey sandwiches start eying my less-than-traditional sandwich. "Are you putting those pieces of bread together? That's weird." "Um, yeah. It's actually quite a fancy food served at sophisticated luncheons in Texas. You obviously wouldn't understand." (I've found that anytime people think something I do or say is "weird" I can just blame it on Texas.) I actually did try this sandwich for the first time at a friend's bridal shower in Austin. It is delicious - so don't knock it until you try it!
