All The Veggies Except Jalepenos
I almost always order the same thing at Subway. Subway Club salad, no cheese, all the veggies except jalepenos. It's high protein, made with all turkey meat so relatively low in saturated fat, and extraordinarily filling for only 150 calories.
At the Subway in Scranton, it never fails. I give my order. They chop the meat. They move to the veggies. They ask if I want lettuce.
"All the veggies except for jalepenos," I repeat.
They put in the lettuce.
"Carrots?"
"All the veggies except for jalepenos."
And so on, until the third vegetable, at which point it sinks in.
I'm sure that at some point they were sued by a customer who died of anaphlactic shock after an employee put an unwanted vegetable into her salad. But still. Do I need a note from my doctor in order to expedite the preparation of my salad?
When I say all the veggies, I mean all the veggies.
Except jalepenos.

Dear April, I've been "away" for some time, both emotionally and physically from CRON, but I've recently vowed to return. I read your post of yesterday with such a heavy heart as my best friend's dad is in the Alzheimer's fight as well. I just want you to know (however you feel about this since I've read about your feelings on faith in a higher power) that I AM thinking of and praying for you, your grandfather and your family. Let's hope the brilliant scientists can eliminate this terrible disease in the immediate future to prevent further heartbreak.
Hugs,
Danielle

Tim and I ate at Subway's just this week. We always split the 12" turkey or turkey and ham and get "all the veggies" as you say and mustard only. We cheat and get the provolone and the Italian herb bread. Tim gets oatmeal cookies as well. No Subway here gives you crap about the veggies, though.
