Daily trivia


Question: How many italian beef sandwiches can a pregnant woman eat in a typical 5-day work week?

Answer: Four

I guess since I'm off work for the summer, I don't really have a work week. Unless you consider eating beef sandwiches a job, which would be pretty good work if you can get it.

Maybe the real question should be how many beef sandwiches SHOULD a pregnant woman eat in a 5 day work week. I'm guessing the answer to that would be a number smaller than four...maybe closer to zero.

I just can't stop myself, what can I do? I've been able to choke down a few measly shreds of lettuce from a salad so I don't feel so totally guilty. I'm gonna give birth to that doofus from that Supersize Me documentary.

I think the problem is that the sandwich is just a medium for the hot giardiniera. Perhaps if I can find another vehicle for my hot pepper fixation, I can lay off the beef. But on what else does one use giardiniera as a condiment? I can't think of anything except maybe a frozen cheese pizza (oooohhhhhh), but I don't think that's really the healthy option I've been searching for.

I'm going to try to make it a whole week without one, wish me luck.

Is IV jardinière a possibility or will that affect the baby?

Congrats by the way. You guys rock. You've got to start teaching the Bean how to change a diaper. You could make a game out of it.

You don't want to just eat beef sandwiches. I'd suggest mixing it up with some bacon guacamole cheese fries. Congrats.

I love to hit the hot beef spots around town.

Portillo's is still the best.

I'm on to Indian food now, but the bacon guacamole cheese fries sound divine!!!!!!

I'm a teacher. Apparently this means I must know EVERY answer to EVERY question in all of creation. Heaven help me if I make a spelling error. I'm also a wife & "new Mommie" (shudder). Don't get me wrong, I love my babies, but the phrase "new mommie" has got to go. It just conjures up images of scrunchies & sweat pants in my mind. Phooey.
