Last night, we had TLT sandwiches for dinner - tempeh (Fakin' Bacon strips), lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, red onion, and mayonnaise, on multigrain bread. Mmm, mmm, good. Not only was it easy and tasty, it took me back to the summers of 12 to 13 years ago, when the TLT was always the answer to my need for, yet almost-aversion to, food, before a drug problem came between me and my favorite deli for TLT sandwiches.
Just seeing if you're paying attention. The drug problem wasn't mine - it was that of the deli/health food store owner. About 10 years ago, the shop abruptly closed. A year or two later, about as abruptly, the shop opened again. It was all very mysterious in my book. But a friend reported that she'd run into the owner, and that he'd apparently developed a hard drug habit that had landed him in jail. So the store closed, and then reopened when he'd finished his time. I didn't find the sandwiches as tasty after the reopening.
