My new favorite thing.
Honest. Wait… do I say that often?
Either way, I really mean it this time. : )
I have casually mentioned to my husband that I could be a vegetarian, it really wouldn’t bother me.
(Especially with a sandwich like this!) He usually stares at me in fear for a few seconds until I start to smile. : )
