Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!
Weighs one pound. Costs Four Bucks.

A quick story about Texas
Thursday, February 23, 2006
I lived in Austin, Texas in 1997 and 1998. While there I worked for a small, upstart ice cream company called Amy’s. My job was to make ice cream. So one day Amy and I were chatting, and noting I was from Vermont, she mentioned her dealings with Ben and Jerry’s.
You see at that time Amy had about five shops in Austin and San Antonio, but she wanted to start selling pints of ice cream in stores, too. She told me that Ben and Jerry had stopped that from happening by threatening to pull their business from all of the area companies with refrigerated trucks if they distributed for Amy.
That sounded like a vaguely familiar scenario. Where had I heard that before? Oh yeah, isn’t that what Pillsbury famously did to Ben and Jerry’s once? Remember the “What’s the Doughboy Afraid Of?” ad campaign?
She said she had spoken with each of them on the phone. According to her, Jerry was a nice guy and seemed almost apologetic about the whole thing, while Ben said something like ‘We’re big and you’re small so F you.”
Actually, it’s a story about what hypocrites liberals are. Ben is the politically active, Bush-bashing, TrueMajority-founding one of the pair. Big surprise he’s the jerk, too.
Looks like even Rush Limbaugh can post anonymously (above). With Nazi-like precision, he flies off target and bombs his own country.
Here's a true or false question: Ben has contributed more to local communities than all Republicans put together.
Answer: True.
I'd like to learn more about the original story. It's now just the word of a friend of a blogger. Perhaps there's a link to her effort or a newspaper story?
"Holy misinterpretation, Batman! Did you see that blog?"
"Yes, Boy Wonder, I did. Quickly... Into the Bat Mobile! The commissioner is signalling us to stop another thug who didn't use politically correct terminology."
Later that evening....
"Holy evil rainbow sprinkles, commissioner! Are you saying that someone used the word 'Nazi' and 'Amy's ice cream' in the same blog post?"
"That's right, Robin. There is no limit to how low these thugs will go. Will you two help?"
"You bet, commissioner. Come Robin! And bring the shame paddle! We have work to do."
Join us next week when our dynamic duo struggles to remove the knot from their panties. Same bat time, same bat blog....
I like Ben and Jerry's quite a bit and I'm proud of them for their work in charity, education and advocacy- and for the time they made no more than five times their lowest paid worker- and for the cold, delicious Unilever product I'm eating right now.
I don't have any agenda here. I'm just telling a story I think is amusing. Now, you have no reason to believe me, (especially if you read my disclaimer) but ice-cream Amy told me that. Of course, my version is grossly simplified.
She could have been making it all up, but I doubt it. I'm certainly not going waste time digging for documentation. I gave you the link to Amy's. Write to her yourself and ask if you care to.
Even it's true, and I believe it is, who cares? Ben can't be a both a philanthropist and hard-assed business man in one lifetime? Human beings are complex.
It has been a long time since Ben and Jerry's was "as pure as the driven snow."
Incidentally, I lived in Texas and had a friend who worked for a small ice cream rival by the name of "Emack and Bolio" - not very catchy, right? Anyflurg, said friend was asked to don a moose costume and stand outside in the hot-houston-swamp-hell-air to hand out coupons. He did said task, and shortly had to be taken to the hospital - due to dehydration and overheating.
Just goes to show you - you can only trust ice cream companies free of catchy multiple proper nouns in the title.
