My New Favorite Sandwich ( For those with more ecclectic tastes)

Now you all may be thinking, "This should be interesting", because for those of you who know me, know that I have more of an acquired taste for food, ( Thanks to my wonderful Father, I love you Dad!!). I came upon this delectable delight while hanging out at the Cherry's apartment. Caleb came strolling out of the kitchen with what seemed to be an ordinary sandwich....until he said what's in it. Are you ready for this "Peanut Butter, Jelly, Cheese, Relish, and Mustard." WHAT!!!!??!?!?! Who would eat such a thing? how could that be good? But of course, being the curious person that I am, I said, "Really, let me get a bite."

I tell you now my friends that this is the best Sandwich I have ever had. I don't know how it works, but it does. Somehow, the Jam and Peanut butter work as a neutral against the relish and mustard, and the cheese just sets it all in place. I knew Jersh wasn't going to try it, so the only other person I could think of was my Dad. And the final verdict is....

He LOVES it!!! " How can we capitalize on this thing?" he says. I agree, that this should be a special in some deli somewhere because it's too good to keep to yourself.

So, are you surprised?.... of course not, because it's me, and I like some crazy things. But as the old saying goes.... Don't knock till you try it!!

One World Cafe and the Hat Parade!!!

In our search to try and make Pullman/Moscow a place called "Home", Jershon and I have found a cute little cafe in downtown Moscow called One World Cafe. Equipped with a chalkboard menu, Hodge podge furniture, an eclectic collection of books, and quirky additives like doors hanging from the ceilings. Now one would say "Cafes like this are a dime a dozen in Seattle," but we're not in Seattle, so limited as we are, I have dedicated this place my little piece of heaven...well, until further updates.
Aside from the lovely character this cafe provides, they also have live music every Friday and Saturday night. Now, it's pretty hit and miss, so thank goodness these gigs are free. However, this last weekend was actually quite entertaining, not only for the music ( The singer was John Treasure, look him up if you're interested), but the abundance of women and their floppy hats. As I looked around the cafe, I noticed that every woman that was either there or arriving, had on a winter hat. Our friends who had joined us, the Cherry's, also noticed this phenomenon (Jershon however noticed nothing, he was distracted by the catalog he found which was a Beanie baby's price book, turns out the Monkey is the most expensive beanie priced at over $3000, what's wrong with these people!!!) So we asked ourselves "Was there a dress code that needs to be adhered to? was there an email list we should have joined? How were we not aware of this fashion trend"

Eventually we decided the music was too chill for our moods and also feeling vulnerable with out a floppy hat of my own, we decided to leave. All in all, it was a wonderful night, and we will definitely remember to have something to adorn the heads for future reference.
