Mr. Cliff

Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch flavored Cliff Bar. Ah, my savior. I forgot to eat lunch. Not that I forgot, but I didn't really want to and then it became late and the tofu sandwich that Jory gave me was good for the moment but it didn't last. So, I resorted to Cliff from the guy at the corner store who always remembers my name but I can't seem to quite remember his (nice guy though--said he'll let me know when his new shipment of beads comes in). But, Cliff Bars can only do so much and they're not really all that great. A bit grainy. A bit dry. A bit too sweet. And, no peanuts nor cholcolate chips to speak of for a Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch bar.

The tofu sandwich, however, was a different story. As I was talking outloud, professing how much I just wanted half a sandwich, Jory reached into his backpack and, viola, half a sandwich magically appeared. Sure, I wasn't totally thrilled by a tofu sandwich, not that I have anything against tofu, but this sandwich was quite a tofu treat. Tasty foccacia bread that wasn't too dry or greasy. Pickles that weren't soggy. Something that seemed to be a pesto but I can't quite say it was a pesto. And, for a bit of crunch, a leaf of lettuce (a real leaf, not just some shreded stuff). All wrapped in plastic.
