M. R. SellarsApologies to Thomas Dolby for borrowing the phrase, “Aliens Ate My Buick…” and then mucking about with it. (Fantastic CD, BTW…)
I know The Supreme Redhead is a conundrum. I accept this. After 25 plus years together, I’ve pretty much grown used to it. However, I’m pretty sure that this time she’s been abducted by aliens and replaced by an equally hot, equally evil, but not quite the same fembot.
You see, for 25 plus years, Her Supreme Evilness, THE E K, has been a fan of Ham and Swiss. That was her thing. Now, of course, when she decided she wanted to be a little more food healthy she switched to Turkey and Swiss. No big deal. She was still doing the whole Blank and Swiss thing, be it Turkey, or the occasional Ham. Since I prepare her lunch each day – usually a smoked turkey (or occasionally ham) and Swiss with Portobello mushroom and various other veggies in a whole wheat wrap – I tend to ask her if she’d like something different. Every now and then it’s Tuna Salad, Egg Salad, or my signature Curried Chicken/Turkey Salad. Sometimes it’s just straight veggies, or even some leftover Vegetable Korma in a wrap.
HOWEVER, when it comes to the lunch meat and cheese combo, it’s always Turkey or Ham and Swiss. Do not deviate under threat of pain, or even a stiletto heel through the temple.
Okay… I get that. I like consistency too.
So imagine my surprise, shock, and outright horror when, while grocery shopping this past weekend, without prompting from me, or anyone else, she picked out Pastrami and Muenster for her daily lunch wraps. Especially since I had suggested Pastrami several times in the past, only to be told, “I… Don’t… Like… Pastrami… Lackey! Now, just for that get down on the floor and give me twenty!”
Twenty “whats” I’m never quite sure, which then results in a healthy beating, but that’s just life with THE Redhead.
Yeah… She’s having Pastrami and Muenster today… Well, I guess I should say Evil Alien Fembot E K is having Pastrami and Muenster today. I don’t know what actual, real live Evil E K is having.
I do, however, suspect that the aliens are regretting their decision and will be returning her shortly. Wonder what they’ll give me to take her back?
Aww, who am I kidding? She’s probably already declared herself their Queen and has them all chained up in the dungeon.
More to come…

If I may make another menu suggestion, try Volpi Salami with Provel ( a uniquely St. Louis sandwich) or one I have been wanting to try but haven’t gotten the ingredients together ( my house is boycotting ham for a while having lost a beloved dog to a ham bone) Pear, Brie and Jambon (ham). and yes, our tastes change Murv, If I were still eating my usual lunch from when I was 20 I’d still be eating a double cheese brazier burger and large fries with a large Tab every day. (hmm)
