2? no 3?

Putting in 10 hour + days at artLA can work up quite an appetite. However, it’s in Santa Monica which might as well be Karachi as far as I know. Luckily we were tipped off to a little heath food store that makes sandwiches and that worked out great on Thursday. Well, for the most part - Caryn and I ordered the same thing but she wanted onions, I didn’t. Both sandwiches came sans-onion. No biggie really.

Yesterday when I went for lunch I decided I was going to get Caryn her onions. So I place the order…
Me: Two avocado sandwiches
guy: OK
Me: One with onions, one without
guy: OK, so three total sandwiches?
Me: No. Two sandwiches. One with just avocado and one with avocado AND onions.
guy: right, two avocado one onion. three total.
Me: NO! Only Two.
guy: ?
Me: Look.. one sandwich I want to have avocado AND onions, just on that one sandwich - the other JUST avocado.
guy: AH! OK.

He made the sandwiches and I took them back to the art fair, where we found we had two avocado sandwiches, neither with any onion.

    Next time ask for three onion sandwiches, hold the avocados. That should just about do it.

    I’m sorry you didn’t get your sandwiches, but I sympathize with the guy. Sometimes your brain just refuses to take orders! ;-)

    Thanks for recommending. We had a great time and your booth looked great; the Rachell Sumpter paintings were right at my eyeline (tricky of you!)
