Seafood Sandwich

This recipe is not only a no cook recipe, but is one of my favorite things to make for lunch. I'm a typical college student who is strapped for time so I don't like to cook for lunch. I find that Safeway sells this amazing seafood salad in their meat section; it's $5.99 and it makes up to four sandwiches. Plus, it's about the same price as a package of deli meat. Here's a picture of it:


For some reason, I wouldn't want to tweak this combination of ingredients. Each element seems to go really well with the others, plus the potato bread, seafood salad, cheese, and avocado are such a pretty combination of summery colors.

This day, I ate Pink Lady apples with my sammy. It was the first time that I tried them. I usually like to eat Fuji apples, but I decided to branch out. Apparently, Jennifer Connelly has said that she eats 3 of them a day. I liked them too, but not THAT much!

Pink Lady apples have a really interesting background. First of all, I must say they really are pink! They have a really distinct flavor - kind of sour but still pretty sweet. According to orangepippin.com... "The marketing effort has particularly targeted young women, and has resulted in Pink Lady apples being promoted in such unlikely settings as the Glastonbury music festival, as well as in women's magazines, and cross-marketed with Barbie dolls. Pink Lady even has its own website - www.pinkladyapples.co.uk. The marketing effort for Pink Lady focuses on lifestyle rather than flavour, and having achieved about 10% of the UK market in a very short space of time, it is clearly working." It's so weird how the color pink is like every marketing executive's dream. There's the pink blackberry phone, the pink Nintendo DS, "Pink" the Victoria's Secret brand... How funny that it actually works!
