No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

1/8 muffuletta for $14.50 ($98 for a massive 12-inch round sandwich

I checked my local favorite muffaletta substitute and it's $18 for what looks to me like approximately the same volume of sandwich I would expect from a quarter muffaletta, which might be less than a 12-inch round. Trying to imagine all those comparisons is not something I'm going to be able to do accurately. But I feel like $50 for a muffaletta is reasonable, and maybe actually low because my sense of what is reasonable is probably wrong, and double for being in San Francisco is to be expected? IDK

$14.50 doesn't seem outrageous for a try-size mushroom, cheese, and olive salad sandwich, though the mayo would ward me off effectively regardless. I think I'll be sticking with my certainty that Central Grocery's are the best.

Our wings are not tired.

I've never eaten a Muffaletta. Wasn't a thing when I was a kid in central NY, then most of my adult life I didn't eat meat. I would happily down an olive and cheese sandwich though.

I am finally feeling better after two weeks of being sick, and now TCG is sick. ltc was sick approximately two weeks before I was. It would have been much easier if we had all just been sick and miserable at the same time so we didn’t lose out on all of our fun Autumn plans.

Health~ma to the teacup family. I'm sorry it has been a tough few weeks.

Thanks. ltc is really disappointed that we won’t be going to the Horror book festival tomorrow. It’s usually the highlight of spooky season for us.

Aw, that stinks, sj. Hope he feels better soon and that you all sail through the rest of the season ick free.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

And while the $98 seems high, $15 for 1/8 seems reasonable to me, (although while eating 1/8 of a muffaletta does make sense I somehow feel like selling less than a quarter is not right) so I don't even know

For comparison, I could get *5* 12" pizzas with mushrooms, olives, and extra cheese for the same price as one of these ridiculous sandwiches. ($15 for a lunch-sized portion of food is, sadly, a very normal price in SF or NYC, but that doesn't make it RIGHT.)

Well, now I'm wondering if my local pizza prices are high

My actual lunch today is turkey and havarti on whole wheat for approximately $3 if I remember my grocery run correctly
