lost, found, & a tasty sandwich

Church tonight ran a little later than usual so I missed my first bus which messed up the connecting to the second bus I take home. Long story short, church gets out at 7p so I'm usually home before 8. Tonight I didn't get home until almost 9:30 and Dad freaked out a little. I walked in the door and he immediately hugged me and wouldn't let go. I was surprised because missing the bus has happened before and he didn't get emotional that time. He said something about a missing kid on the news (I haven't heard) so maybe that contributed. But anyway, here I am, safe and sound.

Yesterday for lunch I made a peculiar sandwich. There's nothing quick (meaning frozen/microwavable) in the apartment so I had to do some creative thinking. I started with bologna and cheese but I toasted the bread. But that didn't seem quite enough, then I saw we have a bag of apples in the fridge. Little red and yellow stripedy things a bit smaller than a billiard ball. I thought, "Apples go good with cheese and also with Miracle Whip (ever have Waldorf Salad?)." So I grabbed an apple, quartered it, cut out the bits of core and sliced it really thin, peel and all. When the bread was done I spread a thin layer of Whip on each slice, then put down apples, cheese and one slice of bologna. Whooo-boy is that good. I don't know if I'm the first to discover it or if it's just never been named, but it's a nice variation on the old Bologna & Cheese.
