It all began with a plane ride…


I’m not very fond of plane rides. But luckily this one (well, two– we had a short layover in London) was a nighttime flight, so I didn’t feel like a day was wasted. Mostly I passed the time on the flights by sleeping. But look what I picked up for lunch at Heathrow Airport:

This hummus, carrot, and mixed green sandwich (on whole-grain bread) made for a terrific portable meal. And I was impressed that it (along with many of the other foods for sale in the airport) had a little “V” on the box to denote its vegetarian-ness.

I know this was a short post, but I’m rushing off to organize some stuff in my new apartment. School is starting again TOO SOON! What happened to summer???

    I agree that school is coming way too soon! That’s so cool that you go to school with Nastia Liukin and very exciting that you found that sandwich for lunch…with a “V” on it!!

    I wish Nastia would come visit TCU, haha! I can’t wait to hear about the rest of your travels…that sandwich sounds delicious!! Rest up, girl, and good luck with moving everything back in your apartment!

    mmm, hummus and carrot! that’s such a good combination! I wish those sandwiches were everywhere to find. Life would be a lot easier!

    It’s always amazing to me that something so simple and delicious (like hummus and carrot) is so hard to find as a “convenience” food! Nice find!! 🙂

    PS-I am totally in awe of Nastia Liukin.

    Nastia is amazing! When you finally meet her, please tell her I watched her win the gold medal.

    I know classes start soon, but I hope you’ll find a few minutes to share some more pictures of your trip. The ship is beautiful.

  8. Jenn says:

    Wow that is so cool that you go to school with Nastia! She will probably be a lot easier to spot around campus because now she probably will have an entourage ;o) She seems so sweet and she did such an amazing job last night!

    And that airport option is one of the best I’ve ever seen!

  9. Bianca says:

    Good to know that planes have veggie meals. I’ve never flown longer than an hour, so I’ve never eaten on the plane. Actually, I’ve only flown once. But when I do again, I hope I’m on a flight with veg options.
