Zaria's Tuna Melt @ Subway

     Helloooooo again! Excuse the massive gap in posts, I've been in the after graduation shuffle thus, unfortunately, broke. Of course low funds means cutting back on eating out :o( BUT, in an interesting change of events, I've realized that I can keep this thing going and make my blog "poverty friendly" by doing posts on the delicious treats made by everyday people. We all know some of (if not all of) the best food is made with a personal touch. Homegrown. Down South. Or in a hole in the wall somewhere like my absolute favorite West African restaurant, Sumah's in DC (but that's another post). Considering this, I'm going to now include any and all Mouthgasms, not just restaurants....enjoy :o)

    *Sigh* So I'm back in DC, my beloved second home, on this job hunt. I've been on a rollercoaster ride of straight bullsh*t since graduation and I refuse to settle for mediocrity. In between applying for additional jobs and prepping for interviews, you know I haaaad to reach out to the HU homies in the area! After about a week and a half of keeping my alter "Patricia Dawn" under control, I ended up sharing 'Christmas presents' with Queen Sawdayah and a new friend, Zaria. Zaria is a senior Print Journalism major at HU's illustrious John H. Johnson School of Communications. It's always great to meet new, intriguing people and Zaria is just that. As I got to know her, she reminded me so much of myself.  Her sense of humor, paranoid tweaks and being a stickler for last names in the Contacts list was like I was looking into my very own personality mirror. This was only solidified when I tried her bomb ass recipe for a tuna melt at Subway...delicious fooood!

            This is not an actual photo but it looks tasty, no? Geneva (my phone) threw a hissy fit, and decided not to work.

       Let me also add that I've never been a fan of tuna melts. Something about hot fish with cheese on it didn't sit well with me. BUT when I tell you I've never shoved something down my throat so smoothly...yeah. It was the sloppiest, most delicious mess I've ever eaten. Completely yummy. I'm definitely gonna swap up my tunas with this recipe, my own tuna seems kinda boring in comparison. (Toasted wheat with salt and pepper on the tuna, lettuce, tomato and pickle....in case you were wondering. What? Shut up, you'll never be the man your mother is! :oP)
