starbucks grandma's turkey sandwich
apparently, starbucks has intro'd products that aren't successful. i know i know: hard to comprehend (i can barely fathom it myself). but on a scale of great, greater, or greatest, this new holiday-edition Starbucks Grandma's Turkey Sandwich merits a mere "great". while nifty in concept - whole grain bread, "homestyle" turkey, stuffing, cran sauce - the um execution, not so much. there's just a ton of stuffing. and said stuffing is very-very moist; you hardly notice the turkey at all. and it's sloppy. it's a sandwich whose filling basically = wet bread. a bread sandwich, if you will. but let's put on a happy face (this IS starbucks we're talking about, after all). overall, its sandwich program is xlnt, and don't forget sbux' proclivity for intro'ing new prods thus keeping blogs like this afloat

What a great idea! Introduce a bad version of the sandwich everyone dreads after Thanksgiving, just before Thanksgiving.
Next in the queue: champagne capuccino, intro'd on January 2?
By the way, is it getting warm in here?
I would like to applaud Kirk for his witty commentary. Meanwhile, why is that Okie Senator all over the place these days, insisting that GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX!?!!
kirk, ms.ery offers some additional jean-shopping options for you in a comment posted under the "Lucerne yogurts" entry. in case you missed that. comments from ms.ery are so few and far between that we should savor each and every word
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY SUBLIME POST, IF NOW DOWNRIGHT SUBLIMINAL.
HEY, Jet parking is FULL at Fiumicino. Please re-route smaller planes to Ciampino. Those with larger craft will have to land at Pescara or maybe even Palermo, but we will have choppers standing by to ferry you to the lake. Yachts may still berth in the usual places and we will have limos available. Please remember to observe the no-fly zone over France. And thanks to you who jet-pooled to save on fuel.
It's gonna be hot in the city, tonight!
TG: Thanks for the heads up.
Ms.Ery: I've never been much of a thrift-shop shopper, but I may have to change my ways.
Ex-coworker: You may find this link of interest:

The senator is, most likely, one of the crew claiming that any science he doesn't like is "faulty" science.
Do NOT park in the driveway, people. Jesus christ.
Hey pretty boy! I think you meant to say "Do NOT park in the driveway, people. L.Ron Hubbard."
You tell him, girl!
Some of you stupidly didn't bring satellite phones and we're having a hard time contacting you with the schedule (attn: WILL SMITH). Dinner is in an hour, so get ready. Afterward there's drinks, some entertainment and then the limbo contest. LIMBO! Woo-HAH! Get ready to GET DOWN.
I've also been told there's a little girl wandering around on the front lawn and crying. Her name appears to be kate ... katie ... something.
GET READY TO PARTY!
Speaking of ms.ery, this must be where she spends all her free time when not NYCE ing.

I had absolutely nothing to do with this sandwich.

You gotta be crazy - or you got a dud sandwich. I'm addicted this thing.
The three I've eaten each had thick slices of turkey (seemingly cut right from the bird - not pressed lunch meat), moist-but-not-sloppy stuffing, and firm dry bread. Delicious.
My one complaint is that it's a small sandwich for $5.95. But then again, I regularly pay $3 for 25 cent's worth of milk and coffee...
I actually just had this and really enjoyed it - I thought it was realllyyy yummmy. So maybe its just the starbucks you went to :/
They discontinued it. I'm so bummed!
I would microwave the stuff inside and toss the bread to the birds, who liked it. It was yum!
Admittedly, it was a total rip-off, but what at Starbuck's isn't?
