Song of the Week XXX

This week, we debut a new theme, going down alphabetically as sorted by the computer. First up is the quotation marked song "From Now On We Are Enemies" by Fall Out Boy. The song is about a boy who is born into royalty, and is resented for the easy life. Many people do not know the boy, but despise him anyway. The child has a crown on his head before the age of 10, sparking even more outrage from the people. However, the kid knows that he is just one in a royal line, and repeats throughout the song that he will be forgotten eventually. This leaves a twist of pity in the song, but not enough to pity the royalty. This feature will run again next week.

Sandwich Showdown 27 & 28

This should be a pretty well packed showdown from the last two weeks of time. The first week pitted an Italian BMT on Italian against an Oven Roasted Chicken on Herbs and Cheese. The BMT was very strong throughout, doing the standard double BBQ Sauce, from both Subway and KC Masterpiece. The next day, the Chicken came out strong as well, utilizing both sauces even more persuasively. The advantage in taste just goes to the Chicken for that week. This week, we had three sandwiches up for the glory, as a Subway Melt on Herbs and Cheese led off, followed by a Turkey and Ham on Wheat, and rounded out by a Steak and Cheese on Herbs and Cheese. The Melt had the two sauce combo going for it, and was toasted for added effect. The flavors were good, but the bread seemed to slip a bit from par. The Turkey and Ham cashed in on the two-sauce, two-meat idea and exceeded very well on wheat bread. The Steak and Cheese made a valiant effort, replacing KC Masterpiece with Peco's, but fell short of the precedent set by the Turkey and Ham. This should return next week.
