year of the egg
04/11/2009 = 02:11 PM

Last year, I instituted a new holiday in Golfwidowism called Whichcamefirstday. Designed to coincide with the Saturday before Easter, the traditional observance calls for half a serving of egg salad and half a serving of chicken salad, on the same plate. Close your eyes, spin the plate (gently, people, we want to see which came first, not whether they can fly), and take a blind bite.

I had a little trouble this year. You see, instead of celebrating at home, we decided to go to Tommy Pastrami, where they don't do half-servings of anything.

I mean, you know how Starbucks calls their small coffee a Tall? Sort of the opposite of that.

Tommy Pastrami's "lite" portion is about twice as much as I eat in one sitting.

That said, I ordered a Trio Salad, under the assumption that a) I'd be taking at least half of it home anyway, and b) I was taking a chance that this year could, potentially, wind up being the Year of the Tuna.

It didn't, though. There was an absolutely clear winner.

I mean, you know how the US Presidential Elections in 2000 and 2004 went? Sort of the opposite of that.

2008 was the Year of the Chicken. And 2009 is, definitively, the Year of the Egg.
