The scale I used to weigh myself at the beginning of February was here, so I checked my weight. I had gained one pound during February, the month of eating in. I was already wondering and worrying about how much weight I would gain from a month of eating out.

After a month of turkey sandwiches, cup of soup and tuna pasta, I was pretty excited to start the "eating out" experiment. For my first lunch out, I drove out to Corti Brother's Import Specialty Store and Deli.

It took about eight minutes to order and receive my sandwich, and it cost $4.82 for the sandwich and a Faygo Orange Soda.

I could have made a sandwich faster myself, but I don't think it would have been this tasty, and I would have had to do the dishes.

Our favorite place to get them is the Naked Lounge, at 15th and Q st.
