schnitzel month days 3, 4, and 5


chickens with mustard
cucumbers
tatersalad
since the schnitzel truck menu doesn't specify what kind of mustard they serve,
i prepared myself accordingly:
"don't fret, self," i said on the bike ride to the truck,
"their schnitzel is fantastic,
it's ok if their mustard is flawed. 
whatever qualities their mustard lacks, they can make up in schnitzel...
don't freak out too much if the mustard pairing isn't perfect, ok?"
 i was scared--really scared--that i would soon find the flaw in the schnitzel truck.
but
you'll all be relieved to know that schnitzel truck's mustard is indeed the perfect schnitzel mustard.
{it is hot}
phew.
pork&pesto
there were three layers of meat on this sandwich.
are the schnitzelmen trying to kill me?
i dissected it and reconstructed it to better pace myself.
it was fine,
but the whole time,
the tiny rabbi in me begged me to go back to chicken.
bratwurst 
sauerkraut
mustard
double points for there being enough mustard on this weenie.
triple points for this being good enough that if the schnitzel men wanted to open the bratwurst truck,
it would absolutely rival the schnitzel truck.

i'm just really glad that i have something to hold me over on the days when i get tired of schnitzel.
{not that that is even close to happening...}

....................

if i stick to my schedule,
i should try cod tomorrow.
but part of me wants to just go for the schnitzburger and see what happens.
i'll see how i feel tomorrow.

schnitzel month day 2


you know those times when you just feel like you're a four year old boy?

that's how i feel when i ride the molly mobile to the schnitzel truck!
i ride {zoom zoom!} as fast as i can,
and my head bobs back and forth,
and i sing the schnitzel song!

{the schnitzel song is like the office's "fashion show at lunch,"
except replace "fashion show" with "schnitzel truck"}

anywho,
today i was unusually hungry.
i think my stomach stretching schnitzburger preparations are working.
so i got:

a chicken schnitzel platter 
with ginger, scallion & garlic relish,
and taters two ways
{fries and salad}

everything was excellent
 {naturally, even though i missed the donut-like ciabatta}

the relish was very refreshing it made a schnitzel as refreshing as a schnitzel can be on a hot day like this.
the fries were just how i like them {stupidly salty. a fry can never be too salty}
and the tatersalad wasn't your typical suburban american barbecue mayonnaise festival. i mean i'm no expert in the kartoffelsalat, but this was more mashed potato-y and yummy!


tomorrow, 
i abandon kosher and move on to pork 
{and back to the sandwich}

schnitzel month day 1


chicken schnitzel sandwich
with
spicy mayo

holy poopcakes.
i had forgotten how good this is.
the schnitzel from the schnitzel & things truck is some of the best in the city,
and i'm really happy i was reminded of that today because
otherwise
this month would be lame-o.

i see more sandwiches than platters coming my way in the next few weeks...
i just don't see how i will be able to get over this ciabatta bread!
it's so soft ,
and a little bit sweet.
i see it wanting to be a donut.

.............

i've been pondering what i should eat when i'm not eating my daily schnitzel,
and i think it should be one of two things:

1. nothing
2. vegetables

also,
i think i'm going to need to limit myself on the mayo
because if i'm actually going to try to not let myself go completely:
{fried things + mayo things}x 30 < {fried things + all other condiments}x 30  

then again
if i'm going for tasties:
{fried things + mayo things}x 30 > {fried things + all other condiments}x 30 


regardless.
when i finished my sammich today,
the only thing i could think about was
what am i getting tomorrow?! 


xoxo


yeh




today is the best day of my life.


i just won a month of free schnitzel from
 the schnitzel & things truck 
i'm speechless.
and so so excited.
do you know what this means?

1. i am going to try every single item on their menu. multiple times.

2. i am going to get fat 

3. i am going to be friends with the schnitzel truck men!
{food truck people are the coolest people}

4. i am going to have more money to spend at restaurant week! 
{*see number 2 again}

holy crap this is even better than the time i went on the bozo show.

stay tuned for 
schnitzel porn!

i love you all so much.
