la.foodblogging

I haven’t really had anything to post about recently because I just haven’t gone anywhere. I had my last day of work on Friday (Anyone looking for an employee?). I spent the last month frantically trying to get everything in order at the office and then train my replacement, and then I spent the last week being ill. Suffice it to say, there wasn’t a lot of dining out during this period.

But being too tired/sick to cook dinner or even go get it, I was able to revisit my good old stand-by, yummy.com. And I thought, “Why isn’t this good enough for a blog posting?”

Well, actually, it is. Yummy.com is grocery delivery service, like Pink Dot or the short-lived kozmo.com. But Yummy stands out to me by having product that’s actually worth paying someone to deliver to my door. They have a variety of grocery products and offer premium brands, like Evolution fresh soup, and Izze soda, and local favorites, such as La Brea bakery bread.

They also have sandwiches and salads in their deli section. The above pictured sandwich is their mozzarella and pesto sandwich, described as follows: “Fresh bocconcini mozzarella is sliced and placed on a bed of mixed greens, sliced tomatoes and fresh basil. Served on our rustic roll with all natural basil pesto.” Sounds good, right? It was good. Especially since I could customize it by ordering a package of prosciutto and adding to my sandwich. 

Seriously, Yummy has been my friend since it’s inception. They have kept me getting my nutrients during the times when I am too busy/stressed/incapacitated to get them myself. In the thick of final exams, bar exam, busy work weeks, whatever the thing that consumes all my energy, it’s nice to have an alternative to the standard Pizza/asian delivery dichotomy. I can get fresh fruit, and salads. I can get dinner, and supplies for the next few days. I can even get some household supplies that I am missing, while I am feeding myself.

I love Yummy, so please everyone use it. I don’t want it to go away!
