Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!

Mind Games
Saturday, November 17, 2007
One of the things about growing up in the new north end was witnessing the evolution of the Ethan Allen shopping center. There used to be a flea market on the north side of the parking lot every Sunday. I used to hit the Carvelle Ice Cream sometimes after the flea market. Of course nobody had ever heard of Hannaford back then. We had a Grand Union supermarket that gave out horse race tickets with your order. You could watch the race on TV and if your horse won, you'd win money. And of course, this was the heyday of the old Hills clothing store and the now recently deceased Ben Franklin variety store. Then there was that bakery where the old World War II veterans used to spend all day, every day. I didn't have celiac disease then, and their doughnuts and cupcakes were to die for.
Do you remember the video game arcade that was there in the early eighties? It was called Mind Games. It has all the lighted blips, loud flashes and smokey smells of its time and place. That was the first place I ever overheard a weed transaction. I must have been nine or ten. My older brother Greg, now a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army, was addicted to a game called Warlords. I played Defender and Ms. Pacman and pinball.
To this day I can't get into modern, complicated video games. I'm still just Ms. Pacman, Tetris and simple shit like that. I can't get invested in some fantasy crap. Let's fact it, I'm too lazy for reality. Why would I spend effort on fantasy?
Anyway- that was my post on Mind Games, the old arcade in the shopping center. I hope you enjoyed it.
Having spent some time there (and the bakery after words for some cookies) with my older brother, I certainly know of what you speak. Was too young to understand what various crimes were taking place, or that the WWII vets were killing themselves and me with their incessant smoking. But, that was a great place of which I have fond, and unequaled memories.
I have a feeling I am the older brother in the previous comment. Ah, I had TOTALLY FORGOTTEN about those race tickets, what a memory. I still have fishing lures I bought with my allowance money from that flea market (must be 30y ago).
Mind Games. Loved that place. Once spent all day raking leaves for $20 and blew it all there in 30m. I remember when the poster above and I went in there when he must have been 6 or so...he spotted a quarter someone had dropped on the ground and jumped up and down, not knowing what to do. Our next door neighbor saw him and took it. Dink.
I remember saving my dimes nickels and pennies, until I had 32 cents - enough for a creme filled donut (with powdered confectioners sugar on top) from the bakery. I used to like when I'd get one that had a slightly crusty top to it - which eventually I learned meant that it was sitting there for a while (day olds?). It always had a smell - a combination of old smoke, confectioners sugar, and maybe a little yeast, that reminded me of the donut. Wonder what it would have been like if I ever had sat down at the counter ...
