Try The Turkey—It’s Amazing

This past Monday, I was lucky enough to have the day off from work. (Thank you, Dr. King!) I had been looking forward to my long weekend, planning on sleeping in, relaxing, getting together with friends…and on Saturday morning, I woke up at 4am to find myself with a case of the sickies. Yep, that nasty stomach-flu-virus-thing that everyone and their dog has had found its way into my system. Gross. And not fun. So, Saturday and Sunday were pretty much spent resting and recovering, but I managed to salvage some of my long weekend on Monday. I was feeling better and wanted to get out of the house!

 

I met my friend Crystal for lunch. We wanted to try something new (I’d say we’re both pretty adventurous regarding food), so I chose Bloomsbury Bistro in Prairie Village. Neither of us had been there, or even heard of it, but a review on Urban Spoon claimed it had the “best turkey sandwich” the reviewer had ever had. I have to admit, I thought to myself, “hmmm…turkey sandwiches aren’t that memorable or impressive, but if someone spent the time to write it, it’s worth a try.” So, off we went, in search of the Bistro.

 

It’s actually located in the Mission Road Antique Mall, which I never even knew existed. (It's at 83rd and Mission Road, across from Corinth Square, if you're interested.) We had some time before our table was ready, so Crystal and I browsed the wares. It was huge! Tons of fun things to look at.  My favorites were the collection of furs (of course, didn’t get a pic), and the room of stained glass. So pretty!

 

{Loved the colors!}

{Speaking of stuff, here's the "guy's decor" corner...
turtle shells, antlers and dried out alligator heads, oh my!}

{Love-love-loving so much about this set-up}

After perusing for a while, we sat down and checked out the menu. We both decided to try the “best turkey sandwich”, and pair it with a bowl of soup. It may not look like it, but I would have to agree with whoever said it first—the sandwich was amazing! Carved turkey, sliced pear, creamy brie and tangy honey mustard dressing on a crusty, whole wheat slice. Crystal and I both agreed we’d come back, just for the turkey. The soup was good, too—homemade noodles, chicken and veggies. And for dessert (why not? It was a holiday!), we shared key lime pie. I know, I know—in January? In Kansas? It was delish. Not too sweet, very citrusy and tangy. It was a lovely lunch date.

{I know it doesn't look like much. But it really was the best turkey sandwich EVER.}

After lunch, I ventured out to Nebraska Furniture Mart with a few key pieces in mind, and emerged victorious. I’ll share my new living room-redo next time!
