I ended up not resuming my Diet To Go meals on Sunday--another migraine and instead started the work week off by resuming my Diet To Go meals and taking another shot at "Day 3."
The lunch I picked was the Chicken Philly Sub which comes with peach pudding. I have got to say that in its vacuum packed state and even after it is really unappetizing. Also, the thought of microwaving bread sounded gross. I could stick it in a conventional oven but neither had the patience to wait nor did I want to deal with using the toaster oven at work. Microwaving is just easier.
The Philly Sub comes with sliced chicken on a roll, a slice of cheese wrapped in plastic, and a side of tri-colored bell peppers and onions. As I believe I already shared, I do not like bell peppers so when I assembled the sandwich, I placed the cheese on the chicken and picked out the onions to put on. I threw out the peppers.
After assembling the sandwich, I microwaved it for 3 minutes but before the time was up heard it "popping" and saw that a lot of the cheese had melted out and was getting hard. I'm starting to learn that the Diet To Go times (always 2-4 minutes when thawed) are either too long or the work microwave is too high. I pulled it out before time was up and some of the cheese and the roll was hard as a rock.
The sandwich also comes with a honey mustard mayo. It was a weird congealed texture, but I put it on. Despite the texture flaws and completely unappetizing experience, the sub wasn't too bad. I might elect to substitute it with something else in the future but I had really low expectations and was pleasantly surprised it wasn't as bad as I thought. The honey mustard mayo helped the flavor and was especially useful in making the hard parts of the bread edible.
As far as the peach pudding goes, it was essentially canned peaches with "pudding" which was just a weird, white gloppy texture mixed in that didn't add much flavor. It wasn't bad, it just also was not particularly appetizing looking.
Overall, I would say the meal was just "eh." If I find a lunch I really like, I will definitely be substituting the next time this week comes around.
