What's For Lunch?
late lunch today:
greens/ feta/ strips of leftover steak/ basalmic vinagrette
followed by a big glass of Silk chocolate soymilk
monteray chicken and garlic mashed taters. Vitamin water.
Your basic turkey, american cheese, and mayo sandwich on rye bread. Peanuts. Grapes. Water to drink.
Picnic at the pool. Very nice.
Leftover miso soup and a juicebox (apple).
Drunk turkey sando ( the turkey was injected with cajun butter and cooked on our beer can chicken/turkey cooker ) on a whole wheat bun , a little mayo and a sprinkle of salt , plain chips and a coke YUM !!!!!!!
toasted ham and cheese with fries and a Pepsi
What's it like eating on the road so much?
A Mom's Special from Mom's Deli (4412 Jamieson Ave., St. Louis, MO 63109 USA...sorry, no website): ham, roast beef, turkey, munchee cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and homemade 1000 Island dressing on French bread. $4.95 plus tax. Voted the best deli in St. Louis for something like 15 straight years.
A spinach salad, with sesame dressing. I thought we were having spaghetti and meatballs for dinner tonight, so I went with a light lunch. Now I'm starving, and I just found out...no spaghetti and meatballs. :sniff:
So, Mr. Blue is currently doubled over in pain from you kicking him in the nads over no spaghetti? :)
Don't give me any ideas! I'm just cranky enough...
I'm going to have leftover chip-shop chips (chunky fried chipped potatoes, not french fries) from last night. Reheated in the microwave at work. Can't wait - they're really salt & vinegary and will make the whole place smell like a chip-shop.
Although am having tea & biscuits until I clear this mailout from my desk - chip grease is not really appreciated on letters to GPs.
What's it like eating on the road so much?
lots of comfort foods, which are not doing my waistline any good.
There are tricks to finding a good place to eat on the road, several of which involve the use of my CB and THIRD ANTENNA. I am also amused at the four wheel travelers who think that any place a trucker eats just HAS to be good! :neutral:
My favorite trick, however, involves the creative use of my crock pot for hot meals for little money. I budget $100/week for eats, although I met a gf for lunch yesterday and wound up spending a C note on lunch at Chilies, a place that I usually avoid. Payoff: she brought two friends and I didn't get back "home" until midnight! :thumb2:

I guess that would make it a 'classic club'?:p
an update on the
a girl in every port concept!
a gf
lol..how many gf's you got B?
Define "gf".
At last count, I have girls of some description in fifteen cities across the US, none are serious and only one wants to get married. That would be the one who can't even advance an opinion on a movie without testing to see what *I* thought first.
I think I'll pass on marriage for, oh, say, FOREVER! I learned my lesson.

Resurrecting this thread because my lunch today is so good I had to share it (virtually, which is always best when there isn't enough to go round).
Marks & Spencers Chicken Dopiaza - because at £1.89 it was silly not to. And a bathura - big fluffy Indian bread -from the vegetarian restaurant (
Halli) round the corner.
Both courtesy of my ex Manager who gave me some money for lunch like a sort of surrogate Dad.
I'm having homemade veggie soup. Sooooooooooo good and so good for you! :)
I just had sliced turkey w/ slice of american cheese on wheat, bag of sunchips, and diet coke. I'm trying SO hard to be good! A big greasy tenderloin was calling my name. [/willpower]
Homemade 15 bean soup of ass destruction, including not only 15 different beans but also smoked ham, onion, garlic, stewed tomatoes and chili powder. 6 hours after eating it, nobody will be remaining in your area.
sandwich brought from home, some pretzels, and a cup of water.
Homemade 15 bean soup
I had no idea that there are 15 different kinds of beans. Man, you learn something every day!

Unless it's just 15 beans.
either green lemonade and herbs at home . . .
or Mexican with co-workers.
Homemade 15 bean soup
I made 15 bean soup a couple of weeks ago (with 2 ham hocks, carrots, onions etc..). I gave it to my kids for luch and they proceeded to eat it bean-by-bean, quizzing me on the name of each one.
I had a cheese quesadilla from
El Burrito Loco...good stuff!
Homemade 15 bean soup of ass destruction, including not only 15 different beans but also smoked ham, onion, garlic, stewed tomatoes and chili powder. 6 hours after eating it, nobody will be remaining in your area.
mmmmmm... sounds good. Do you just throw it together or are ratios important?
Well my grocery store carries this product which is basically a packet containing the beans, for like a dollar, and then I follow the recipe on it. But what I do that's different, see, is I throw away their silly "ham flavoring packet", and I cut up and add the meat of a smoked ham butt.
That's what it's called, I think. Smoked ham butt.
Anyway after rinsing the beans overnight and slow-simmering for 3 hours, they don't really resemble themselves any longer, the beans, which is how I like it. They all fall apart and create a big mash. And the pieces of ham fall apart in your mouth, they're so tender after all that treatment.
But now I have contributed to the global warming problem through my horrible release of many greenhouse gasses.
Carol makes it mostly the same way But ( and this But makes ALL the dufference ) she puts a
TurboDog in with it !!!
:yummy :yummy :yummy :yummy
its ASSARIFIC !!!!!!!
Oh and she makes skillet cornbread to go along with it ,
She crumbles the corn bread in the soup ,
I say that WASTES the good corn bread !!!!!!!
But now I have contributed to the global warming problem through my horrible release of many greenhouse gasses.
Consider tweaking your soaking method. I usually add lemon juice to all soaking beans (to break the phytates) but I see
here that I'm doing it wrong.
How does all this science translate into perfect beans? Soak legumes in plenty of water that has been brought to a simmer and poured over the beans; add about 1/4 cup of something acidic (lemon juice, vingear or whey) to black beans, lentils and fava beans but soak other types of beans (white beans, brown beans and dried peas) in plain water--preferably soft water or water with a pinch of baking soda added. You don't need to worry about having the optimal pH if your diet contains animal foods and if the soaking is followed by a long slow cooking. Use the table below to determine approximate soaking times. For beans that require a long soaking time, you may wish to drain, rinse and add more water at least once during the process.
After soaking, drain the beans and rinse well, then add to a pot with more water and bring to a simmer. If digestibility is a problem for you, kombu added to the pot should take care of any pesky oligosaccharides still lurking. Cook those beans gently until completely tender.
The following recipes will transform the humble legume into a delectable, body-and-soul-satisfying dish of epicurean proportion. And very much worthy of polite society.
Just to add to the collection of legume
preparation. I used to listen to Dr. Mirkin on the radio way back when and Diane had a lot of good nutritional info to share.
Leftover fried pork tenderloin on a sandwich
or
Chicken Nachos
or
Chicken on sourdough
I'll let the cellar decide! You've got an hour or so :P
If there is guacamole, then nachos
Otherwise the sourdough

No guac. The problem with a chicken sammich is that I have to figure out what to put on it, and whether to have it hot or cold...
Pancakes sound good. My brother and I are headed to get a couple of beers, then I think I will partake in pancakes.
Chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, corn pone, peach cobbler.
Bouef Bourgingnon.
An apple.
Peanuts.
a tin of anchovies (wow-salty!)
a handful of whoppers
coffee
half a landjaeger
I will never say anything negative about any kinda bean.
I :heartpump them all.
esp. the gas-causing.
Esp. them.
Leftover broccoli-rice casserole. An apple with peanut butter. Half of a slice of cheese (the half my kid didn't finish.)
Roast Beef Special, which around these parts is roast beef on rye, with cole slaw and Russian dressing. Also, an iced latte and a chocolate-chip cookie.
Fish, chips n salad...and orange and a Coke Zero :)
Today is Medina Kabob, a little restaurant on the other side of town. I'll probably have a veggie samosa, gyro, and hummus.
Today I treated myself to McDonalds - Quarterpounder with cheese meal. Feel quite sleepy now.
The woman say across from me is eating some generic crisps (chips to you) from a huge bag. She is filling her fist with them and cramming them in her mouth. The greasy smell and the sound is making me feel quite ill - I might have to go back out of the office....
They actually call them QP's over there? I know you guys still use Imperial measurements in the UK, but I thought maybe Royale was the standard name across Europe.
Breakfast sounds good, it being 8am here in St. Louis. I never did have those pancakes Saturday...

They are still QPs, yes. I wonder if they'll change when we finally go metric? I reckon they'll be one of the last things to go, if so. Along with miles....
It might be because we're quite good at calling things by foreign names in the UK. But more likely that we got McDonalds before the rest of Europe (this is a guess btw) and therefore before a name change was deemed necessary.
Good job...you got in on it early! :)
I love the way Vincent says it when he and Jules are about to smoke those kids.
We're having a pot luck at my office today. So far I have ingested as much food as I usually do in one day and it is not yet noon. We have everything from crab dip to creme filled cupcakes.
I had some chicken breast strips...because I'm obsessed with boobies.
That was actually breakfast...April and I will probably have lunch after I'm done at the doctor.
Crabcake on an onion roll, mashed sweet potatoes with raisins and more onion, and a large coffee with soy milk.
corn chowder, reese's pieces, coffee
later.... more coffee, brownie, beef cup o ramen.
White tuna (butterfish) roll, tiger roll, miso
When I was walking through the market at lunch today I walked into a pungent waft of garlic. I'm not sure where it came from, but it got into my head that I just had to have chicken kiev for lunch.
Now this used to be a staple of every pub menu as far as I remember, but I ended up wandering halfway across town without finding any.
In the end I compromised - in the last pub before work I had a pint of Diet Pepsi, gammon & pineapple with chips and peas and a grilled tomato (which I didn't eat - bleurgh). Oh and a portion of garlic bread on the side.
Have promised myself as soon as I stop working here I will go back to eating healthily - I've just got a real end of term feeling at the moment.
--snip-- a real end of term feeling at the moment.
aka short timer's disease, barn-sour, or :eek: :happybirthday:
I'll choose a topic in which I won't sound like a total idiot to make my first post.
I had a sip of an Icee, McDonald's fries, and a six-inch Subway sandwich. I eat really healthy!
Welcome Nivek!
Having had a Subway for brunch, therefore no fries, I'm pleased to say your post made me feel very healthy.
No idea what an Icee is, but I'm about to go out to find something ice cold and fizzy - 28 degrees (82.5) here today. How do they expect people to work productively at this temperature? Thank goodness I won't have another summer in this greenhouse.

someone feel healthy...
Today I am having my leaving lunch at Halli, which is our local vegetarian restaurant. Not only is the food mouthwatering, but the service is great and the staff are friendly and personable. They have a remarkable memory for customers' faces. I went in with my parents when they came up at Christmas, and when I went to book this meal (over 2 months later) the waiter asked whether my parents had enjoyed themselves.
Anyway - I'll be having the Lunch Special
Halli Special Thali
Traditionally, Indian meals are often served in a thali (a large rimmed plate) lined with katories (small bowls). Halli special thali have palaya, cooked vegetables, soup, yoghurt, sambar and dessert in the katories accompanied by poori/chappathi and rice. The katories prevent the food and flavors from mixing with each other
I had a "Himalayan Fusion" buffet (two rounds): Chicken Tikka Masala, 3xNaan bread, Curried Yellow Lentils, Capsicum Potatoes (something like sweet curried potatoes and onions, kind of odd but delicious), Jasmin Rice, Tandoori Chicken.
Then I had a half-dozen fresh homemade cookies from the country store next door.
Think that's a lot? You haven't seen me eat on a riding day.
I had a cheese quesadilla and a few cookies...the fucking lunch of champions. :greenface
Not lunch, but dinner last night.
For starters, king mackeral sashimi for me, octopus for SonofV.
Pan seared rainbow trout, sauteed cactus leaves on the side.
Prickly pear for dessert. Yum!
I'll be at the zoo today. Hopefully I can get a panda burger!
the lunch I want is todays IOtD; unfortunately, the broken refrigerator pretty much dooms me to a peanut butter sandwitch
Image of the Day, another forum area towards the bottom of the main page.
Ohhhh I should have known that. :p
Everything bagle, toasted, with cream cheese, cucumber, red onion, and red pepper. We're out of hot salsa :mad:
No, the red pepper is really sweet.
I love it when you two have little conversations on here, its like....soooo cute :)
My neighbor brought over some stuffed and grilled jalapenos he made. He stuffed them with cream cheese, wrapped them in bacon then grilled them. They were so good! :thumb2:
I had eggs benedict for brunch today. It was very yummy.
The bbq'd mackerel we had for dinner last night was better though. :)
Lunch on the hoof up the Pier today was bag of chips (fries) and pasty, of the Cornish variety. Assorted nieces & nephews sugared out on candy floss & doughnuts & Slush. (An Icee I think)
healthful chicken tacos.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I'm thinking something not healthful.... but then i promise to go work out hard. will that work?

I just ate my lunch (5pm :P) it was fish and chips from the village chippy. Drenched in salt and vinegar. But it was only a child's portion because this chippy has some strange ideas about just how much an adult human being should be able to consume in a single sitting.
It was made all the nicer because I had a little sachet of tartare sauce in the cupboard.
Two double decker tacos from Taco Bell.
of course! but you have to tell what yummy thing you DID have.
um.. I sorta failed.... but I did work off more calories than I consumed.....
I had sorta decided to run by a ff burger joint on the way to a 90 minute workout/swim... but I ended up scarfing two packets of crisps/chips that happened to be in the car then doing the eliptial for 30 minutes (huge resistance, first half backwards)
The chips were yummy, though ...although soylent green would probably have been yummy at that point in my day....
hmmm...
I'm very glad that there are none for sale
used ...
Nothing....I had nothing for lunch. Had half a bowl of rice for dinner. Sigh...I'm hungry. :thepain: Nopes, not on a diet, just didn't have time.
I love rice with green onions! You should have had a whole bowl!
Self-care must come first, Tulip. Go have a sandwich or a bowl of cereal or something simple like that. : sends hugs :
I'm very glad that there are none for sale used ...
um... ew.
Tried to make Rabbit Krispie cakes.
I had an issue with the correct Krispie-to-chocolate ratio, they didn't bind properly and cooled down far too quickly, so thay started shedding.
I tried to soften it up with Golden Syrup (we usually make them this way) and made the mixture too loose to set properly.
So the first pic is the few rabbits that made it, but they are crumbly rabbits. Crumbly + Rabbits = Crabbits?
Then I figured I didn't want to chuck away nearly a whole bowl of Chocolate Krispies, so got out the petit four cases. And I'd already made eyes and noses, so I figured I'd use them anyway. Krispies + Features = Kreatures? I dunno. Stevo was visiting and scoffed about a third of the mix for me, because I was bored of it by then. Sweet-toothed younger brothers, if you wait long enough they do come in useful.
Those are really cute and yummy-looking, SG!
Normally, they would put me in the mood for chocolate...but I just finished scarfing down almost a whole box of grocery-store brand "Kraft" mac 'n' cheese for lunch. Bleh. Don't think I'll be having that again for long, long time.
they have different ones , same brand with like 4 cheeses and different noodles and crumbly stuff for the top , they are YUMMMMO !!!!
Oh yeah, those new "homestyle" ones look pretty good!
I'll have to try those next time. I just have the box kind in the pantry right now, and it isn't even real Kraft brand.
Krispies + Features = Kreatures?
They do look like Kreatures. :lol: But very chocolatey. I would eat them. :D
Self-care must come first, Tulip. Go have a sandwich or a bowl of cereal or something simple like that. : sends hugs :
Thanks. It was after 10PM, and I'd prefer to sleep on an empty stomach than a heavy one.
I just had a ham and cheddar on a one slice of russian rye. mmm
I have not eaten my sulfur dioxide laden grapes yet.
( p.s. I didn't know they did that to our grapes! ) grrr:mad2: grumble grumble
Tuna, lettuce, tomato, celery, brocolli, brussel sprouts, vinaigrette (homemade)
Day 4 of "being good"
Only 3 sleeps til payday!
So I am eating pretty much what I can find :)
There were some sausages left over from Friday (at school) so I chopped up two to have with my tin of beans.
Tomorrow I'm taking the bagel Mum has offered and having it with scrambled egg. Nom nom nom. The egg is from Alison who keeps chickens. I've told her I will make a contribution to the fox-proof-fence-fund on Thursday. She doesn't mind, but it makes me feel better.
Chicken Broccoli and Parmesean pasta leftovers. Think it might be the last time even though I still have 3 servings at home. The broccoli isn't going down well :(
Had an Indian food "Tasty Bite" Meal for lunch with wild rice. I think it is called Jaipur Vegetables. It's pretty good. Spicy, but good.
I was really naughty (again) and had a McD's Fillet'o'Fish meal (fillet, fries and a latte)... mainly, it shames me to say, because I am collecting the Monopoly stickers to play for prizes...
That's my third McDs this week.
To make up for it I had a very simple and relatively healthy snack for tea (dinner): a tin of mackerel fillets in tomato sauce, over wholemeal toast.
...a tin of mackerel fillets in tomato sauce, over wholemeal toast.
Oh, no.
Oh no no no no no no no no NO!
I'd rather have a vinegar donut!
It's not something I can eat often. But once every Preston Guild I get a craving for them :P
Kung Pao chicken with steamed rice, delicious but hot, hot, hot.
Cafe did a first: to-order gourmet burgers, hot off the grill. It was a wait, but what a great big fat burger with colby cheese (plain except for some salt) and saratoga chips.
that sounds yummy!
I had a sweet potato. Was v. good. :)
dunno but I'm hungry and I have a house guest so I should damn well get on with it......
Toasted millet bread with melted gouda cheese and salsa. Plus a bunch of watermelon and some chocolate almond milk awhile ago. I'm choosing random things out of the fridge before they go bad, as usual.
some chunks of Parmesan cheese, some black forest ham and half a banana. Nothing else really sounded good.
watermelon?! It must be good to be a Texan. :)
I didn't eat lunch but I made up for it by eating a lot of fettuccine alfredo for dinner.
roast beef sammie with horseyradish sauce.
:yum:
watermelon?! It must be good to be a Texan.
This time of year, it sure is. Holding steady at about 80 degrees. Another month and I will probably be less enthusiastic about the whole thing, though.
I am perpetually cold, so I wouldn't mind being very warm most of the time.
..so I think. 'The grass is always greener', thinking.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I ordered pizza today for lunch/dinner. It was a thin crust Hawaiian.
This time of year, it sure is. Holding steady at about 80 degrees. Another month and I will probably be less enthusiastic about the whole thing, though.
80 degrees? omg. Some of the deeper ponds around here are still frozen.
Yum. Much healthier than mine, which was a 5 layer burrito casserole thing from the cafe, with spanish rice. I leave off the sour cream and tomatoes and lettuce.

myfitnesspal dot com is a damn handy way to track your food. I was logging every meal religiously at one point. Gotta get back on that wagon.
Seeing how Infinite Monkey is hungry...
What's for lunch?
Prolly something stupid-like a piece of bread. I'm that bored.
Pizza and beer!
Sigh, not really.
Probably toast and an antibiotic.
One slice of wholemeal bread with Lurpak sea-salted butter.
hmm. maybe I should have brunch. I forgot to eat breakfast. (Well I stopped feeling hungry after I dicovered that laundry)
That slice of bread gave me an appetite. So I made myself some sweet potato, mashed up with butter, cheese, spring onions and chopped parsley.
Was bloody lovely.
How did you cook the SP -did you nuke it?
Yup. Peeled and cut into small pieces and micro'd in a covered bowl, with a tablespoon or so of water.
What kind of cheese?
Monteray Jack's cheddar.
I just ate bacon eggs and hash browns. No wonder I'm the size of a house. Yummy, though....
From the little European cafe downstairs: Salmon Caesar wrap, frites with curry sauce, and a ginger beer. The wrap was too skimpy on the salmon, but otherwise it was a perfect lunch.
What's for Lunch?
I hope something good.
:D
I'll settle for something free
salad ... and more salad. A friend is staying with us for a few months and both she and I purchased 2 very large tubs of spinach and baby greens... sooo salad...that is pretty much all that is in the fridge at this point. The kids are gonna hate me, but I'm gonna keep serving it every meal until we are down to one tub.
strange looking fettuccine made from vegetables but it tastes fine
I love pasta too much
Starbucks sugar-free frap made with skim. I know, healthy, huh?
sunch (supper/lunch)
chili with cornbread.
yyyeeeeeeHAW!
I dunno, but it needs to present itself fast, I have to go out again in half an hour. What do you mean get it myself? sheesh. In that case there's a high probablility of eggs, bacon and hash browns again. Willpower, where are you?
YEAH... I'M FOOKIN UNGREH
Have been having trouble eating big meals (for once!)
Don't know if it's the actual cough or the antibiotics.
So lunch was a couple of grapes and a Strawberry Squash-Em (soft plastic strawberry filled with fromage frais - you suck it out via the hole in the top)
The again, the 'rents croissants were going stale, so at their invitation I had two for breakfast, which probably made a difference.
I should never be left to my own devices to fix lunch ...and now I'm late! :D
chicken salad hoagie with roasted reds from Wawa. spot hit.
Right now i am having a late lunch (8pm) of chickpea, carrot and coriander soup.
In an hour and a half the chicken I threw in the oven should be roasted :)
I have potatoes, carrots and half a tin of peas. Nice and simple.
And Pilau will no doubt enjoy sharing in the feast.
Earlier I had left over chicken stir fry. Right now I'm drinking chocolate almond milk straight out of the carton.
Oooooh. Chocolate almond milk you say? That sounds bloody lovely, that does.
parmesan cheese and some almonds
Oooooh. Chocolate almond milk you say? That sounds bloody lovely, that does.
The brand is "Almond Breeze." I don't see it on Amazon UK, but people online seem to indicate it's at some Tescos, some Sainsbury's, some Waitroses, and a Holland and Barrett. It's shelf-stable, ought to be shippable...
I went out to lunch at Pudge's (pointed out mainly to make PamelaR jealous!) with my gentleman. I had a "Nanny's Special," which is a grilled corned beef special. Quite yummy. And we shared cheese fries. I don't think they do milkshakes so we spared all of you the embarassment of the one cup and two straws as is traditional amongst our peoples.
Incidentally, Pudge's moved. They are now in the building next door, with a much nicer and larger space.
I doubt I'll have lunch today.
I had some sweet & sour chicken balls last night.
Had slowly moving stomach pains from 04.00 onwards. Moving downwards.
The bomb bay doors finally opened at 06.40. Not nice.
I can only assume it was the takeaway.
Too rich after a month of blandness.
Don't put the balls in your mouth, kids. They will make you sick.
what about Pete Schweddy? Can I put his balls in my mouth? I love his Schweddy balls!
I had some sweet & sour chicken balls last night.
Which one was sour?
It was the left one wasn't it? I bet it was the left one.
A small hamburger steak (cuz somebody ate the last hamburger bun), butter-sauteed onions, microwave mac'n'cheese, and a baked potato.
:yum:
Half a turkey sandwich with mayo, salt and pepper. (Haven't got my appetite back yet.)
free PB&J that John's wife must have made yesterday. cold as ice from being in his fridge, and all the jelly has saturated the one piece of bread, but it's fucken great cuz I didn't make it and it's free. yum.
Anything cold. It's 88 degrees, and around 400% humidididity.
I forgotted to eat lunch today
My cow orker brought me in some Tabouli (saw it spelled as Tabouleh, too) today.
I'm not an adventurous eater, but I'd told her I love parsley and we thought the other ingredients would be do-able, even for finicky morris here.
I really like it. It's light, but it's like a party in my mouth. And it must be reasonably healthy!
Those lebanese sure know how to cook (stuff I actually like!)
Oh yum that does sound good (after gooooogling). Damn now I need to go eat lunch too and I got nuthin.
Had some leftover beans so I mixed it with chili. Had that for lunch and some for dinner. (There were lots. :p:) During the night meditation, I fell asleep and let out a :fart: :eek6: :blush: I hope no one realized it was me. :p:
Trying to decide whether to make chicken salad for lunch or wait and reheat the chicken I cooked last night for an actual dinner-seeming dinner.
I'll probably wait. And then lose interest in meal prep, and end up with chicken salad for dinner.

LMFAO !!!!!!!!!!
We broke our fast at lunchtime. On the menu: fritata. It was delicious!
I'm not going to eat today.
I had a shame-spiral of a weekend.
Just pretend you're having a colonoscopy tomorrow!
I had a beef fajita burrito from a roach coach down the road from work today. there are a ton of them in that area of town and usually they are pretty good. i plan on sampling as many of them as i can within reach of my half hour lunch break. anyway on a scale of 1-10 the one i had today was an 8.5, needed better salsa.
I had a Ham sando in my lunch cooler , but i was close to Toms BBq in memphis , I just Had to have me some rib tips , MMMM They wus GUUUUUD !!!
[YOUTUBE]UasiJibp5e8[/YOUTUBE]
I just made San Choy Bau for the first time and I have to say, it's pretty spectacular. For those of you who don't know, it's a pretty simple spicy ground pork mince served in lettuce ie, rolled up in iceberg lettuce (although I'm serving mine in baby cos leaves.
Anyway, I just wanted to say it's yummy.
It's actually for a party I'm having tomorrow arvo, but I am doing most of the prep work today, so I thought I'd have some of the spoils for lunch. You know...as a taste test type of thing? ;)
Solarhippie was picking up her new Chevy Volt today. She was supposed to call me when the deal was done and drive down to show it off and have lunch at Panera. It's nearly 1400 and she hasn't called, so I'm guessing I should start checking what's in the fridge. I think I have some chicken salad.
I had leftover tomato, leftover steak bits, and an avocado, all dribbled with worcestershire sauce. It was fantastic.
A [strike]drug dealer[/strike] pharmaceutical rep brought wraps, broc salad, chips, soda, and cookies. Good enough for me.
I'm glad you got a nice lunch, Spexx... but I still wish that shit were illegal.
Huh? To an eye doctors office? What drugs do you guys sell there? ...er, prescribe.
It was Beef Bourguignon on buttered spaghetti, but I forgot to take a pic. It was teh yum, though.
Italian Hoagie, mayo, sweet peppers, no onions.
omg
4 of us went in on a 2 regular pies for $20 deal.... These things are thick.... ah mazing.
Them's not pies..!
Look yummy though.
From the pictures I can't get it out of my head that they are quiches - I've never seen pizza that deep. Hence pies, I guess.
we call pizzas pies ovah heah. pizza pie. pie.
and the eyetalians call pizza sauce gravy. weirdos
Keep in mind that by "over here," jim means Pennsylvania. No one in the south calls a pizza a pie.

In Jersey my cousins say, "Wanna get a slice?"
i've currently got a
Turducken in the oven. never cooked one before but have had other products from Hebert's, (pronounced "aybears") i highly recommend them. from their stuffed quail all the way to their stuffed de-boned chickens. this place knows what they're doing!
Philthy, that sounds like a GOOD PLACE.
Can't get my head round the pronunciation though!
We're having a FOUR bird roast, but it comes from a supermarket and will probably be dry.
Sorry Mum, it's true, you overcook meat.
Last night I made a ham pie with leek, onion, potato, leftover ham, double cream (!) and mustard. Bloody good it was, even if I say so myself. We;;, I was following a recipe mostly.
And then cherries in kirsch with buckwheat pancakes and Cherry Gran Marnier cream for dessert. I spoiled them like an Ambassador.

Quoting myself, but it is still true.
D R Y
Just finished it.
It was dry.
Ate after my family, but no gravy left. I should have made some,
It might have been less dry, but not by much.
Also no yorkshire pudding (probably wasn't any) and no sausage in bacon (which there were - the greedy pigs) and no peas.
Overall - disappointed.
Homemade veg, barley and bean soup. :)
It's kinda hot right now, though :(
Leftover bacon meatloaf and roasted yellow squash from dinner last night. Also, some polenta from dinner 3 nights ago.
I had tuna, mayo and grated cheese mixed together.
I feel like I'm going to chunder now.
More dry crackers probably.
I might push the boat out and have some dry toast.
chicken, spinach and mozzarella panini sandwich and coleslaw (that I attempted to make out of a failed recipe. I hope it tastes ok :/)
Didn't feel like making a sandwich or mixing some fruity yogurt or thawing anything, cooked up a mess of spaghetti. And yes, I mean mess literally. Sauce splotches on various parts of the stove from when I pulled the lid off the sauce and meatballs to stir. And yes, I know that meant the heat was too high, I prefer an aggressive simmer when I'm in a hurry.
On the upside, I now have four further meals in the fridge.
We're having chicken, salad and a lemon pesto fettuccine for lunch.
I'm going to my cousins house. I'm supplying the pasta. She's doing the chicken and salad.
A Rueben without the rye.
Yummy.
coinci...wha...
anyway.
I have a 'Jewish Hoagie' from Bread&Bagels.
like a Reuben on a hoagie roll. Huckin Fawesome.
What's on a Jewish hoagie?-details!
I don't know from rueben. I don't like sauerkraut. I know now that sauerkraut is on a rueben.
(I've told this story before, but I don't care.) So I'm working at the bar/restaurant at lunch, a hundred years ago, and some old ladies came in. I'm cooking, and one of them had a rueben. She commented that it was awfully 'hot.'
Hey, sauerkraut and horseradish look the same to me when they're in tupperware containers, and as I don't eat either and wouldn't eat a rueben if you paid me, I didn't know. Ooops! It was very embarrassing!
Tomorrow is going to be lasagna soup! I am in a soup mood, so I will be having stuffed green pepper soup, too. I just realized that I am going out on Wednesday and I am disappointed it won't be eating the stuffed pepper soup then - lol
I keep making almond cookies for the kids and then eating them all myself.
Today's lunch seriously needs to be something other than cookies. Seriously.
Wednesday is roast dinner day at school.
I usually partake.
Which is ridiculous really.
I have approx 20 mins to get all the children down to the hall and served, then scoff a roast dinner and dessert, then get to Craft Club. I leave Craft Club early in order to set up Friendship Club for Mars.
Thing is, the only session I have any influence over is Friendship Club.
And as it's difficult to find a regular free room for it, I could justify changing days. But inside I'd know it was really just to make things easier for myself, so I'd best not. Also Craft Club finishes after the Easter holidays (children start dropping out when the weather gets warmer) so I'll be less rushed soon.
Tomorrow is.... oh. Just looked it up. Roast chicken.
I might save myself the trouble - not a big fan.
Then again - cheesecake for dessert :yum:
What's on a Jewish hoagie?-details!
Jewish Hoagie:
Includes corned beef, pastrami, beef salami, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and coleslaw.
Bread & Bagels
The beef salami was exquisite. all crusted around the edges with black pepper, and love... and their bread is lightly crusty, yet fluffy, and powdered with flour. It was hella messy to eat, and I could only do half... but I had the other half today. Well worth the $7.59.

um..... I'll take Sundae's flaccid bacon.....
You can take the woman out of England but you cannot take the English out of the woman...
Not sure where to post this, and I don't want to stay in my own thread all the time so I wouldn't seem so egotistical. Here are the yorkshire pudding I made this afternoon. Had it for lunch. :D I promised Sundae that I would post up pictures, but I did such a lousy and messy job that it is too embarrassing. I will post up pix of the process next time. And now, here is the end results. Oh yeah, as you noticed, some don't look right. I poured too much batter for the first half of the pan. When I realized so, I spooned some out to fill the remaining slots. :rolleyes: Also, the oil in the pans were supposed to be smoking hot, but I became impatient. When I saw a hint of smoke comes out from one or two slots, I poured the batter in. Oh well, until next time. :D
Psst: Sundae, my sister said the flavor tasted familiar. After a few pieces, she said it tasted like unfilled cream puffs. Anyways, I like it. Thank you very much!!! :hug:
They don't look too bad, Lola, but where's the gravy? You can't eat them without beef gravy.
Lunch was Panera Steak and White Cheddar hot panini and it was delicious. :yum: (Maybe only the second time I've eaten at Panera)
Hihi...no gravy. I know, I ate them in a very unconventional way. Still good to me. :D
Printed the recipe, sounds absolutely wonderful! Did it taste as good as it looks?
Max and I went and had sushi for lunch today. It was nice and he thought the train was pretty cool.
Printed the recipe, sounds absolutely wonderful! Did it taste as good as it looks?
Um, kind of. The flavors are good but I just don't think I like the quinoa as a pasta replacement. I prefer it as a side dish I think. I actually might try and use the recipe but with pasta instead. About to post over on the cookbook thread.
There are a couple other recipes on that site that I want to make.
I saw your post in the other thread. Thanks!
I had a pregnant lady craving for kfc today and proceeded to stuff myself. Now I feel sick.
Somebody shoot me now.
I had a KFC the other week, when everythnig was going wrong.
I thought it would cheer me up.
It didn't. That's me done on the KFC front for another few years...
(how come in the adverts it looks both fluffy and juicy but in real life it is both greasy and greasy?)
Yeah. I've gone off KFC . Now and again I'll forget about the last experience and get suckered in by promises of succulent chicken and secret herbs and spices and bam! I'm sitting in a half-arsed excuse for a seating area, eating greasy chicken in overdone coating, and trying not to look at anything too closely.
I forgot half my lunch at home. Now I have to figure out where to get something :(
I like Bolfspeef. I shall name my son that.
This is what I had.
Yes I know they're not really American. But they were on sale. And they are both crunchy and hot i' truth, and that's doing what it says on the packet.
I expect to blaze a fiery trail later this evening...
Chixxs
Marinated chicken wings in an American style hot chilli crunchy coating
Take the Heat...
Born in the bars of the USA, these feisty American hot chilli Wings are smothered in a crunchy coating, seasoned with punchy paprika and black pepper, culminating in a lingering capsicum frutescens chilli finish.
Some say that Americans like to do things bigger and that includes flavour You are sure to find these wings packed full of big hearted flavours the USA would be truly proud of.
Embrace the taste of the American dream with these tongue tingling hot chilli wings.
I have a pork chop and corn, but we are being forced into a company picnic, so I don't know what I will be eating there. It's not until 3pm, so I don't know if we are expected to eat lunch or dinner. PS - I hate that I have to go
Marinated chicken wings in an American style hot chilli crunchy coating
This saddens me in two ways. One, that all this 'Mericuh marketing is going on. We did some cool things and inventing the Buffalo-style hot wing is one of them, but all this USA USA nonsense, I mean, shouldn't it go towards the iPhone and not some horrible appetizer-turned-meal?
And two, the chance that this product actually resembles the original is near zero.
Hey don't take it to heart.
The other two items in the range are "Italian" Pesto Chicken Bites and "Indian" Masala Chicken Goujons.
There are many food crimes committed in American under the name of Italian cookery.
Ditto in this country under the name of Indian cookery.
Don't think for a second the USA should be immune!
Although I do love an American-Style Diner. Because if it's licensed it will sell Long Island Iced Tea. Ooh I could suck that up through a straw! Oh, I mean... I have.
As a side note, one of my favourite ad campaigns of all time was by the company that made Phileas Fogg tortilla chips. They had a whole range of "world" snacks. The adverts showed authentic settings for each and then a voiceover at the end said in a very scholarly voice, "Pay attention! Phileas Fogg snacks are made in Medomsley Road, Consett."
Here is one of my favourites. If something I come across has the right syllables and cadence I am still occasionally moved to sing it to the tune of Punjab Airways...

NB - the wording in this advert differs slightly from my description above. Some definitely said Pay Attention though.
Oh 'dae, I can't wait until I win the lottery, and I am your guide as we whisk away to try all the actual 'Muricun local foods of at least the East Coast.
And I can't wait to read your travelogue on it, because your travelogues are the best.
I am reasonably sure this will happen in our lifetimes.
Am currently reading Confederates in the Attic (must remember to tell Bri it arrived!) and am so hungry for America. I'll try anything once. Even Country Gravy.
Thanks for the compliment on travelogues. Means a lot.
But don't let him try to feed you Mexican food, Sundae. You'd have to come down here after you're done with the East Coast tour. You would just melt for both real Mexican and real TexMex, I know it.
That's only right. I would cover:
Montreal: Crepes de jombon et fromage
Maine: Lobsters and/or proper lobster rolls
New Hampshire: Polly's Pancake House with many maple syrup products
Boston: New England clam chowdah
New York City: Deli sandwiches of pastrami and corned beef; street vendor hot dog; cheesecake
Philadelphia: Cheesesteak; soft pretzel; water ice
OC Maryland: Crabs banged open with a mallet

Do they have Popeyes there yet? I look at the bottom of a KFC tub and see about a spoonful of oil, I never see any oil in a box of Popeyes chicken.
BTW, check out my
What's for Breakfast post. SInce it's before noon, it still qualifies.
Hot dogs, grapes and popcorn - YUM!
Do they have Popeyes there yet?
Not that I'm aware of. New franchises tend to start in London, and I've never seen any there.
BTW, check out my What's for Breakfast post. SInce it's before noon, it still qualifies.
Off there now I promise.
Hot dogs, grapes and popcorn - YUM!
Every morning I pop a couple of grapes from the fridge into my mouth. Naughty, because I don't buy them. They remind me of the William Carlos William poem, which previously always made me shudder (even though I liked the wording) because it is about plums, which I have an aversion to anyway. Let alone all cold and hard.
Grapes on the other hand have thinner skin and are truly so sweet and so cold.
I had pretzels this morning. Breakfast and lunch really.
I made Mum a birthday cake and ate too much of the icing. I tried a white chocolate ganache and it was a disaster so I felt obliged to scoff the scrapings.
Sundae, at least someone bought them. My dad used to give me three grapes each time we went to the grocery store when I was a toddler. "One for each hand, and one for your mouth." Years later I was horrified to realize I'd been complicit in dozens of crimes.
Oh Clod, you shocker.
Did he also take you into the changing rooms and feed you the packaged sandwiches, leaving the plastic under a pile of discarded clothes?
Perhaps give you a little sippy from an open carton of apple juice until you'd sippied it all dry then hid the evidence behind the shampoo?!
I know that game Missus.
And you know where it ends up? In a liquor store, drunk as a skunk, pissing your pants in the middle of the aisle.
Think on, lady.
I just don't have the heart to tell my dad that he's led me to a life of liquor store urination. It would crush him so. He always tried to do right by us, you know, set a good example--you pee on the wall outside the liquor store dearie, on the wall outside!
I'm so ashamed.
Dear Clodfobble,
Please don't beat yourself up about this. It's not your fault. Retromingents are born, not made.

Today is homemade coleslaw, frozen corn and pork BBQ from a place in Lillington NC. Oh so good! Oh so happy my friends forgot to take it :P
Well, first, there was about 1/2 cup of leftover black bean/tomato/avocado slurry, which was itself originally an amalgamation of leftovers.
Then there was vanilla ice cream.
Then there was a pear.
Now I'm hunting for more.
EDIT TO ADD: Leftover barbecue chicken thigh in the back of the fridge. Score!
Pasta with butter and (appropriately named) Pasta Sprinkle with a Spinach and Garlic Griddlecake
Whay are you having lunch at 8:30am?
Sundae and Clod - you two are so funny.
I"m having immodium due to all the corn/bean/rice/salsa situation.
Had the leftover half of the flatbread Mum made herself for lunch yesterday.
It was quite nice actually.
Whay are you having lunch at 8:30am?
I was not - I had just packed it. It was really good.
Good GAWD. I don't know what it is, but I won't be having any:

I had a roast beef and horseradish sandwich today.
I prefer it on granary bread (spread thinly with low fat mayo) but I bought this one and it was on white bread with, I suspect, marge.
Worked well for me though.
I often take in leftovers these days. or bagels.
But I am covering lunchbreak from 12.30 for a member of staff who is ill (long-term, hospital etc) so I only get 30 minutes. Sounds like ages, but once you have got the childer all washed up and said grace and sent down to the hall to eat it's often 12.10. And by the time you have queued for the toaster/ microwave/ panini press it's 12.20.
My sanger was all I had to eat today.
Til I filched some fishfingers during after school club.
No lunch for me, but I'm going to have some hot dogs and beans tonight.
I had scrambled eggs with black beans and rice. It was surprisingly good. (Or I was just super hungry.)
Lunch was a bite of this (lentil chili) and that (spelt salad with corn and peppers). Had to get some salad in while possible ... I will say, I finished the apple crisp. My all-time favorite! :)
Lunch was this toothsome semolina bread that a playgroup mom dropped off and some of our apple wood smoked thanksgiving turkey soup with root vegetables. and more semolina bread. That stuff is so delicious.
For dinner I made some venison tournedos, described in big fat butchering.
I can't believe you finished the apple crisp. I was saving that.
You have to be quicker than that when it's apple crisp ...
Seriously - applewood smoked thanksgiving turkey soup with root vegetables? You raise the bar too far! And venison tournedos. Not fair. Microwaved veggies and a Boca Burger aren't even in it - and no apple crisp left for a chaser ... :sniff:
Boca Burger? That's from the food group of remorse.
No kidding. I feel remorse that I put it in my freezer, and even more that I took it out again.
Boca Burger? That's from the food group of remorse.
Hahaha....I eat those stuff. :D Well, I prefer Morning Star products. Doesn't taste too bad if you cook it the "right" way -- fry it on medium heat so the outside would be nice and crunchy. Of course gotta sprinkle lots of crushed pepper flakes while it's being cooked so it'd be spicy. If you like the bean flavor, then you should microwave it. :p:
Yellow rice and homemade chicken fingers that were coated in crushed plantain chips. Not bad!
Breakfast? Nothing.
Lunch? Nothing.
Tea? Nothing.
Sigh.
Someone has sandpapered my throat.
Breathing hurts, let alone scoffing.
Owww honey. That sucks.
I seem to have done nothing but eat the last few weeks. I think it's because of the cold weather...maybe I'm preparing to hibernate...
What is even more sucky is I am sneezing bloody froth.
That's not swearing. I sneeze a lot anyway and always try to catch it in a tissue but 98% of the time it's dry.
Now it's always wet. And red.
Normal cold/ flu symptoms don't play fair with existing conditions.
On my third top today.
Meh. Not the best post for a food thread, right?
Take care, Sundae, keep the fluids up.
The good fluids! I'm talking chicken soup, or at least flat lemonade.
Pounded pork chops, green peas, and salad. So Sorry that's supper
Left over fried chicken sandwich and leftover black-eyed peas.
Fairly spicy chicken fried rice from a local Thai restaurant. :yum:
Spinach salad without dressing and nonfat Greek yogurt - yesterday, today, and tomorrow :p:
On my third day of going veggie, I have had my fourth meal of Taco Dip Platter :yum:
I had a sleep fpr lunch today.
I think I might have one for afternoon tea, too.
The cafeteria at the steel mill I'm assigned to got flooded in the storms this morning. So the Med Director and I checked out his emergency rations - Reese's miniatures and peanut butter crackers. Then the nurse came by and shared HER emergency rations - brown rice and salmon. Men? Reese's. Women? Whole grains and salmon. That tells me something, but I don't know what.
It tells you in an emergency, women are boring. :haha:
And men are wildly impractical, even if sweet and tasty?
[COLOR="LemonChiffon"]Oops ... I meant they go for what's tasty ... hmm. Never mind. [/COLOR]
Impractical? For making a annoying situation fun? We're not talking about stocking a fall out shelter, and it's not like there isn't a Burger King within you'll-only-be-mildly-hungry distance.

Last week I made a roasted duck, using
this recipe, which calls for boiling the duck first, then roasting it for the second half. (Duck came out
amazing, by the way--I boiled it in salted water rather than chicken broth as called for in the recipe.)
After pulling the duck out of the pot and moving it into the roasting phase, I added the gizzards and organs and a couple stalks of celery to the pot and continued boiling that for the rest of the evening. I think I seasoned it with a little more salt, I can't remember.
Now, today for lunch I am having this duck broth with the last shreds of the meat I picked off the carcass after we were done eating it that night at dinner. Added a tiny bit of rosemary for fun.
OMFG it is so good. And I still have another two servings left (no more meat, though. :()
Thuffering thuccotash, you're dethpicable.
Wholewheat spaghetti with some stir in sauce and little cubes of feta cheese.
Which is also what I had last night, and two nights before that...
God bless pasta. Cheap quick and easy.
How do you make a duck into a great soul singer?
Put it in the microwave, and eventually its Bill Withers.
:lol: Will it sing 'Lean on Me'?
So I was sitting in the dentist chair yesterday (my new caps are the fab!) and Ain't No Sunshine came on their radio. I laughed in that mumbly laugh in the dentist chair kind of way, having already laughed in relation to the joke earlier that morning.
Tanks for the laughs, Monsieur SousCrapaud!
Wonton Pizza Cupcakes - both turkey pepperoni and turkey sausage :)
Wonton Pizza Cupcakes - both turkey pepperoni and turkey sausage :)
Yes, please tell us more about it. Pictures would be great too. I'm interested to know what is a wonton pizza cupcake. Sounds oddly appealing. :-D
Whoops - no pics of the Wonton Pizza Cupcakes.
This is basically what I did, but mine looked better. I also had a different order. I went wonton, topping, sauce, cheese, wonton laid with the corners opposite of the original wonton, topping, sauce, cheese.
I left mine in too long. I didn't get up right at 20min when the timer went off. I suppose if I had gotten up, they wouldn't have slightly burnt. I would actually try 15min first.
Today is home made sweet and sour chicken :)
Glatt - it's kind of like a mini pizza lasagna.
Porn.
apparently, it's not just for breakfast anymore. huh.
Christmas dinner at work today!
I've opted for leek & potato soup to start, no main* and sherry trifle for dessert.
First sitting at 11.45. Hence no brekkers and the need to jump in the shower and start getting ready for work instead of mucking around on here...
* Just didn't fancy a whole turkey dinner, and it turns out I was the only one to tick the veggie option, so I was scared about what might appear... A sprout on a plate?
Free lunch again.
Sandwich platters. Ordered in as samples for customers to promote our "Entertaining" range.
I didn't find them very entertaining, "sandwich on a plate" being perhaps too avant garde a performance for my liking. But they were jolly tasty.
Free dinner too. Or more properly High Tea.
More scoffage from the Entertaining range, served to us because we had a Customer Services training meeting after work.
Californian style sushi, tortilla wraps, various filled and topped pastry Hors d'oeuvres.
Well if we don't get to try them we can't recommend them.
For me the most entertaining part of the evening was when I tried to remove a chair from a stack in the training room. Very small space, difficult to manouevre in. For the first time in ages I felt my balance shift. Luckily my fall was halted by some Forest Friends. At least by a stack of boxes containing Forest Friends hollow chocolate figures (probably in there to make way for Festive Friends hollow chocolate figures rather than to train on stock management or branch ordering).
I was able to right myself before any frogs were damaged and luckily only one colleague witnessed. But I suspect she was also entertained.
Venison burgers and french fries.:yum:
Venison burgers and french fries.:yum:
Yup, beats my cuppa-soup into a canteen mug.
Funny (for me) to read my comments about the Entertaining food from last year. We have our AGM on Sunday and it's being catered in the same way.
Except we'll also be having rotisserie chickens cooked by my counter.
By my reckoning there will be approx 2/3 of a chicken for each person attending. I might have to take in some takeaway cartons...
Seriously, as far as I can tell they've calculated a 1/4 chicken for everyone who has signed up. Not everyone will make it as it starts an hour after the shop closes, not everyone works Sundays, if it's a nice day they might "forget"' some must be vegetarian and not even every meat eater wants chicken.
Still, it's their loss, and hopefully the 'rents gain.
Chicken Fried Steak, mashed potatoes (from a box) and veggies. I am FULL! And happy :)
Had a late lunch of Top Ramen chicken noodles. Fairly tasty.
Ramen has changed since I last had it many years ago. I used to make jokes about how bad it was, no taste, no flavor...Maybe my tastes have changed.
I retried it a few weeks ago at buddy's house. I retry stuff I don't like occasionally. I never liked okra as a kid, I kinda like fried okra, now. Same with boiled cabbage. I still don't like sweet potatoes, but, I think I want to. I can see how people would like that taste, and I don't want anyone to enjoy life more than me...
I skipped lunch today, but had cold, leftover, fried chicken for breakfast, with orange/mango juice to choke it down.
Cadbury's Dairy Milk.
is this wrong?
Better than mine anyway.
Nuffink.
It's all tasting a bit grim. And £ short anyway.
I did have a salad yesterday. With some cheese and half an egg, in a plastic box with a fork and everything .
Sausage casserole, made it my own self.
:yum:
reheated vegetables, potatoes and broccoli, hot coffee, cold sparkling water (raspberry), and a fresh caesar salad made with half a head of romaine lettuce and butter and garlic croutons with romano caesar dressing. all that garnished with a delicate fillet of thumb, sliced ever so thinly.
ouch.
How about some nice tomatoes from Monsanto/ConAgra. :haha:
Maybe they're just dirty.
This.....well, half of this
bacon tomato and cheese toasted sandwich. It was good. I feel sick now. :/
Where's my half?
Eating it for breakfast - Sorry Bruce :)
You don't want it anyways - the bottom bun is alllll soggy. I am saving you from soggy bread :D
Italian Drunken Noodles :)
Left over beef tamale pie. So good, but I need to get a different Chili Powder so it isn't too hot again. Thank goodness for greek yogurt to cool it down
Leftover seasoned pork belly from the big Valentine's dinner that Mr. Clod cooked for me. He used
this recipe. So freaking good.
Spinach and Potato Frittata
Pasta with sauce, turkey sausage, peppers and onions. Covered in cheese.
That sounds like cold weather food. ;)
Dirty snow.
As long as it isn't yellow:eek:
I had some comfort food - garlic noodles. So good!
Just can't eat at the moment.
May get something while the supermarkets are open, just because everything shuts after 16.00 and I might change my mind!
It might just be a bar of choc though. Something to keep my blood sugar up while I throw off this lassitude. Or maybe it really is a physical illness...? Hard to tell when I'm well capable of worrying myself literally sick :(
Worrying yourself sick: boy I understand that.
Eat something sort of good for you...or at least not bad for you, but something with a lot of flavor...whatever in that arena appeals to you. For me, it'd be some kind of pasta probably.
FINALLY I get to eat my soup and burger I brought Monday. Chicken and garlic soup and just a plain burger. Both homemade, though and much better than the crap I was forced to eat yesterday at a team lunch.
........I should've just had the soup. SO FULL!
whole grain Rotini swiss mac with crab meat.
I had quinoa from a street vendor today. It wasn't a superfood.
He'd fried it up - I found it slightly greasy in texture and over-flavoured. I always boiled my quinoa, and ate it as part of a meal rather than cooking other things in with it.
Oh well, live and learn.

A huge ground venison steak, black-eyed peas, Spanish rice.
Yeah, I eat early on Wednesdays, $5 domestic buckets starts at 4pm, and the place closes at 9pm, so, yeah, I eat early on Wednesdays.

LOL - fantastic! I always have a range of sizes. The burnt ones make me sad. Try putting on different seasonings when you are tossing them in the olive oil. My favorite is spicy seasoning, baking, then covering with cheese and bacon and dipping in ranch. Oh yea. Now THAT'S a dinner.
I had leftover pizza for lunch today. I need to buy more potatoes....
Friday a friend came by, we had fried shrimp, oysters and hush puppies
Mmm lunch. Of course it was unhealthy, but cheap & tasty.
The only reason I wouldn't go is Ray Kroc was Nixon's #1 contributor.
Lunch with Limey on Thursday.
I will write it up properly somewhere.
I had cheese & pickle ciabatta sandwich.
Came with leaves, pomegranate seeds and balsamic dressing, and a little pot of coleslaw (which I gave to Limey, as she likes and I don't).
[ATTACH]52875[/ATTACH]
And a vanilla milkshake.
[ATTACH]52876[/ATTACH]
Limey had mackerel pate and toast, and a strawberry and rhubarb soft drink.
Her food was very good too, but the bottled drink was a little too sweet (too much strawberry said Lines, not enough rhubarb).
[ATTACH]52877[/ATTACH]
delicious, and I must say, the lighting is very flattering at that table.

It ain't much to look at, but, I could eat this three times a day for the rest of the year, and not get tired of it.
Lunch in Mendoza's on Aylesbury High Street yesterday.
My parents, despite the evidence of their eyes, have decided I need feeding up.
(well TBF it is really more about nutrition than the size I am)
Dad's cheese & ham omelette.
Looked a bit rubbery to be, but he proclaimed it good and ate more than he usually would.

Mum's Hoisin Duck Wrap. She admitted - shame-faced - that this was what she always had. Good for her, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. She'll get bored with it in her own time and move on.
[ATTACH]52893[/ATTACH]
And my steak & blue cheese salad.
A few more cherry tomatoes than I was prepared to eat (palmed off on Mum) but no pesky hidden cucumber. I cleared my plate.

Recipe please.
Gravdigr's Sausage Casserole
1 pound sausage (or ground beef, or ground venison, or, or) cooked w/a little Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke
Cheese - cubed (as much as you like)
2 cups macaroni (cooked)
Cheese
A small onion, diced
Cheese
A small green pepper, diced
Cheese
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes (if you really like tomatoes, use two cans)
Cheese
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
Cheese
1 teaspoon sugar
Pour everything in a casserole dish and mix together.
For the topping:
one tube/package saltine crackers (or non salted, if you avoid salt), crumbled, mixed with one stick melted butter, spread evenly on top of the mixed casserole.
I cook the peppers and onions and ground meat together. I usually cook my casserole for 20 minutes at 350. All you're really doing is just warming up the already-cooked ingredients, anyway. Just enough to barely brown the cracker topping.
Enjoy. Let us know how yours comes out!
Let us know how yours comes out!
I will. If I can get past Keryx.
Lunch was FANTASTIC homemade Chicken Lo Mein. Gonna have to add more chicken next time. I can't wait until my new camera gets here. Food pictures for all!
And pictures have only half the calories. :haha:
Dilled Chicken and Potato Salad. It need something, but I'm not sure what.
More mayonnaise, if you ask me.
More mayonnaise, if you ask me.
Clod - That is my next step. I don't think the dressing was enough. I am going to add some today at lunch and see if it helps.
ashes, gravel and regret
Did you trip and eat asphalt or something?
PS - Yes - the mayo helped immensely. It's still weird just eating it with a fork
Brown rice and cooked veg.
Repeat ad infinitum after Zoloft reset my migraine trigger level to 'hair' and everything except breathing sets one off. Hoping, after getting off the damned stuff, that things reset to 'normal' at some point. In the meantime I'm losing weight so yay, I guess. Brown rice, cooked veg. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I've been eating very badly, interspersed with not eating at all.
Today I ate properly.
Not worth different threads, but Swiss-style muesli (which I usually have with water as it already has milk-powder in it) with skimmed milk for breakfast.
Bagel with reduced fat mature cheddar and an apple for lunch.
This meant I took all my meds after eating - which helps with their efficacy.
Okay, I may have SlimFast for tea, but only because it's easy and has the vitamins in it etc.
Cajun Shrimp Wrap with bacon and remulode. Side salad to make me feel better about buying it.
Oh yes, the good old side salad save. Use that often. ;)

Hell no, the salad is just to appease the people judging my selections, then when they're not looking I grab two desserts. ;)

I had sausage, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and shells.
I can't eat for shit anymore.
I tried to have Shakespeare's Pizza for lunch yesterday...a Columbia, Missouri tradition. Now granted, I had gastric bypass a few months back, so the amount of food I can eat is radically reduced. What this means in many cases is that a meal that your kid might eat will last me 2 or 3 meals now.
But what I am discovering is that my body rejects food that it finds to be...too much. Fast food is pretty much out of the question. Of course, this is fine with me, because we know most fast food is shit anyway. But even something that can be less shitty like pizza tends to be a no-go. I'm not sure if it's the fat content in the meat and cheese or the carbs or what. I also still have issues with eating too fast, which can REALLY fuck with you if you've had a bypass.
Having said all this, I've found simpler cravings these days...I can make a mean salad.
I had sausage, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and shells.
That sounds pretty good.
I had Spanish rice with chicken.
The Mrs made dirty rice over the weekend, so I partook in some of that a bit ago...it was quite good.
Thanks Grav - it was good. I have one more serving of it. I was going to eat it today, but had to rearrange things since I ran out of milk for my afternoon shake. So, today is chicken lo mein with extra chicken
Ethiopian food: Lean beef sautéed with fresh rosemary, onions, jalapeno peppers, fresh tomatoes and garlic, sautéed in our special awaze sauce
SOOO GOOD!
Awaze sauce... sounds dangerous. :eyebrow:

I swear, the hottest food I've ever eaten has been African.
And I can eat curries (as in Indian dishes) hot enough to make me cry. Twice - going in and coming out. Not saying I enjoy them that hot, but I can get them down my neck if I've made the wrong choice in ordering.
Lunch today was so bland.
(ties in with Indian theme - haha)
[YOUTUBEWIDE]0WkKK7UAB4A[/YOUTUBEWIDE]
Supermarket white bread - bought because Mum wanted it as comfort food - toasted cheese sandwich.
Okay, the cheese was Tickler, which is a rather nice mature (sharp) cheddar. But not my usual fare when I'm eating.
Mum's was even blander. Egg & soldiers. I made mine and Dad's, but Mum made her lunch herself, as she doesn't trust me with eggs. She's right not to. Despite the complex dishes I can prepare, I've never been proud of my egg cooking abilities. And it's a bit like making tea anyway - everyone has a preference. I can't even cook eggs to my own preference, but if I've gone to the bother of cooking them I close my eyes and scoff them down anyway.
Awaze sauce... sounds dangerous. :eyebrow:
I got the mild. I was safe :D
i can't help but read that as amaze sauce.
Carnitas as a burrito. So good. Pork butt, onion, spices, tomato paste, water, overnight on low in the crockpot. Turn it off in the moring, let it cool, remove much of the fat from the top, shred, enjoy.
Same Curried Chicken Pie as usual.
I had a free lunch yesterday.
I was amazed - it went through the till, then I was told it was free on promotion. I was SO happy.
Chargrill flavour chicken breast, Peri Peri creme fraiche, sliced jalapenos and baby leaf spinach.
The only problem is, I am now convinced every time I go in there I will get free food. I have to disabuse myself of that notion.
The other problem is, when I got back I realised I hadn't completely removed my practice make-up. For Halloween doncha know. So there is a slim possibility that the lady serving saw me as a battered woman and simply cancelled the transaction.
It wasn't as outre as
this [Cellar post], which is why I forgot that particular cheek. But it did look like I'd been on the wrong end of a knuckle sandwich.
Made my flipping day though.
Turkey, gravy, asparagus, and boiled potatoes :)
Peanut butter cookies. In the oven as I type.
The old standby:
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
Mix, roll, smash, 8-10 @ tree-fiddy.
:jig:
Meat sauce and pasta. Simple, yet awesome.....I hope. I haven't tasted it yet
maters, eggplant, okra. Stewed with 1 can Rotel, mushrooms, leftover cabbage and a bit of pulled pork. Lipton onion soup, with too damn much crushed red pepper for my drink.
Hey, a square meal. :haha:
Momdigr's homemade potato soup.
:yum:
Velvet Chicken Lo Mein. Again. Not that I am complaining, I actually really like the recipe. I need to find some more veggies to put in it, though. I just don't know what would work. I only use cabbage since I hate (HATE) mushrooms.
I had some chicken, after a few weeks in the fridge it was velvety as can be. :haha:
A 2-inch thick bacon-wrapped pork chop (yeah, that's pig-wrapped pig, wanna fight about it?:eyebrow:), Spanish rice, and a breadstick w/iced tea.
:yum:
Tomorrow will be stuffing casseroleish dish. I need to add more chicken to it so I am not just eating stuffing with cream of chicken soup ;)
That sounds like cold weather comfort fare. :thumb:

It is tasty. I had some for dinner. I think the stuffing sucked up all the soup, though....
We're all getting cheesesteaks from Steve's 'the prince of steaks' tomorrow.
The very Italian guy that is running the operation swears that they are the best. Head and shoulders above the famous name places....

Damn that looks good. Now I don't want my lunch :cry:
There must be slightly more meat than roll. 55-45. That looks about 20-80. Good luck
Yeah, I'm skeptical. I'll update after lunch today.
They were good. Not fantastic. A little different in that they don't chop the steak. Its 3 or 4 slices on a long roll, so the ratio is a tad low. I got a Cheese-steak hoagie, which means there's lettuce and tomato on it.... The lettuce was typical shredded iceberg and the tomatoes was transparently thin and flavorless. Oh well.
It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't make a special trip to get one. The Plaza Pizza shop next door makes a pretty solid steak when I'm in the mood for it.
Also, that pic I posted was pretty accurate, so I didn't bother photographing mine.
It's always a pleasure to hit some hole in the wall you've never heard of and get a blue ribbon lunch. The "famous" places always disappoint me, maybe because my expectations are too high because they're famous.
There was a Vietnamese guy a block from my old office who owned a place called Lunch Express Deli. He made the best cheesesteak I've ever had.
This was an asian dude in DC. Two hours and a world away from Philly.
You get all wrapped up in what is "authentic" but the real test should be the food.
It was years ago, and I have no pictures to offer you. Place probably doesn't even exist anymore.
Unacceptable. IMO the steak must be chopped, and the cheese integrated. Although the tourist places don't do that.
I agree, chop and mix. :thumb:
I guess it's about what you are first exposed to. In my mind, the very best cheese steak came from Wright's deli in Eagle PA.... Which has been gone for 20 years now.
It was a pizza steak. A regular cheese steak, but with mozzarella and pizza sauce all mixed in. Gooey to the point that chewing was largely unnecessary. I was happy to spend my allowance on one.
Maybe that's partially because we had to ride our bicycles for 45 minutes to get there, and the adventure aspect enhanced the experience.... But I've yet to match the bliss encountered on those summer days.
Is it still lunch if it's 3pm?
Wow, another square meal. ;)
Treated myself to a jacket potato and cheese yesterday.
Not the best example of its kind, but it filled a hole and gave me the energy I needed.
I won't go to that place again though. Should have been suspicious when it was the only one of the many cafes we have in Otley which had a free seat...
MMmm. I haven't had a loaded baked potato in a long time. I may have to add that in soon.
Momdigr's homemade chili!! She's been working on it for about hour now.
This. House. Smells. Wonderful.
:yum:
It was supposed to be bang bang shrimp, but I waited too long to clean the shrimp. Now, I am stuck with just the sauce.....and a trip to the store in the future.

Did that turn out for you? I made the same recipe, but it looked nothing like that.
Wrap those chicken thighs in bacon, damn yer eyes!!!
Fried fish, Mac and cheese, and cauliflower. Sound familiar? It's what I had for dinner yesterday
The cauliflower makes a nice plate decoration... just be careful not to eat it by mistake. :p:

Turkey on white.
Has bread changed? All bread tastes, well, bad, lately.
As mentioned in the breakfast thread, I'm going vegetarian for two weeks. For lunch a couple days, I am having white lasagna cupcakes and salad.
Tilapia, yellow rice, and asparagus. So freaking healthy

Needs bacon.
Got enough fat with the butter I used to cook the fish and rice :cool:
Oh, OK. I was afraid you might be swept away by a gust of wind while trying to take a picture of something in the wilderness.
Nope. My fat ass keeps me well grounded :right:
Today it was beef Ramen noodles with a double cheeseburger (yesterday's leftover McDouble from McD's) sliced up into it.
Pretty damn good.

Aww, you had to go and ruin it with cauliflower and asparagus. :p:
Spicy chickpea patties with chobani yogurt dip and coleslaw. Plus hummus snack. I want to try Sabra hummus, but didn't want to buy a big old container. Instead, I grabbed a single serving because I am smrt. :D
Bad Daddy Burgers! Either a fried chicken salad. Or a fried chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon and tater tots. I think I am going with the sandwich and tots to make the morning starvation worth it
Red Baron Special Deluxe
Cooking rfn.
I had a late lunch (coming up on 3pm): two small jacket potatoes with butter, cottage cheese and sun dried tomatoes. It was delish....and v filling, so now I don't want any tea!
Fried chicken and Boiled rice with vegetable is my favorite on lunch.
Chicken, cauliflower, and jambalaya rice
But rice, you said nothing would come between us.
Sorry chicken, you know how pushy caca-flower is. :(
Ashes and regret, w/a side of cold gravel.
Home cooked chili-burgers, and chili-cheese fries.

I've got a choice of chicken bacon cheese sandwich or kielbasa sandwich. Both paired with a salad and homemade dressing
Most days I have tuna, with a tablespoon of mayo on wheat and sometimes I add a slice of cheese.
It's boring, but I have gone to the
prime fillet tuna can. PRIME. And you know it because the can is GOLD colored. I like to imagine I am getting something actually better than the usual, and it does seem like it most of the time.

Well, I'm in the country. Legally? Maybe, maybe not.;)
Speaking of Tex-Mex...For her church's cooking day, Momdigr made something called Taco Lasagna.
That shit was totally awesome.
Here's the recipe.Hi everyone, I'm back again. I've been lurking a bit but haven't had a ton to say.
Today's lunch was... Oh god, what did I put in my face?
Oh! I had microwaved chinese pork buns and a handful of frozen fruit. Mixed berries.
I think I'm still hungry.
edit: I am no longer still hungry. I had a bowl of "BIBIM MEN ORIENTAL STYLE NOODLE, ADDITION MORE 8% APPLE JUICE IN SOUP" and it was delicious. Would recommend, as long as you like weird and spicy korean flavors plus cold noodles. I do!
(
https://www.amazon.com/BIBIM-Oriental-Style-Noodle-Package/dp/B00A475KFO - but that's a little bit expensive. Any of the asian markets near me have the 4-packs for about $4. 16 for $34 seems like robbery, they're not THAT good. )

Hiya Winslow!
Welcome back.
Thanks boss. I'm trying to figure out what subforum to best post more meaningless chatter on, but I haven't decided what I want to focus on yet. So for now, I'll say that today's lunch was...
Wait what was today's lunch? Did I eat? Oh, right. Yes. I ate a frozen burrito and a bunch of ruffle's "all dressed" chips.. with queso dip. God help me.
At least I started the atonement process by making a large batch of lentil soup for dinner, and that should last me for a few days.
I had a child's portion of fish n chips yesterday.
Well - I tried to. I'd already stopped the lady serving when she wanted to load the plate with chips.
Then I picked the fish out of the batter and gave up.
She said, "Are you alright love? You went right pale there! I can give you a drink if you want, you didn't have half your dinner."
I think she thought I was diabetic or something.
Still, made me smile afterwards. Me? Pale? With my jaundice?
She may as well have said I looked like I was wasting away (the steroids are playing havoc with my body image)
So it was a silly luxury, but I'm glad I tried.
Having a sit down fish and chips meal was always a massive luxury as a child. We barely even had them as take-aways, so to sit in the back room with real plates and white bread and butter and warm cola was like winning the pools.
Ham salad sammich and Doritos. Washed down after with apple juice. I love apple juice, but, can't/don't/won't drink it with my meal.
That is coastal a Carolina dinner known as lunch to the rest of the world. Elvis spent some time on the outer banks in the fifties. Probably took the recipe back to Memphis.
We stopped at an eatery called Friendly's. They are not on the bypass and so have great food at good prices. I had two large fried croakers, my wife had three catfish. Both had fried sweet potatoes, cole slaw and hushpuppies $9.99 ea.
Needless to say we took a lot home.
tarheel
Oh goodness I forgot to mention the bar b que with slaw in my post. People be like WTF? Oops

Today will be a stupid-thick, bacon-wrapped*, boneless pork chop with black-eyed peas and cornbread. And maybe a tater.
It may become second breakfast. The handful of chips I had for first breakfast ain't doing the trick I thought it would.
Yeah, precious, that's pig-wrapped pig, ya wanna fight about it?:eyebrow:
I had half a falafel wrap yesterday.
Note to self: do not eat anything with tiny bits in when you're feeling a bit sicky.
It didn't stay down. Without wanting to be too graphic when other people are describing their lovely lunches, I had to clean my teeth quite a few times after it came up.
Grains and grains and grains and grains.
Lasagna. I started the sauce at 6.

No no, bread is for ducks. :lol2:
Today's lunch was a half-pound ground venison steak with tater tots, the kind with tiny pieces of onion in them.:yum:
Yeah, the old man took a young doe last week. Fucked up shoulder, can't pull his bow at all. In KY you can hunt regular bow season with a crossbow with just a note from your doctor.
Hasn't hunted for a couple years, but just couldn't sit out another season.
This made bow kill number 74 for Popdigr. He's shooting his age!
Bowhunting 60 years this year, btw.
Chili flavor Ramen, w/a little dab of that ground venison.
Tasty.
Over the course of the last few days I've been working on making the components for a batch of borscht. Today it all came together.
My god, so, so goddamn good.
Salad and chicken thigh that was supposed to be "spicy, sweet, and sticky" It was sweet. Good flavor, though. I am going to try again with the proper amount of chicken to see if it makes a difference
Rest of the week will be chicken and cauliflower.
Ground venison steak w/seasoned crinkly Ore-Ida victory fries :yum:
Beef Chow Fun with added spinach to get my veggies in for the meal.
Home made sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style with steamed white rice!! Beautiful
Chicken strips, Ore-Ida seasoned crinklies, green beans
With ashes for dessert.

That's called a hangover... or lack of one.;)

We had Vietnamese stew for dinner. I didn't have any pencil onions so just used a white onion. Pencil onions add color , but taste the same. Getting harder to find Nissan noodles. I ran out of my hot sauce, but had an emergency bottle of IGA store brand. Good stuff. I could drink this and will in a bloody mary shortly.
tarheel
By the way down heah dinner is lunch and supper is dinner. Took me awhile to learn Redneck as a third language.

Pencil onions! Funny.
Never heard them called that before.
Dinner is the biggest meal of the day. Supper is always the evening meal. Lunch or supper can be dinner. To hear you tell it, both lunch and supper are dinner. Either the biggest meal of the day down there isn't very big; or, you're gonna get fat!
Bad Daddy Burger!!! I got one with American cheese, shoestring potatoes, bacon, and spicy ketchup. Tater tots on the side, of course
Ever had a hash brown burger?
Hamburger/cheeseburger with hash browns on it.:yum:

Lunch is chicken Ramen w/a pouch of Starkist Sweet & Spicy Tuna in it.
Tasty.
Man - I would kill for some Ramen. I haven't had it in years. I used to cook it and dump out the broth and just eat the noodles
I am not fond of the chicken or shrimp, but that tuna. Yup thanks I'll look for that at Wally world.

That's because you can't tune a chicken or a shrimp but you can tuna fish. :facepalm:

I only use about 2/3s the water it calls for.

I can't taste the shrimp Ramen at all. Tastes like ya left out the flavor packet.
Another thing I use to help the Ramen is a handful of bell peppers and onions. I get a bag of frozen peppers & onions a keep them in the freezer, toss them in when the water boils.

Ok I bought one of those square copper pans with the glass lid. One of my grands was at the house. She saw me start to prepare some cheap steak for a beef stew. I got out the Adolf's.
Whats that for pa pa? (children are so stupid )
I said I have to tenderize it this morning for this evenings beef stew.
How about I show you how to do it in 30 minutes.
Sure baby knock your socks off.
She got the square pan and with no oil put the steak in the pan then the lid. Low heat for 30 minutes. Like a wrapped chuck steak in the oven only better.
Never to late to learn something except what is the last thing to go in a beef stew shortly before serving? Asparagus tips.
Mebbe the grands do know something I don't. Duh.

Chili-burger and chili-fires w/onions.
Columbia River Steelhead Trout.
A little EVOO, pan on med-low, fish in, lid on. After ten minutes or so, fish out, done nicely. A little dill, some smoked salt, a dijon-chipotle mayo (didn't have the patience to make a proper aioli). So damn good.

Today is the rest of those Eyetalian sausages, and Murkin aigs.
Gonna eat the last one like a burger, w/lettuce, tomato, mayo, and sauteed onions tonight for fourthmeal.
[size=1][muttering]Columbia River Steelhead Trout...I kinda popped a chub when I read that y'know.[/muttering][/size]
Taco stuffed peppers with riced cauliflower and brown rice tomorrow. I need to decide if the brown rice fits or if I need another carbohydrate

It looked like this at the store. I asked the guy at the meat/seafood counter, are you *sure* this isn't salmon? I'd never seen orange fleshed trout before. Pale yellow, yeah. Not orange.

And I'm sure it came from a fuckin whopper like this. In the tray at the store, it fit, because they folded the thinner belly portion underneath to give it a nice, regular, rectangular shape. At home, when I opened it up, it didn't fit flat in my 13 inch Lodge cast iron skillet, it kinda surfed up the side a bit, less than an inch. It was probably a pound and a half.

Chili burgers. The burgers, cooked on the stove, chili was from a can:
[ATTACH]61510[/ATTACH]
The terms 'hot' and 'spicy' are used loosely here.
Ham salad - I haven't had that for years! My mom used to use an old hand grinder to make it. No pickles, though!
Boneless pork chop w/black eyed peas, the legume, not the band.
Chili/cheese tater tots:yum:
RFN, btw.
Bacon-wrapped, boneless pork chop, "Proudly [pre]Seasoned With Rib Lickers Big Hog Rub",
[ATTACH]61616[/ATTACH]
and a can of black-eyed peas with a can of potatoes added to them. To eat more country than black-eyed peas 'n' taters, you'd have to eat dirt.
That chop wasn't overly delicious (it was pretty good, that seasoning is pretty mild), but, at one point I cut off a bite with my fork, just to say I cut it with a fork.
That chop was an inch and 7/8s thick, and I cooked it for almost an hour at 350.
Today's lunch with a very old friend who I haven't seen nor spoken with in about 20 years.
Something about finding out he slept with my ex-wife back then was a little off-putting. We met today and buried the hatchet, so to speak. It was very ... what is the word? Relieving? I hold no more animosity toward him. Losing the negativity and letting the grudge go feels incredible.
Oh, I had a chicken taco salad at La Tolteca with extra sour cream and guac with a side of Yuengling. It was great.
Old friends are cool.
Most of my old friends are dead. They're, like, really cool. To the touch.

Today was beef Ramen, w/green, red, yellow bell peppers, onions, and last night's left over ribs from the bar.
Delish.

That's a busy bowl of noodles, Precious.
About ¾ pound of ground venison made into a hamburger steak, w/sauteed onions, fries.
It wasn't much to look at, but, dang it was good.:yum:
Boneless pork chops, sweet peas, and breadsticks.
Chicken salad and banana. Yummy!
Mickey D's I suppose. $.59 hamburgers, $.69 cheeseburgers on Wednesdays and Mondays, $1 any size drink...Hard to eat cheaper than that.
I'll grab a couple on the way to the bar.
Fresh Homemade Burratta - Thin layer of mozzarella filled with a cheese mixture topped with fresh herbs, olive oil, garlic
Bruschetta of the day - Made with fig spread, goat (I think) cheese, prosciutto, drizzled with balsamic vinegar
Michelangelo - (Sandwich on baguette) Prosciutto parma, fresh mozzarella, crisped pancetta, broccoli rabe, olive oil, roasted red pepper pesto
First two items were shared with a friend. The sandwich was all me. Fat and happy

You misspelled burrito.

I mean, it's cheese wrapped in cheese, so maybe that's the cheese spelling? :D:cool:
Stir fried pork, cucumber, and a runny fried egg over rice with fish sauce and sriracha.
An excellent way to celebrate the completion of my colonoscopy this morning.
Gyro, Greek Fries (feta,and a Greek sprinkle), and Turkish Coffee.

Isn't anyone gonna help that poor man?[/Blazing Saddles]:p:
Today was a damn busy bowl o' noodles. Chicken Ramen, left over sweet peas, left over pork stir-fry and a paper thin slice of a purple onion.
:yum:
Arsenic, regret and ashes. With a bowl of cold railroad ballast for dessert.

Luckily my lunch is much better - raddish salad and toasts!
I gotta tell ya, George, that sounds awful.:p:
:welcome: to The Cellar, btw.
I went out to get hummus to dip my chicken in with rice and veg on the side. When I got back to the office, I discovered my lunch was rotten. So, I only had hummus. Cry for me. :p:
We eat a LOT of chicken around here.
Even if I die of old age, I probably won't live long enough to actually want chicken again.
Ya got lucky.

90% of my diet is chicken. My ex used to start looking for feathers when he realized just how much chicken I eat. Now that I am looking to put on muscle, I try to get 5 ounces every time I eat it
If only fried chicken was healthy, I would be golden :rolleyes:

Oven fried is good and not as bad for you.
Oven fried is good and not as bad for you.
I've never been able to make oven fried taste as good as regular fried, unfortunately
Yeah, I was gonna say and it's not as good.
Nothing tastes good unless it's killing ya.
I made
these for lunch
Quite tasty. I may experiment with the seasoning on the ground meat (turkey is kind of bland) and change the black soy sauce to oyster sauce for a different flavor than all soy.
Also known as a Blowfish...
Dollar Market shrimp and Dollar Market fries.
It was a Dollar Market day, Precious.
It's BBQ day today, hooray
Brisket and cole slaw are on their way
There's nothing else in life so sweet
As eating a hunk of slow-cooked meat

That's a damn good frozen pizza, Precious.:yum:
Popcorn shrimp and tater tots
I might have mac and cheese :)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The saddest little pizza you ever saw.
Left over New Yawk Strip, and Red Robin onion rings from the frozen foods section at the grocery.
The steak was meh, but the onion rings were great.
Reeeed Robin, yummmmm.
Cooked up a big pot of chili yesterday (froze half for later). That was todays' lunch.
I'm quite pleased with myself. This is the second time I've tried this recipe. The original came from an online site, but I doctored it up a bit according to my own tastes, and both times it turned out GREAT. (So says me and my handyman/tenant dude.)
I may learn how to cook, yet! :rolleyes:
RFN, I'm eating a blueberry candy cane.
I have three of those little, thin breakfast chops in the oven. I ain't in danger of starving.
Heading to the river after while to watch the deer that have survived so far walk out onto the field. The guy I lease m'spot from doesn't allow hunting, so it's kind of an oasis.
Gonna have the munchies when I get back.
:joint:
Today's lunch was yesterday's supper. I had a ginormous sirloin last night, could only eat half what with the fixings and all, and put the left over in my Spanish rice today.
Pretty tasty.:yum:
Two Johnsonville New Orleans Andouille sausages, sliced and cooked in butter, with three colors of bell peppers and onions, when that was done I poured three beaten eggs in the skillet.
And 4 biscuits.
Man, this shit is tasty.:yum:
And the house smells wonderful.
Cooking onions in a skillet will do that.
Lunch was a T-bone, with a can of field peas-n-snaps and a can of new potatoes thrown in with them.
Saved half the steak to slice up into m'noodles tomorrow.
Poke chop w/gravy, Margaret Holmes Lima Beans, biscuits.
[ATTACH]66596[/ATTACH]
:yum:
I've never had a lima bean that I have liked, but I've never had one that has been seasoned.
I suppose, in theory, you could season one enough so that I would like it.
They're preeeetty good, if a little on the salty side.
They're a world away from a reg'lar ol' lima bean.
That Margaret Holmes sure knows her country veggies.
Just finished bakin' bacon, and I'm now enjoying a delicious bacon and lettuce (no tomatoes for me, thank you) sammy. Mmmmmm good!
Fish and chipsss and beer
Thick, boneless, bacon-wrapped pork chop with Gravdigr-made beanie-weenies
It's good stuff, Precious.
I might make some mac and cheese :) (mmmmmmmmmmmmm)
Organic and yummy :)
