What are we having for lunch?
It's 11:00 AM.
A nice #8 from Mickey-Dees. Fish hypertension sandwich with a large side of french-fried strokes.
PB&J with a side of cheez-its.
Lest you think me too plebian - yesterday it was leftover smoked spare ribs I'd made last weekend.
A delish pasta salad, all creamy and cold and yumm! I love pasta salad--could eat it every day.
doesn't this belong in the food/drink thread?
I'm only following the trail blazed by the "What's in you freezer" thread. :eyebrow:
The nice 81 year old italian woman down the street had me in for sausage & peppers, tomato -mozarella-basil slices covered in olive oil and salt, tuna salad, egg salad, and rolls. I'm in love :love:
You're a lucky man, Grant. I was a skinny guy until I met my wife and all her Italian relatives. :biggrinlo:
I had a sandwich from Quizno's. I should be eating cheesesteaks every day between now and the time I leave, but I just wasn't feeling it today.
Subway 12" BMT on Italian Herb and Cheese bread, xtra Provolone, all vegetables, easy on the peppers and onions, with mustard, mayo, vinegar and oil, pepper and parmesan.
Bi Bim Bap. Bonus points to anyone who knows what that is. ;)
1 homemade ham & cheese sandwich, 1 homemade PB&J sandwich, a small handful of pretzles, three homemade chocolate chip cookies from Father's Day, and a cup of water.
coffee and V8 juice.. and of course delicious nicotine
Eggplant curry and a banana.
PB&J. I'm totally plebian. I've been eating them for most meals for the past while. (I'm most of the way through my third loaf of bread.) They're too easy/yummy/convenient.
I've been wanting to get some good chips, but the stores near where I live don't have the particular variety of the particular brand that I want. (<a href="http://www.seasonssnacks.com/seasons_sweet/item-detail.cfm?cat=5">Michael Season's Ripple-cut</a>)
It makes me want to open my own corner store, just to have a supply of potato chips and pasta that doesn't close at midnight/11pm.
Liverwurst and cheese on potato bread. Two of em, I was hungry. And a can of sprite.
I think I'm gonna have a Slim-Fast and a salad today. I'm getting chunky. Hazard of sobriety.
I haven't decided yet. I'm going down to the office today to clean my desk out, so maybe I'll go to Corner Bakery or Hot Tamale (a Mexican place).
Pie, you rule! You're always eating "exotic" stuff.
leftover cake, relishes and meat and cheese tray from the party we had yesterday for our first grad student to get his PhD in our lab.
free lunch two days in a row, go me :)
Pie, you rule! You're always eating "exotic" stuff.
It's not just me. We've got a kinda rotation here at work, Korean, phở, sushi...
We're looking for good Chinese and/or Indian, but they're a lot harder to come by (at least in S. Jersey!) :(
- Pie (Mmmm... Angry Dragon Roll...)
Today is leftover pork chops, applesauce, and calliflower. Oh yes, and some home made chocolate chip cookies my kids made.
My fāv-o-rite part.
I'm going down to the office today to clean my desk out,...
Hey Sycamore, is someone making you clean out your desk as in, "here's your walking papers?"
i have no idea. i can still taste dinner from last night, taco cabana, real late, after poker. i like the subway idea, tho.......
Taco Bell today. No need to elaborate since they are all essentially variations of the same thing.
Anyone else remember when Taco Bell was cheap?
Yeah. I used to be able to get out of there for under $3. Now, I'm lucky if I don't break the $5 mark.
4 potatoes, sliced thin and baked on a cookie sheet, with 1 T oil, pepper, and tons of salt.
Shame upon my head. I didn't have Slim Fast and salad. I had TWO grilled cheese sandwiches. The real kind, made with Wonder and Velveeta. Food just tastes so freakin' good lately! IT TASTES SO GOOD! I can't help myself.
*ashamed*
Taco Bell today. No need to elaborate since they are all essentially variations of the same thing.
Anyone else remember when Taco Bell was cheap?
oh yeah! I also remember when they had the beefy tostada. man that was great. i haven't seen one of those since they revamped the company/menu years ago.....oh, and i had an
antone's po-boy instead of subway. that place is the bomb! from tuna po-boys to their "super original" mmmmmmhM just awesome. they have this pimento spread that's just to die for too! man, i think i'm going to go knaw on the other po-boy i bought while i was there! :yum:
wait for it.....
waaaaaaaaiiit.....
Coffee.
Seattle? Coffee? I didn't think you folks drank coffee out there...you just export it so that the rest of us are fucked up.
leftover spicy corn tortilla soup, hard salami and cheese sandwich on whole grain potato bread (didn't know there was such a thing until last week at the Acme) and unsweetened ice tea.
Uh, sorry. My bad. I'll go pull Starbucks' / Tully's / Cafe Appasionatto's / Seattle's Best Coffee's / etc's plug and tell'em to get packing. Cut that sh*t out.
Oh, if you're in town, here's
how to order.Hey Sycamore, is someone making you clean out your desk as in, "here's your walking papers?"
No, he's retiring. All washed up so he's being put out to pasture in St Louis. :haha:
Which is pretty much all pasture, so he'll be asking passing cows how to get to the house where he's supposed to be delivering the pizza.
Veggie sandwich-Whole wheat bread, a good brand w/ fiber and not too many calories. Either reduced fat mayo or smart beat. Baby spinach. Fresh tomatoes or occasionaly cucumbers. Always a sprinkle of pepper. Sometimes a squirt of mustard (Pardon me, but do you have any... ). A slice of soy cheese. And lately I've been adding a handful of sliced almonds. It's really good. It is the condiments and how fresh they are that makes the sandwich.
A pop open can of veggies and a piece of fruit or a yogurt.
Hey Sycamore, is someone making you clean out your desk as in, "here's your walking papers?"
I was on disability for 3 months with a heart condition, and was released from that 2 weeks ago. In April, I decided to move back to St. Louis, and my last day with my company was supposed to be July 1st. Because things have changed so much at my company in the past 3 months, they decided to pay me through July 1st and I didn't have to go back. Today, I went in to say goodbye to everyone and pick up my things.
It's been great...sitting around, going to the beach, drinking, sleeping...and making a nice pile of cash doing it. I leave for St. Louis Tuesday or Wednesday, so I'll be getting paid to drive cross-country too. :)
Well, yesterday I picked up two packages of turkey bacon for today's breakfast/lunch. One of them was a new maple flavor. I like eggs with mine, but Jeffrey is a bacon-only person. I'm curious as to how he will react to maple flavored bacon.

This will be my pre-Forks warmup.
Smoked salmon, bacon wrapped sea scallops, and crab/alfredo linguine........I'm off work today. Oh shit here come the neighbors.
Bowl of generic sugar smacks and lots of coffee.
An extra large triple triple and a fruit explosion muffin.
Um, hang on a minute, I'm trying to get coordinate lock on capnhowdy's bbq. Be riiiiight witcha.
wait for it....
waaaaaiit...
Samauri Salmon Wrapp is on the menu today, on the patio by the lake, with MrsV
That place sounds :yum:
I had Cheerio's and a Cinnamon Raisen English Muffin. For lunch.
I had... now what did I have? Oh yes, a piece of cake, and a stalk of celery with cream cheese on it.
I also didn't have breakfast, come to think of it. I was thinking of having another piece of cake, however. :)
Del Taco with my kids. I love Del Taco because they serve fries. Yes! You hear me, fries! Fries at a taco joint! Sends you mind a-reelin' doesn't it? There's nothing better than crinkle-fries and mild original Del Taco hot sauce. Althought I do pay for it later...."Whew, don't go in there for a while." :dead3:
I miss the green burritos from Del Taco. And the fries. Up here we only have dumb ol Taco Time and a burrito is like 4 bucks. Dude, I just want a bean and cheese burrito, green sauce, ok? Cause I only have 89 cents. :grumblegrumble:
Taco Time? Wow, that sounds cheezey. (No pun intended...no really).
Hmmm...I might have to grab a couple of fish tacos from Del Taco later.
Stouffers microwave turkey dinner w/ stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggies and gravy.
I don't know yet, but I think this might be another generic sugar smacks and lots of coffee day ...
Was gonna be coffee and chili but after the IotD, I think I'll just pass, thanks.
Well, maybe some coffee.

So much for my other job as a professional psychic, I couldn't even predict my own breakfast. Hmm. I was half right. The coffee thing came to pass.
But it was with two slices of toast made from a faux artisan whole wheat bread spread with hummus and Crazy Richard's Chunky Peanut Butter.
Was gonna be coffee and chili but after the IotD, I think I'll just pass, thanks.
Well, maybe some coffee.
Why do you usually just have coffee? The whole coffee/chili combo sounds like a rolaids commerical waiting to happen. Iron gut, or no time, or what?
And, goddang it, I had pasta salad AGAIN!
This has got to stop. :worried:
Oh, and where do you find Crazy Richard's P-nut butter? Hippie store?
Nah, Regular Supermarket.
It's the easiest to find of the hippie you gotta refrigerate it and store upside down peanutbutters.
because only on rare occasions do I get away from my desk through the middle of the day. The coffee fuels me and I just keep at the machines. What do you think generates so many damn posts? That's the coffee talkin. Actually, I can't blame the coffee or the caffeine, since I drink decaf almost exclusively. Better for my blood pressure, and it was the last thing I could give up before having to resort to more drastic pharmaceutical measures.
I do have an iron gut. I am NOT a picky eater. And I have unfortunately been cursed from a young age (by my Mom I bet) with "Clean Plate Syndrome". I find that to a couple of decimal places, my appetite matches my serving size. One can of chili, one meal. Coffee neatly fills the cracks and crevices, if any.
I had a turkey, ham and salami sandwich. Not bad, but I would have preferred Del Taco. Unfortunately, I'm carless until later today--my car is in the shop for its 45,000 mile checkup. Maybe I'll hit Del Taco on the way back from the dealership.
just finished a turkey, salami, roast beef, provolone wrapped in a low carb tortilla. finishing with an energy drink.
no it isn't about wait loss or anything, i love bread - but i don't get the after lunch food coma if i lay off the carbs at lunch. :)
They called it sirloin, but it tasted more like meat paste.
p'raps you forgot to combine it with some fairy gravy and some scrumptious reagents.
Tuna salad sandwich, cheetos and flavored seltzer water.
Del Taco bailed out of the houston market. i used to go there everyday in summer school.
well i guess i'll be throwing a slab of meat on the grill when i get home. just which one? the T-bone steak or the beef fajitas?
we had sushi today. yum.
our favorite local chinese restaurant recently renovated and added a sushi bar. score!
I went home for lunch and had home made thick pork chops, soup, and rice my wife cooked for me, and it was damn good. :)

is it a buffet? when you find a good one, they ROCK!
no buffet. especially sushi. ick

the pork chops, the soup, the rice? or having the wife at home? :love:
no buffet. especially sushi. ick
there's a buffet on the south side that's pretty freakin' good. their sushi is fresh and good. but your right for the most part, your playing russian roulette.
there is a place over in Kemah that's a BAD ASSED sushi bar called ichibans. doing a web search i see that they have restaurants here and there throughout the country.....
It may not be a chain, as "Numbah One" is a pretty common Name for Japanese Restaurants.
Especially since it can also mean "best."
sushi from buffet = BAD - most don't have the equipment to keep it at the proper temperature = BACTERIA BREEDING GROUNDS. (P.S. - sushi at a Chinese restaurant? I though Sushi was Japanese......but whaddo I know.....)
Today: Jamba Juice - Peanut Butter Mooed w/ extra bananas....yummy!
The Chinese buffet restauraunt I sometimes go to has everything from your standard American Chinese fare to lasagna, salmon, sushi, ribs, crab legs, roast chicken, soft serve ice cream, and all sorts of random stuff.
HUGE BBQ baked potato
that Grand Buffet place must do it right then, i've eaten there many times and not had a problem. then again there is usually 2 waiters servicing the sushi buffet at all times.
cool - just looking out for fellow Cellarites! Don't want to see the "food poisoning thread" start.....
I've gotten violently ill from eating sushi at various places, including King Buffet (and I ordered it there, didn't get the buffet), and a really nice place that we still frequent. It's worth it. Whatever doesn't kill us... right?
call me a snob, but personally I prefer food that doesn't make me puke my guts out the next day.........
lmao! (wipes tears away) i needed that!
yeah, i suppose that sometime it will happen. i love raw oysters but like the saying goes, i won't eat them in the months that don't have an "R" in it. i've gotten sick from oysters but not sushi, not yet anyway. there's a local grocery store here (well statewide) that has fresh sushi made daily and i'll run through there and grab an assorment pack from time to time. been lucky in the game of russian roulette of sushi...... :cool:
The boss-man bought us all pizza today. Pizza Hut I believe.
Tonight I had Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak.
I suppose it was more dinnerish, since I ate it around 2000 hrs, but it was the middle of my shift, that's technically lunch, right?
sure, whatever you want to call it. if I eat waffles at 8 at night, is it still breakfast? or is there a special name for night-time waffles?
I just had an IHOP breakfast sampler with a carafe of OJ for lunch...
HM, your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to scoot on over to the Supreme Court Building and find out what's being served in the Cafeteria today ... we need to know what Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is having for lunch too.
well i'll go look in at antone's and see if she's getting a po-boy!
Combination last day before the 4th, closing day lunch prepared on site by our fireplace guy...KC strip w/potato salad, baked beans and cheescake for dessert (okay, so he made the steaks).
Mmmmm....took away the last shred of motivation that I had.
what topping on that cheesecake sir?
Rueben sandwich (altho they called it a sammich) and cool cucumber salad w/yogurt & sour cream dressing. All this while I was picking up a paycheck. No wine, what a drag. I was, however dreaming of a white Zinfindel....................
suddenly I want cheesecake. Thanks guys. I'll have blueberry topping of course.

I miss me some Del Taco. They don't come a'east of the Pecos, apperantly, cuz I haven't seen one east of Arizona.
Bastards.
I should franchise one. Big money big money big money STOP!
Damn. Whammy.
I miss me some Del Taco. They don't come a'east of the Pecos, apperantly, cuz I haven't seen one east of Arizona.
We have several here in St. Louis.
of course you do. unfortunately, I dont live near St. Louis.
There's one in St. Simons Island, GA...that's what? 4 or 5 hours away? :)
Trader Joe's Fiesta Chicken Salad. Big Yum. (A wee tad healthier than Del Taco.)
I had a couple of frozen burritos for lunch. For dinner, maybe I'll have a couple of fish tacos from Del Taco in OC's honor.

I hear you can get one on Ebay for reeeeeal cheap these days. Either that, or I'll box one up and ship it out to you. The postage is going to kill me though.
Costco 1/4 pound polish, 20 oz lemonade and a Very Berry sundae, $3.32, thankyouverymuch.
Here's pic of yesterday's lunch site, (subway 12" seafood, the works). Sandwich doesn't appear in picture.
subway club on wheat. MLT
Frozen Marie Calandars chicken fried steak. Corn on the cob doesn't do well in the microwave btw.
Leftover turkey chili and corn cakes made from a "Rachel Ray's 30-Minute-Meals" recipe. I love that show.

Wrap the corn with waxed paper after buttering, salt and pepper.
Acme had deli ham buy one pound, get one pound free.
I am going to be eating ham for a while.
I have to decide whether one can reasonably cook a ham and cheese omelet and microwave it back to life.
Probably not. Even if the egg would survive the microwaving, I can't eat an omelet without good crispy toast. Good cripsy toast is not an option at the nuthouse.
Jimmy John's Tuna sub... mmmmmmm!
I love Jimmy Johns...
I thought they only did Hot Dogs?
Nevermind. You're not in SE PA.
As far as I know, they just do sandwiches... it is a chain. The corporate headquarters is here in town, so they are literally everywhere in town.
I'm going to pretend that I am Audrey Hepburn (watched BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S last night) and exsist on air. I'll eat virtually nothing for lunch and try to regain my human shape.
Leftover turkey chili and corn cakes made from a "Rachel Ray's 30-Minute-Meals" recipe. I love that show.
I had the fruit salad with sour cream & yogurt dressing from her show not long ago. Fabulous....
I love her show too. And Rachel aint too bad, either.. :luv:
I work from 10-2 today (my current primary money-maker is delivering pizzas for a local chain), so I'll probably have a sandwich and some cheese garlic bread afterwards.
