plthijinx • Oct 12, 2005 12:09 pm
I'm thinking sushi. yeah,*pausing and looking out the window from the office* sushi.
jinx • Oct 12, 2005 12:20 pm
I had sushi yesterday. Gimme another idea, I'm starving.
Sundae • Oct 12, 2005 12:21 pm
Its what's for dinner in my case.
Probably chicken chilli. And too many beers.
LabRat • Oct 12, 2005 12:21 pm
bored today? :)

Tuna salad on triscuits. I love the new no drain tuna packs.
melidasaur • Oct 12, 2005 12:47 pm
Taco Soup... corn muffin... apple or banana... string cheese... water...

I just kind of eat all day long, so lunch is an all day affair for me.
Trilby • Oct 12, 2005 12:47 pm

BUT! I love hearing about your killer lunches! :) :)

Campbells tomato soup with ritz crackers crumbled in it, seltzer. I know ugg but it has been raining here forever at least. Makes for a soup day
Undertoad • Oct 12, 2005 1:24 pm

Frozen chicken chimichanga from Trader Joe's.

Dole fruit cup (mandarin oranges).

Pepsi.

Turkey, pepperoni and American cheese on tortilla.

We did Pho again. No durian milkshake, though. :shudder:

I brought a ham and cheese sandwich from home. A big fistfull of Rold Gold pretzels from the bag stashed in my bottom desk drawer, and a tall cup of water.

Yummy, fairly healthy, and cheap!
Troubleshooter • Oct 12, 2005 2:19 pm
Shrimp stew over chicken and sausage jambalaya, homemade potato salad, bread pudding with rum sauce and a giant ice tea (hold the ice).

Hate me all you want...

Funny you ask...

I was going to start my own thread on a different subject, but I like the idea of hijacking the pilot's thread instead.

I have been following the conversation in the Fatter than God thread,

Edit: Changed my mind. Thread rerouted to here.

Sandwich ... 1/2 turkey, 1/2 ham. Small amount of cesar salad. Fruit. Cookies. Grape Soda.

I was at a conference. That's what they served.

Pizza and coffee :coffee:
dar512 • Oct 12, 2005 11:23 pm
Today was chili mac. Great day for it too.
Clodfobble • Oct 12, 2005 11:31 pm
A granola bar, a bag of peanut M&M's, and a coke. These were spread out over a 5 hour period or so, but it was all I ate today until dinner. It was a busy day at work and I couldn't leave to go get food.
bluecuracao • Oct 12, 2005 11:49 pm
Ugh, my schedule's all off so I slept through lunch. Had a great dinner though--french dip with gruyere and a romaine salad.
feesh13 • Oct 13, 2005 1:10 am
I had pizza for lunch and dinner.
slang • Oct 13, 2005 1:42 am
Sausage pizza and an enormous Coke. Sam's club has a great special, 2 LARGE slices of pizza with drink for less than $5.

Cheap-cheap, good-good.
lheene • Oct 13, 2005 2:41 am
half serving of fettucini alfredo. YUM!!!
Tonchi • Oct 13, 2005 2:47 am
Four biscotti and a Cherry Diet Coke. Yeah I know, that is absurd and I have no excuse.
Crimson Ghost • Oct 13, 2005 4:14 am
An Italian sub, 4 slices of pizza, 3 cannolli, a litre of Pepsi, and to top it off, a wafer thin mint. And yet, I manage to keep my weight under 500 pounds.

Yay! I love finding siblings scattered across the globe (my Mum has some explaining to do though).

I googled Spanish Peanuts but the descriptions were rather.... well, dry. Why Spanish Peanuts rather than standard salted peanuts?

Am not a nut fan myself - when on health kicks I tend to eat seeds instead. Oh except I once had a tub of Kick Yo Ass Hot Peanuts. Gave myself stomach ache all over Christmas that year because I couldn't keep my hands off them!
Trilby • Oct 13, 2005 11:31 am
tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. A real coke (not diet).

One of my favorite self-pity lunches. I am wallowing in self pity today. You stand warned. :bawling:
melidasaur • Oct 13, 2005 1:08 pm
I ate at the cafeteria in one of the residence halls at Univ. of Illinois today - I felt like an undergrad, but for all you can eat at $2.50, it's a total steal.

I had half a calzone, a piece of honey dijon chicken (which rocked!), brocolli, cottage cheese, a piece of turkey and an M&M cookie. Plus, I took a to-go cup of diet coke back to the office with me. I can eat breakfast at the halls for $1.50 and dinner for $3.50 - I never need to go home again!
plthijinx • Oct 13, 2005 1:21 pm
BBQ sandwich, lays kettle cooked jalapeno chips and ice tea from the deli in the next building over....heartburn city!
Elspode • Oct 13, 2005 1:21 pm
I was ambushed by two unexpectedly spicy frozen burritos which I grabbed out of the freezer this morning. Good, but painful.
plthijinx • Feb 16, 2006 1:35 pm
fresh 1" thick cut ribeye
Spexxvet • Feb 16, 2006 1:44 pm
Leftovers: Mashed cauliflower, diced roast beef, some mayo and mustard, american cheese, all heated up, with crushed town house crackers sprinkled on top. :yum: Little Debbie peanut butter chocolate waffle bars for dessert.
jinx • Feb 16, 2006 1:53 pm
The kids are having "nachos" - chips, refries, goat cheddar and winter squash. I'm having sushi I bought last night at Wholefoods. I also have some sushi leftovers in there from dinner last night (Margaret Kuo's in Frazer - not recommended btw) :thepain3:
plthijinx • Feb 16, 2006 1:58 pm
how long will sushi last in the fridge? i do have some leftover from time to time but i'm always skeptacal about it so i never end up eating it....
jinx • Feb 16, 2006 2:04 pm
For me it has about a 50% chance of being edible the next day. I've never gotten sick from leftovers but often its just not appetizing anymore.
FallenFairy • Feb 16, 2006 2:21 pm
I had an amazing Turkey club wrap with killer spicy sauce (from a place in L'Enfant Plaza in DC)...and a water.
Elspode • Feb 16, 2006 2:24 pm
I spent most my lunch break getting a couple of minor fish tank supplies (for my minor fish tank here on my credenza at work), a new plant and some pots for my existing plants in my office. I spend a hell of a lot of time in this place, and so I am actively trying to make it more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

What with the lack of time remaining, I just nabbed a Quik Trip sandwich (prosciutto, pepperoni and provolone on foccacia), a bag of chips, a diet coke and some watermelon flavored pseudo-licorice thingies.
wolf • Feb 16, 2006 2:31 pm
I had a bagel, half with butter and plum jam, the other half with Adams "natural" peanut butter (off brand that I won't be buying again because it was way too oily and lacked peanutty taste, I'm sticking with Crazy Richards from now on).

Tonight, however, I am going out for dinner and will be having Mexican. Los Aztecas in Pottstown (I'd appreciate recommendations for dishes if anyone has been there). A friend of mine is down from Long Island teaching a class and we're getting together tonight.

That is a picture of recently excised fistula. My son had that surgery done a couple of years ago when he developed a pilonital cyst, which caused an anal fistula to form. It was not fun, especially since I was the one who had to do most of the cleaning and redressing twice a day for a month. Furthermore, he subsequently developed infection in the incision site, which later went on to cause him to suffer infected cerebrospinal fluid when he had to have his VP shunt revised a month later.

Not terribly appetizing, either in photo or memory.

I haven't been there but I'd recommend chili rellenos becuase they're so tasty.:yum: I look forward to a review - haven't had good mexican in forever.
wolf • Feb 16, 2006 2:59 pm
The last time I had Mexican, Sycamore, MomSycamore, and I went to Johnny Mañana's in Philadelphia.

I had the big enchi-thingywhatsis and the blue slushy margarita. And complained about the parking.

Everyone was out walking around at lunchtime today in DC. Beautiful day.

I had a blueberry yogurt, a ham and cheese sandwich, and two small brownies, all brought from home. I also had a big cup of water.
plthijinx • Feb 16, 2006 3:16 pm
y'all need to come to Texas for some authentic "Tex-Mex" dishes. i can eat it everyday and not get sick of it. i have a terrible time getting around any beef fajita enchilada dish......
seakdivers • Feb 16, 2006 4:53 pm
I just had a chili boat & a Diet Coke. My stomach is hating me for it.

Lunch today is leftovers from last night - quinoa and vegetable bake. Yumyum. With a Braeburn apple and plain air-popped popcorn.
BrianR • Feb 17, 2006 6:06 am
Two containers of Dannon strawberry-banana yogurt and a lime iced tea.

My scale tells me I'm up a few pounds more than I should be and since I rarely eat properly on the road, I'm trying to make up for it now.

Try La Tolteca - Rte 202, a couple miles north/west of 95. It was tasty and reasonably priced with good margaritas.
wolf • Feb 18, 2006 1:53 am
Sounds interesting, but I can't find an exact location ... is it in Delaware or PA?

(A little further searching has located one in West Chester, seems to be in the Parkway shopping center)

La Tolteca is in Delaware, closer to Dupont hospital. Also try Coyote Crossing in West Chester - a little pricey, but good.

Oh yeah, I agree.... although their margarita's are so tasty and strong the food becomes irrelevant pretty quickly.

Not mexican, but anyone been to Krazy Kats down in Delaware? I have a gift certificate but keep forgetting to plan to go.

La Tolteca also has a location in West Chester next to the Parkway Plaza, right where High Street ends and runs into the bend in Rte 202.

I ate at the Delaware location about 6 years ago, and it was pretty good.

There was also a Mexican restaurant in Delaware down Rte 13 whose name I can't remember. They had a mariachi band on some evenings.

Killer Queen
(Freddie Mercury)

[COLOR=Red]She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Blue]'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette[/COLOR]
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try...

I got it with your "dynamite with a lazer beam", but I couldn't resist the cake line that follows your new tag - in the lunch thread! It was just too enticing. Image
