I’m hungry, working from home and am about to go out and get something for lunch but I dont know what I want to eat. Please tell what you’re going to eat or just give me a suggestion.
I’m in Boston so they’re plenty of choices, but want to keep it relatively cheap so dont suggest the Four Seasons. I’ll probably pick it up and bring it back home. I hate eating in restaraunts alone.

Roast beef and swiss hoagie with lettuce, tomato, oil, vinegar, salt, and oregano, good stuff.

You’ve probably already eaten but I got a baked ham and cheese sandwich from a local pizza place. They have good garlic pickles, excellent iced tea and addictive ranch dressing.
Hope you had a good lunch!

I raided the fridge and cobbled together a most excellent quesadilla: 2 tortillas, leftover taco beef, cheddar cheese, and salsa. I’m also having 2 rather large carrots on the side.

Subway 6" turkey on wheat, lettuce, tomato, onion (red - nice to get a choice now), green peppers, olives, cucumber, mustard, pepper.

I just ate the worst fuckin’ chicken salad I’ve ever had. I now must go raid someone’s candy dish to get the taste out of my mouth. Blechhhhh!
I could use a steak and a baked potato right about now.

I just had Chinese Beef and Broccoli. They make it as hot and spicy as they can, just for me.

I just came back from Wendy’s. I had their Monterey Ranch Chicken sandwich. I’ve been going there all week, I love these things!

Well, I ended up getting a Meatball Sub(Grinder where I come from), and Lay’s BBQ chips… not the best lunch I’ve had but it sure did hit the spot.

I had spicy tomato and lentil soup accompanied by crusty bread and goat’s cheese. Of course, if I’d been well enough to venture out of the house, it might have been very different.

Aren’t they great? I’ve had them twice this week!
Today, I had a 6" chicken parmesan sub from a local deli that makes their own sub rolls. Yum. A little too messy for lunch, though - I’ll have to stick with the turkey next time.

IN case you need future ideas:
I had leftover grilled chicken with spicy Thai Garlic & Basil Rice and a Thai cucumber salad. Mmmm.

I also just came from Wendy’s, drive-thru on the way home. I’m eating 3 servings of .99 cent chicken nuggets, with sweet and sour sauce, and a large coke.
I feel so healthy.
