Two mini-pulled pork sandwiches with a tiny bit of vinegar slaw on top. Leftovers from last night’s dinner. Oh - and water to drink.

Eggplant and chicken sausage in a spiced yogurt-tomato sauce over whole wheat pasta. Sort of an Iranian-Italian experiment. It turned out quite good!

Chili, Mon-Thu this week. Friday there’s a free lunch, I don’t know what they’ll be serving (but who cares, it’s free).

Some leftover roast beef, a sliced up green pepper, a slice of bread I baked yesterday (with butter) and a handful of jellybeans. And a Coke Zero. I also have an orange, but I’m not sure if I’m in the mood to eat it.

Leftover lentil soup, with a little corn and shredded chicken in it. Looked disgusting, tasted delicious. 🙂 In fact, the color is so off-putting that I was actually mentally whining about having to eat it _even though I’ve already had some and know it’s super-tasty._ But as soon as that first spoonful was in my mouth … mmmm.
Will probably nuke up some chicken broth and quinoa in the break room as a midafternoon snack in a bit.

Two grilled Tesco Butcher’s Choice pork sausages on a gigantic hotdog bun with onions, ketchup and English mustard. Washed down with a pint of fizzy water.

A pack of soda biscuits with cinnamon that my daughter brings home from work, and two cups of tea with milk.
**purplehorseshoe** I’m making the lentil soup right now, yum.

I threw a bunch of stuff into the rice cooker: 1 cup brown rice, about a cup and a half of water, some raw diced chicken breast that I’d thawed to use up, half a can of leftover black beans, half a diced red bell pepper, two chopped scallions, and half a packet of taco seasoning. Sprinkled some shredded Mexican cheese over it when it was done. Pretty good.
