Tuna fish on soft wheat bread. I didn’t have any lettuce or carrots, so I put pretzels in the sandwiches to shake things up. Unfortunately the pretzels were soggy by lunch time (duh!). BUT, they added a really nice salt fix. Those and a handful of Wavy Lays, and gotta say, not a bad lunch. Think next time I’ll keep the pretzels separate until time to eat. Any interesting lunches today? ---

Not interesting. I had chicken strips and french fries, which I got because the ramen and apple I had brought to work suddenly seemed inadequate. I’m trying to stop the fried food, as I’ve gotten very stout in the last few years, but it’s _hard_. ---

A tin of Heinz Beef Broth and 2 slices of wholemeal bread. It’s bloody cold here at the moment so a nice hot bowl of soup is appreciated come lunch time. ---

Brought a salad to work. Huge tupperware of shredded romaine leaves, carrot shreddies, pomegranate seeds, chopped pecans, carrot shreddies, red cabbage, grilled chicken (which I always bring in a separate container to heat since I hate cold chicken) with some yummy Trader Joe’s Cranberry Gorgonzola dressing. ---

BF took the ham bone from Thanksgiving dinner out of the freezer yesterday and spent his snow day off making ham and lentil soup. Leftovers were today’s lunch. Sooo good! ---

About 15 mini-pancakes and a hot dog. Nice, right? ---

Roast beef sandwich with provolone cheese, one of those 100-cal. bags of Cheetos, and some blueberry yogurt. I should have eaten the apple I brought instead of the Cheetos, but damn, I love Cheetos. ---

Today for lunch I had a donut and some home made chocolate-coconut candy. We had a staff Christmas breakfast, and everyone brought sweets. It just seemed wrong to spend money on a sandwich when there was all that food there. Got a bit of a sugar buzz going on now, though. ---

I haven’t had it yet (it’s not even 9.00am yet!). But it’s likely to be a sandwich of some sort: ham and salad etc. ---

Leftover spaghetti with homemade spinach meatballs. So freaking good. I only have two meatballs left and I am hoarding those suckers. ---

Chicken and sausage gumbo served over brown rice, with french bread to sop up the remains. God, I love Louisiana in the winter. 🙂 ---

Skipped it, I’m afraid. Was putting the new BBQ together. “Some assembly required.” :rolleyes: Dinner will be sandwiches of sauteed Italian sausage, onion and peppers on fresh rolls. Yummmm. ---

The McDonald’s Dollar Menu is my friend. McDouble, McChicken, small fries, and small black coffe: under five bucks! Even with Chicago/Cook County confiscatory sales taxes. Yumm!! ---

I needed to relax during lunch (a shouting match with a coworker made me realize I was wound pretty tight today) so I had a big plate of hot and spicy chicken from the local Japanese place. Excellent food. ---
