Lunch: What's on the menu?

[Kätzchen]

I have been "spring-cleaning" my studio apartment and logged a whole bunch of steps since early this morning, which means I am ravenous. :jester:

I made 'Hush-Puppy' Falafel Ball Treats and they are seriously …

Scrumptious~ :hk18:

You can find my homemade recipe * HERE * (http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1259368#post1259368)

BonAppétit (https://www.bonappetit.com/)

[Chad]

Mom and I are having our traditional New Years Day meal. Black-eyed peas, cornbread, sausage, and homemade coleslaw.

I think it is southern food but mom says it is Irish. Black-eyed peas so that you will always have food and coleslaw (green) so that you will have money.

Even though I am adopted mom and I both have Irish blood.

[Orema]

Left over Greek salad that is jam packed with char broiled veggies (zucchini, bell peppers, artichoke hearts), char broiled chicken, tomatoes, olives, pickles, feta, and almost no lettuce.

I added lettuce with a lemon and oil dressing and it’s perfect.

[Gemme]

I had beef teriyaki with the last of the broccoli Italiano and a giant green salad. Water to drink.

[Bèsame*]

Looks like Chinese. Hmmmm, shrimp of some kind!

Meeting my bestie, she has been the best support in the last couple of months !

It was extra spicy and enough for lunch tomorrow!

[Orema]

Spring salad with tuna, croutons, and lemon and oil dressing.

[Gemme]

I guess it's technically more of a brunch since I haven't had breakfast but I'm having a stuffed pepper, some juice and maybe a salad.

[Kätzchen]

I kinda set the chili aside because I realized I have a bunch of veggie patties that need to be consumed before they're not good anymore (use before this date, type of thing).

So I had two veggie patties and a half sack of those frozen roasted veggies with Rosemary seasoning.... which I had for dinner tonight too.

I'll get back to the home made chili soon because what inspired me to make it was an episode on Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me: a story about the Fart Fairy's, these guys who wanted to do something to help women being cat called and harassed in Washington Square Park. They'd go around farting on those wretched harassers, to make them go away. Chili makes me fart, so I'm on a mission (Farting on those who won't leave me alone, etc). Sounds terrible, but I was inspired and it's actually working. Who Knew, Right?

[Stone-Butch]

One huge hot dog (haven't had one since Moses was in knee pants) with the works on it and ice tea.

[Bèsame*]

I had lunch with a friend today.
https://cdn.quotesgram.com/img/14/18/607823365-It-is-more-fun-to-talk-with-someone.png
Mesquite grilled chicken salad. So big, I brought have the salad part home. I'm turning it in to dinner.

[charley]

Ran some errands, banking, etc. and went to this Supermarket to pick up some Chinese food for lunch from their extensive deli counters. This Supermarket has mainly but not all Asian staff (Chinese) as well as loads of Asian foodstuffs. I did ask them at the main counter at the front whether any of their staff has come back from China recently, and the women said, "Yes!", I said, "Oh!", and then she added that they were told not to come in for work (their supermarket policy). I smiled, and said, "Good."

There is such a thing as the coronavirus, 4 cases so far in Canada. Curiously, on my way there on the bus, there was an older woman wearing a surgical mask. I thought that was a bit premature, even though there has been one man here in B.C. who has been tested and found to be positive for the virus (he's recovering).

The Chinese food is delish :)

[Orema]

Spring salad with tuna, croutons, and lemon and oil dressing.

So good.

:pursebee:

[Orema]

One of the good cooks brought in a salad made of watermelon radishes (https://grist.org/food/whats-a-watermelon-radish-and-what-do-i-do-with-it/), fennel, olive oil and lemon. She offered me some and I added a touch of salt. It was delicious.

[Orema]

Spring salad with tuna, lemon/olive oil dressing, pepper, and a tiny bit of salt while I sit at my desk and listen to an all company meeting. Very tasty.

Most employees are having lunch with the bosses after this meeting, but I'm just not in the mood. Would rather continue working while I eat at my desk.

My manager won't like this (she loooooves for her team to show up for these meetings/luncheons), but it's the best I can do today.

[Orema]

Protein burger from In and Out, fries, soda pop.

[kittygrrl]

We shared a Smoothie

[Bèsame*]

spinach and ricotta cheese in puffed pastry.

Coconut coffee

[Kätzchen]

I had a nice garden salad with the best tasting cucumbers sliced up on top,
served with a creamy balsamic dressing and a sprinkling of sunflower seeds.

I also had a few freshly baked macaroons. OMG, sooooo goood.

[Orema]

spring salad with tuna, cheddar chips, lemon/olive oil while sitting at my desk and reading the news. Very good.

:bow:

[Gemme]

I honestly have no idea. Maybe Granny Smith apples with peanut butter? I had a late breakfast so maybe nothing at all.

[Kätzchen]

*LOL*

I must have worked up a giant appetite this week because I am eating a lot of things today. I've got the homemade vegetable barley soup going on the stove for supper tonight... but in the meantime, for Lunch, I have been eating Ritz crackers and putting tons of vegan 'cream cheese' on them. I added roasted minced garlic and scallions to my vegan 'cream cheese' stuff and it's so good that I keep eating more and more of it. :canadian:

[JDeere]

4 pounds of crawfish...

With mushrooms, onion, sausage and a couple potatos. Trying to cut down some starch stuff.

Couple of bloody marys to drink. Water too.

[Martina]

I had turkey and cheese on one of those thin rounds. I'm going to miss bread when I run out. I have only one loaf in the freezer for after this. Small freezer.

Cherry tomatoes
Olives stuffed with jalapenos
Diet iced tea

I will miss fresh produce too, but I will be fine. I have frozen and canned fruits and vegetables. I imagine I can survive a month before going to the store. I do fear that when I really need to go, it will be the height of the outbreak. I always have such good luck. We will see. I could do one of those grocery delivery orders like I did after my surgery and then wipe down the packages. Lord. It's a lot. If I get sick, then I don't have to worry about avoiding infection, just avoiding infecting others, which is a little easier. Not that I want to get sick.

I have friends in Northern California who have probably already had it. They were sick, but testing wasn't available. They are holed up anyway. There is a shelter in place order, but at least they don't have to worry about catching it.

[easygoingfemme]

I ate pierogies. They were not gluten free and I am paying for that a little but it was worth it.

[Orema]

Spinach salad with tuna and lemon/olive oil dressing.

The grocer didn't have spring salad so spinach it is.

Could be worse.

:pursebee:

[Kätzchen]

Caramelized Jalapeno slices and sliced Portabello, enveloped in Mascarpone Italian cream cheese; with three tiny sliced pieces of Artisan Rustic Rye Seeded bread. Hot herbal Tazo Passion tea and water, to drink.

:cherry: <<<<<<~~ dried Morrello cherries, for after-lunch treat.

[Stone-Butch]

Ham and swiss quiche. Coffee.

[Stone-Butch]

Grilled cheese sandwich and tomato rice soup........ ice tea.

[Kätzchen]

I didn't have breakfast today and it's a bit early, but I think I will make brunch in a little bit.

I'll make a small omelette, to include a few salad type veggies; then have a few sections of grapefruit. Hot herbal tea and water to drink.

[Orema]

Spinach salad with a chopped egg and lemon/oil dressing. I forgot to bring my tuna today. It's better than nothing at all.

[Kätzchen]

Sections of freshly sectioned Ruby Red Grapefruit. A few seeded crackers, with a Basil/Rosemary type of pesto and garnished with tiny pieces of freshly cut Sierra region organic Fig's. A cup of hot herbal tea and a quarter of water to drink, on the side.

[Gemme]

I had a blueberry bagel with whipped butter, oj and turkey patties.

[easygoingfemme]

A really good soup. I made the stock yesterday after roasting a chicken and then loaded the stock up with a ton of veggies and a bit of chicken.

[Orema]

Today it's tuna on top of an avocado.

Would rather have a burger and fries, but this could be worse.

[Stone-Butch]

a homemade burger with cheese and tomatoes and lettuce and pickles and mustard and sauteed onions. Yum....... ice tea with lemon to drink.

[Stone-Butch]

Broccoli and cheddar soup topped with a lot of slivered cheddar.

[Orema]

[Orema]

Gluten-free crackers and lemon/thyme infused tuna.

I hope it's as filling as it is tasty.

[Orema]

Spring salad, tuna, a few crouton, lemon/oil dressing.

[PlatinumPearl]

Multigrain bread toasted then topped with avocado and thin slices of cucumber and tomatoes which were sprinkled with a mix of dried herbs, sea salt and a little bit of apple cider vinegar.

[Bèsame*]

A couple of mochi balls (not the ice cream kind) and matcha tea milk drink. The balls I had* (he hee hee) were matcha tea filled with red bean paste.

Mochi (Japanese: 餅, もち) is Japanese rice cake made of mochigome, a short-grain japonica glutinous rice, and sometimes other ingredients such as water, sugar, and cornstarch. The rice is pounded into paste and molded into the desired shape. In Japan it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki.



*dirty mind is a fun thing to have

[easygoingfemme]

I had packed a lunch of quinoa, diced chicken, cucumbers, celery, dill and cilantro (from my garden).

However, that will now be dinner because I got spoiled with my Daddy bringing me an "unwich"- lettuce wrap instead of bread- turkey/provolone/avocado/cucumber . Super yum!

[Orema]

Avocado topped with tuna and lemon/oil dressing.

[Bèsame*]

Caribbean sushi. Wrapped in rice paper not seaweed.

Handful of berries

[Stone-Butch]

More like brunch.

Fried egg and ham sandwich on a cheese bun. Coffee.

[easygoingfemme]

Quinoa and veggies with lemon juice and braggs for seasoning.

[Kätzchen]

I made a summer pasta salad to take on my picnic. I used high-protein rotinni pasta noodles, cut up a small zucchini, a small sweet red bell pepper, added sweet pickle relish, chia seeds and a small bag of Asian green salad mix, then stirred in the poppy-seed dressing and a few dollops of vegan mayo. It's pretty tasty. Cubed cantaloupe, as a side dish.

[Stone-Butch]

Home made sub. Ham, lettuce, tomato, cheese, ranch dressing on a crusty roll. Ice tea with lots of lemon.

[Gemme]

I had Caesar salad, a slice of pepperoni pizza, water to drink and ice cream for dessert.

Mac and cheese. Is there such a thing as using too much 3 cheese blend? Ice tea with lots of lemon.

[Orema]

Sardines, crackers, mustard. Perfect.

[Orema]

Avocado and tuna with lemon, olive oil, and a shot of tequila on the side.

[Stone-Butch]

Ham and swiss on a bun with lettuce,tomato, green pepper, red onion and ranch dressing. Ice tea.

[Orema]

Very good.

So far iced mocha.

[Gemme]

I had a sandwich, the last of the Greek pasta salad, Lipton Half & Half and dill pickle chips.

[firegal]

2 soft tacos.

[Stone-Butch]

Homemade ham and cheese sub., tomatoes, lettuce, green pepper, purple onion, oil and vinegar dressing. Iced tea.

[PlatinumPearl]

Avocado toast with tomato and cucumber, sea salt and fresh herbs and a spinach salad with strawberries, blueberries, walnuts and a honey lemon poppy seed dressing.

[firegal]

Southwest salad.

[homoe]

Southwest salad.




That sounds good BUT not as good as a hunk of Cloverleaf pizza....

[Gemme]

It was brunch, technically, but I had a Bubba burger with MW, steak sauce and pickle chips with a side of crispy crinkle fries and a new concoction of Raspberry lemonade mixed with oj. It was all really good.

[Orema]

Avocado, tuna, with a lemon, herb and oil dressing.

Very tasty.

[Stone-Butch]

Creme of broccoli cheese soup.

[C0LLETTE]

Creme of broccoli cheese soup.

[Gemme]

I had pepperoni pizza and a tiny can of root beer.

[C0LLETTE]

defrosted chicken leg, defrosted corn niblets, defrosted mashed potatoes.

much to hot to cook...microwaves may give off dangerous micro waves but not a whole lot of heat.

[Stone-Butch]

Sausage, egg and cheese on a toasted english muffin. Coffee.

[PlatinumPearl]

A frozen smoothie made with spinach, banana, pineapple and frozen berries. I used filtered water to blend my smoothie and added a drizzle of honey on top.

[PlatinumPearl]

Oatmeal and raisin breakfast cookies and an icy cold smoothie made with spinach, banana and frozen fruits - mango, pineapple, and mixed berries. I used herb infused water to blend my smoothie and added a little bit of maple syrup to sweeten.

[firegal]

had a small turkey taco salad from small local business to participate in support Black business Tuesday.

It was delish.

[C0LLETTE]

Still really too hot to eat anything substantial.
Coleslaw and a chicken leg doesn't sound too exhausting.
And, NO, it isn't from KFC.
Well, maybe it is. It's been in the freezer for a bit so who knows.

[Wrang1er]

How big is this freezer? 😉

[C0LLETTE]

It's not one of those freezers that "CSI ", "Major Crimes" or "Closer" finds frozen bodies of blonde co-eds in.

Top of my fridge. Maybe room for a blonde co-ed cheerleader's pompoms, that's about it.

How would it differ for the pompoms of a brunette or a ginger? I had no idea the pompoms were sized. 7am and I learned something new!

I have one of the big CSI freezers that need to get cleaned out but I'm pretty sure it's safe.

[easygoingfemme]

Lunch today is leftovers from last night. Salad with fresh greens from the garden and chicken cooked with home made pesto (basil from the garden) and mozzarella. It's so hot at work though it might end up being dinner. It's hard to eat when you're sitting in a swamp.

[firegal]

A hamburger.... but i use flour tortilla instead of bun.

Ok OK..Well, best advice: Make sure you have someone and a camera with you when you open it. Spray the entire interior with 'luminol" (wtf ever that is ...but it is science ).

If it doesn't turn pale violet inside, toss in a side of beef, 100 packs of frozen Thai veggies, some frozen fries and if there's still room, a quart of vodka.

You're prepare for the Apocalypse...start chanting and gloating.

Lmao. I'll put on my headlamp and pour bleach into it and hope for the best. Everything else feels too involved and holds too much potential for me to serve unjust jail time.

Then, swap the beef for a bunch of chickens and the vodka for whiskey and I am allllll set. On, and not just some frozen fries. LOTS of frozen fries.

[Gemme]

It's lunchtime but I'm calling it brunch since it's my first meal of the day. Sour cream and chives mashed potatoes with sweet peas and a baked chicken cutlet. A wee bit of sweet 'n sour sauce for the chicken and Lipton Half & Half to drink.

[Kätzchen]

I have no idea, and it is not good to not know what i want, mostly because my appetite is in rage mode, right now.

:jester:

I might skip lunch and go for a long drive to a secret destination for a fabulous supper and maybe stay over night for the weekend.

It is super hot here. Which is never good.


Fun times tonight tho. TGIF!
Yay!! :blueheels:

[Gemme]

I had steak, steamed broccoli and deviled egg potato salad. Sweet tea to drink.

[Orema]

Chicken korma from my favorite indian-food restaurant. First time getting a delivery from them. Hoping they include riata, chutneys, naan. Taking a needed break from the diet. So looking forward to this.

:bow:

[FireSignFemme]

Lemon meringue pie and coffee with half and half. I know, I know.

[Gemme]

I had Santa Fe Beans and Rice and some mini club crackers with Del's Pink Lemonade.

[Orema]

Some homemade egg foo yung patties that came out just right and sautéed bok choi on the side.

[Mopsie]

I had a noodle bowl for lunch as well as some more yummy cantaloupe.

https://d2d8wwwkmhfcva.cloudfront.net/800x/d2lnr5mha7bycj.cloudfront.net/product-image/file/large_5797670d-9d2d-4d19-aa41-badbc8d05f4d.jpeg

[firegal]

sirloin patty and cottage cheese

[Orema]

Egg foo young patties with a little butter and salt. So good.

[VintageFemme]

I've been on a grilled cheese sandwich kick for a little while. So yummy on Sara Lee's Artesano bread.

[Bèsame*]

Lunch with my bestie after I finish my shift. All I can think about right now is an ice cold diet Coke. I'm living on 5 hours of sleep today...bring on the caffeine!!

[Mopsie]

I've been on a grilled cheese sandwich kick for a little while. So yummy on Sara Lee's Artesano bread.

Have you seen that commercial that is simply a grilled cheese sandwich on a griddle? Every time I see it I want one! So yummy!

[easygoingfemme]

I found some gluten free Panera bread clam chowder at the bodega by work. It wasn't the best or worst I've ever had. I probably should have just eaten the lunch that I packed though...

[clementinefemme]

Not sure this counts because it's what I'm having for dinner lol, but I'm making falafel for the first time!!! So excited. I love preparing food with friends. It's gonna be a lovely evening.

Now you've got me curious - I've never had falafel so I went and watched a video about making it at home. Looks yummy! Hope you will tell us about your cooking experience. :)

Hi, Mopsie! It went really well! They were a lot easier than I thought to make. I would highly recommend trying it!

This is the recipe we used, except we omitted the yogurt sauce as I'm vegan: https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a54231/easy-homemade-falafel-recipe/

Also, we added extra parsley, but that's just preference!

That's great! Thanks for sharing the recipe! I'm going to put it on my list and see if my friend will try it with me! :)

[Mopsie]

I made some pasta salad with rotini, cucumber, green pepper, feta, and italian dressing. It turned out yummy. :) (Sorta looks like the photo below)

[Gemme]

I had a chicken apple sausage link with rice pilaf and pink lemonade. Three Reese's cups and two handfuls of mini club crackers later and I was good.

[Mopsie]

Today family came over for a "socially distanced" grill out. I had two ears of corn on the cob. (With lotsa butter of course) Plus some rice and then two babybel cheese rounds (or wheels??). I was very full!

OMG I'm so sorry - that picture is huge! I'm not technically skilled enough to size it down. Yikes - next time I will do better- promise.

[Mopsie]

I tried a new recipe today. My friend is eating low carb but has been missing Mexican food. So we made this (https://hip2keto.com/recipes/keto-ground-beef-enchiladas/) recipe together. (I used "fake meat" by Gardein for mine.) It was yummy! :chef:

Lunch was a Wahlburger on an Artisano toasted bun with MW and dill pickle chips. I may have also finished off the last of the Reese's mini cups. Pom-ale to drink.

[Wrang1er]

I had BLTs. Minus the L and the T.

[Gemme]

I've been on a grilled cheese sandwich kick for a little while. So yummy on Sara Lee's Artesano bread.

I may be addicted to their burger buns. I haven't tried the bread yet but now I want to.

[Mopsie]

I'm off work today so I decided to make this (https://thekitchengirl.com/3-bean-vegan-chili/) chili to take for lunches this week. It turned out yummy!

https://thekitchengirl.com/wp-content/uploads/vegan-vegetarian-chili-recipe.jpg

[Orema]

Dill pickle sandwich.

Low-carb tortilla spread with cream cheese, topped with the dill pickles, salt and pepper. So good.

I used to have cream cheese and pickles on pita bread, but it works on low-carb tortillas.

[Pacificblu]

A bacon bourbon chicken salad

[FireSignFemme]

Last of the potstickers, some jasmine rice with stir fried mushrooms and green beans. Broccoli zapped in the microwave then with just a bit of sweet teriyaki sauce splashed on. Water to drink and maybe a couple of sugar cookies for dessert. I tripled the recipe, rolled it all into individual balls of dough, then froze 2/3 of them. If I have to thaw them out then I pace myself better than I do if I just bake them all at once and kept some on the counter, in the fridge and freezer fridge.

[Gemme]

A bacon bourbon chicken salad

This sounds delicious.

[Stone-Butch]

More like brunch, just made some egg salad and had sandwich on a sausage roll topped with crispy bacon. Coffee.

[Gemme]

I think I'm going to cook up a Wahlburger and maybe some crispy crinkly fries too. Can't eat this stuff late at night so lunch is the right time for this deliciousness.

[RebelDyke]

It is definitely a chili kind of day

[Gemme]

It was more like brunch but I had a burger, mac 'n cheese and an apple. Oj to drink.

[Stone-Butch]

Made myself a hot dog on a sausage bun. (haven't had one for ages). Ice tea.

[Gemme]

I had an Artesano sausage bun with a pan fried turkey dog, mustard and Pickle de gallo. Water to drink and a Halo.

[Orema]

Pickle and cream cheese on low-carb tortilla

[Stone-Butch]

Large cheese bun and coffee.

[Gemme]

I had a banana with a schmear of reduced fat peanut butter and water to drink.

[Orema]

Emerald Bliss smoothie: parsley, power greens, celery, cucumber, apple, ginger.

Not eating enough veggies and fruit. Am going to include smoothies like this one in my diet. I think the fuji apples will make my diet more low-carb than keto and may slow down the rate I'm losing weight, but that's cool. I can work with that.

[Stone-Butch]

More like brunch: egg salad sandwich and coffee. (made it yesterday YUM)

[Gemme]

I thought I had a bag of fake meat crumbles in the freezer but when I looked, it was not there so I improvised. I still had the tacos that I planned but I baked a breaded chicken patty then sliced it up between the two tacos. On the tacos I put sour cream, guac, chipotle sauce, black beans, a smidge of diced black olives, cheese and the cut up chicken. Taco Bell mild sauce to dip it in. I also had no shredded lettuce but I knew that going into it. I just really wanted a darn taco, y'all.

[Mopsie]

I was off work today so I tried a new recipe for lunch. I made Yellow Curry with Vegetables and Potatoes (https://nutritiousminimalist.com/yellow-curry-with-vegetables-potatoes/). It was pretty good. Though next time I might had some pepper or hot sauce.

https://i0.wp.com/nutritiousminimalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/IMG_3390-800w-min.jpg?resize=800%2C559&ssl=1

[Gemme]

Lunch was a wrap with ham, cheese, mustard and pickles nuked for a few seconds to take the chill off plus this (https://www.oikosyogurt.com/greek-yogurt-protein/triple-zero/peach/) and some water to drink.

[Gemme]

I had a spicy chicken patty baked with spaghetti squash and pickled asparagus. Water to drink.

[Kätzchen]

I'm making an interesting casserole, of sorts, which will be for lunch or supper.

I browned Black Bean 'burger' patties, first, in evoo.

Then I used some high-protein Penne pasta (veggie protein, low sugar index) and let it cook with the Black Bean 'burger' patties (which I cut up after they were cooked thoroughly).

To finish the entire concoction, I bought a jar of non-GMO squash and white bean 'pasta' sauce and poured half of the quart jar of sauce over the entire mix.

I bake it in the oven for about half an hour and sprinkle non-cheese veggie 'cheese' over the top, then use a dollop of non-dairy 'sour cream' on top of each serving.

I'm having a small serving of it right now and it is delish!

Very satisfying and warms me up, since it is very cold here today.

The squash and white bean sauce is made by Prego and it is inexpensive and rich in dense nutrients and protein from vegetables and beans.

https://www.prego.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/white-bean-roasted-garlic-italian-sauce.png

[Gemme]

That does sound good, Katz!

I took the remaining half of my dinner salad from last night (Avocado Ranch) and split it up into 2/3 and 1/3 ratios. Two-thirds went into a bowl and was tossed as a salad should be and the remaining one-third was added to a Greek flatbread.

I also cut up some gourmet tomatoes and added slices of mozzarella and some balsamic vinaigrette to make a poor man's Caprese salad.

So, basically I had two salads and a sandwich for lunch. Water to drink. I'll be stuffed for a while so dinner will be light and late.

[Orema]

Yesterday I tried a beyond burger with fries and it was okay.

Today is a Greek salad with char-broiled veggies and chicken. Very good and the perfect meal to get back into my low-carb groove.

[Gemme]

Today I had a spicy chicken patty with French style string beans and Cracker Barrel Cheddar Havarti mac 'n cheese. Water to drink.

Yesterday my lunch was a piece of The Rustik Oven Hearty Grains and Seeds (https://therustikoven.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiA17P9BRB2EiwAMvwNyGU-Btoq-g2i1NeSpI9TtUDgOjxQyKbvWxV4tI6QZWfcxHk8XqbKPBoC5PQ QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) bread with provolone, avocado oil mayo, dill pickle chips and roasted turkey. It's a new bread and it's GIANT. One piece is as wide as two of my hands laid side by side and as tall as the width of one of my hands so I just fold it over and voila, instant sandwich. I had water to drink with it.

No lunch for me today, technically, as I got up late and will have two meals today. My brunch, however, is an apple with shepherd's pie and oj to drink.

Unfortunately we don't have them here!

Oh yikes, do they have them in MI..:|

No, no, no.

But, there's plenty of good Soul food to be had.

Leftover bacon and cheese add mushroom, add diced tomato omelet. Delicious at breakfast but at lunch oh nasty. Omelets just don't reheat well do they? Lots of water to drink to get that taste out my mouth then some coffee with half and half and organic red grapes for dessert. How can grapes possibly be organic and sell for 50 cents less a pound than those that clearly scream POISON! Plus be coated in some sort of horrid dust? Well since I'll eat poisoned ones I guess it really makes no difference but truth in advertising people come on.

I had a dental appointment today and the student who finished the last bit of work was so good I was able to go straight after to lunch with my daughter in-law and grandson. We had BLT with avocado sandwhichs on some type of Subway sandwhich like roll only bigger and better, multi-grain with all sorts of things on top, poppyseed, seasonings I'm not sure what else. To go with a cup of their homemade potato soup with bacon bits. Coffee with cream. Though all the offerings looked great no dessert, it was a huge lunch.

I’ve been hooked on adding cabbage to my daily meals. For breakfast I often do a two egg scramble with finely chopped cabbage and carrots. For lunch I sometimes make a cabbage “steak” pan seared in evoo with feta melted on top and a sprinkling of blueberries (it’s yummy), and now that summer is nearly here I’m going to make cold gazpacho soup with cabbage.
