Lunch! (2003-2012)

[Shiewie]

Wnt home for lunch - there were no leftovers for lunch today so got some takeout noodles

- flat rice noodles with mince pork in dark soy sauce, pork balls, couple of slices of liver sausage and scallions

[bergerka]

A barbacoa burrito at Chipotle, with pinto beans (NO RICE, makes the burrito too filling!), sour cream, cheese, lettuce and two kinds of salsa.

And a diet coke.

4 cheese ravioli in a mushroom cream sauce at Osteria Del Figo. and a Mango Ceylon iced tea.

this is my new favorite meal.

[beans]

Half of a cuban sandwich, a small bunch of red seedless grapes and a tall ice tea. Yum. What a delightful use for a pickle.

[KatieLoeb]

I just test drove a couple of our lunch specials today. I had a bowl of Mushroom Bisque with Truffle Oil & Chives and a Roasted Beet Salad with Boucheron Goat Cheese, Crispy Shallots and Balsamic Reduction.

It was probably rude to nuke this in the lunchroom, but I had leftover brussels sprouts with bacon and hazelnuts, plus a roast beef sandwich on the whole wheat bread from Baking with Julia.

[laurenmilan]

Swedish pancakes at IHOP and a carafe of coffee. Sue me.

[bergerka]

oooh, the pancakes sound lovely.

I had a mixed-greens salad with red and gold peppers, a hard-boiled egg, kidney beans, peas, mushrooms, a sprinkling of blue cheese, and balsamic vinegar. And a lovely sweet and crunchy golden delicious apple (I can't stand apples unless they're crunchy and sweet & juicy enough to get all over me). And a bottle of seltzer.

A slice of buffalo chicken pizza, and a slice of pepperoni pizza, both liberally doused with garlic & red pepper, and a Stewarts root beer, at the upstairs cafe at Wegmans before doing some graocery shopping.

[bleudauvergne]

Salad plates at the canteen - one containing a sardine, half a tomato and 1/2 a boiled egg on a bed of lettuce, and the other with deviled eggs. A plain yogurt and a clementine.

[beans]

Eeegads. I want to trade lunch with everybody else!

I was bad today and had a M&M icecream cookie sandwich. I'm still zooming on that poor choice of excess sugar.

[tsquare]

Diaffa - Morrocan grilled chicken and beef with vegi (onions, peppers, zucchini and tomato) saute, and rice with almonds and raisins. Tap water, chilled, no ice.

Whitefish salad on a challah roll, Tropicana Grovestand OJ, and a little square of mint-infused chocolate.

[tryska]

ice cream. 1 scoop ginger, 1 scoop brown sugar vanilla.

Depression-Era Lunches made me want to bump this up -- and as a special treat for those of you who can't get cheap Thai street food near your office, I give you pad thai, big bao, and roasted coconut juice from a lunch last week:

Today I went home with a stomach virus, so I won't be sharing any pix, I'm afraid.

So, like the thread title says: What'd ya have fer lunch, friend?

[Megan Blocker]

Good call, Chris!

I had take-out from an upscale deli down the street. I got an assortment of salads and veggies, including broccoli rabe and green beans with garlic, cucumber, tomato and red onion with oregano, and a farfalle-pesto-spinach thing. Yummy!

[*Deborah*]

I had homemade (by the Kolachy Shop, not by me) Chorizo and Black Bean soup, and leftover homemade (by me) cornbread. So half-made, half-bought. Better than usual!

[LoriZig]

Leftovers for me:

brown rice ziti

homemade tomato basil sauce

homemade Italian-herbed chicken breast

Carrots, broccoli, cauliflower with sea salt

a piece of raspberry fruit leather

large DD iced French vanilla with skim milk and Splenda

[Ling]

leftover prime rib and mushroom gravy

[sparrowgrass]

Left over hot and sour soup, homemade. My uncle gave me a big bag of shiitakes from his mushroom "ranch" and that is my favorite way to use them.

[rooftop1000]

I had a meatball on buttered whole wheat bread....I had to test the meatballs for dinner right?

I have about a dozen uncles and not a single one has a mushroom ranch. Two questions: (1) What's a "mushroom ranch"? (2) Can one adopt an uncle?

[Soup]

I had a bag of fries from 5 Guys (local hamburger joint). The bag was soaked in grease by the time I got it up to my office. But, all that peanut oil sure made it taste good.

I'll have something heathy tomorrow.
