A bagel and an apple!

It's still morning -- haven't eaten lunch (or breakfast, for that
matter) yet.  I'll be going to a farewell lunch for a co-worker today.
It's at Bennegans, so I'll probably be eating their one veggie menu
item (some kind of pizza, I think).

it isnt yet 8am, so i'll tell you what i had yesterday.
a tuna-pasta salad, with freshly picked cherry tomatoes.

I got off work just after lunch time today, so I ducked around the corner
and had some French Seafood Chowder from the fish market. Great on a
chilly day like today!

Yesterday I had a veggie burger at Casey's, at the Grex walk debriefing.

well...i think, that since i did't get up untiol noon, this doesn't count...:)

A tomato sandwich on toasted wheat - got to get in those last few weeks of
fresh garden tomatoes!

]Today I was doing a bunch of errands, ended uip doing fastfood.
Yesterday I had lunch with a nurse friend, had a"Hawaiian"
sandwich that included ham, pineapple, and cheese.

i have no clue what i'm going to have for lunch today.

Pepperoni and Sardine pizza.

I generally don't eat lunch.

Salami from Zingerman's on bread from my bread machine, accompanied by an
apple, chips, and Vernor's.

Lunch was a cheese sandwich [on potato bread from the 9th St. Bakery].

Lunch is homemade bean soup and a slice of homemade bread with my own
raspberry/pear sauce on it.

During the cold winter days, lunch is more and more often, a bowl of soup.

I'm trying to avoid lunchmeat... I'm not actually a vegetarian, but I consider
it a good idea to avoid meat anyway.  I've been experimenting with various
pattie type things from the "Health" food freezer at the store.  So far no
problem, except for the price...

I keep looking at the fake lunchmeats and wondering....

It's pretty easy (even I can do it) to fry up a burger using Falafel mix and
on top of that, it's good for you.

Ordered pizza for lunch... too lazy... today I'm planning to make soup though.

I'm about to go upstairs and make a veggie-stuffed omelette for lunch.

pizza

ramen

Amy, you mentioned looking for a way to lower the fat in your diet.  One tip
is to read the ramen packages.  Most ramen noodles are deep-fried in high-fat
oil before being packaged.  But some brands aren't.  Reading the labels should
help locate the non-fried ones.

<abchan examines a package of ramen>
Total Fat 8g
Saturated Fat 4.0g
Total Carborhydrate 26g
Dietary Fiber 1g
Sugars less than 1g
Protein 5g
<abchan wonders why they don't have mandatory courses that teach you how to
understand these things>

What was this item about again?  Oh yeah, lunch.
Pizza with green peppers, mushrooms and onions.

Caesar salad with grilled chicken thrown in.

Amy -- the label should also have a section with some percentages.  It should
say things like "Saturated Fat: 18%".  This indicates that you're looking at
a food item that contains 18% of the saturated fat that a normal person should
get in a normal day.  Depending on what part of your daily intake of food,
that could be a lot of fat or a little.  For example, a cookie or a serving
of salad dressing that contained 18% of your daily allowance of fat is awfully
high in fat, while an entire lunch or dinner that contains 18% of your daily
fat allowance is relatively low.

i really didn't have a "lunch" today...late breakfast was corned beef hash,
fried egg, and english muffin.  i could just hear my artiers clogging!!!  :)

Lunch today was a sesame bagel with cream cheese, lettuce, tomato, sprouts,
green pepper, and cucumber. And a glass of iced tea.  Dinner is yet to be
determined!

Green salad with a little cheese and grilled chicken. No croutons, no
dressing, no bacon bits, and <eeep!> no fork. I hate it when that happens.

Yesterday's lunch was a vegetarian sandwich; it was pretty good!

I had spaghettios yesterday.  No joke!  I love them.

I just had a ham sandwich. Sounds boring, but not really. Honey ham, 
pepper jack cheese, and honey mustard grilled. Yum...

It's been a long time since I had a grilled sandwich.  Grilled cheese by
itself is good but  then, so is grilled cheese with various stuff added
[like Debbi's sandwich]. Like any  combination [or individually] of
tomato, onion, deli meat, etc.  


I had a late breakfast/early lunch of some left-over chicken, a slice of
cheese, and 2  biscuits and a touch of mayo.

What is the definition of lunch?  We eat at random intervals when someone
feels like cooking.  Our second meal yesterday was around 9 pm.  Too hot to
cook until then.  I had shredded wheat a few hours ago as a treat.

Wow.  We have totally different ideas of what a treat is.

I would say that lunch is the mid-day meal that is taken anywhere 
between 11 and 3.  

That means I almost never eat lunch.  Shredded wheat is an expensive precooked
version of whole wheat flour.  Usually Jim makes bread instead.  I suppose
preground flour is also a treat.  He used to grind in a manual grinder.

Why you two are not on Pioneer House is beyond me.  ;-)

Lunch today was a piece of homemade walnut shortbread and an apple.

For me, I'd probably define lunch as having something [to eat] not
shortly after getting up  in the morning and not soon before going to
bed.  I usually don't have 3 meals a day, so  even if I don't eat
anything til hours after I get up, I'd probably consider that lunch [and
 not breakfast, which I associate with eating something early in the
day].
