I had a cup of coffee and a cigarette. For lunch, a bag of cheddar & sour cream chips, an apple danish, and a can of orange-pineapple juice. I do my serious eating after work.
Frosted Mini-Wheats. Everytime I think I'll never go back, I find that they do it just right. Kind of like the first live XXX records album from Jane's Addiction.
Today's breakfast was toast and oj. Most days it's cereal (Cheerios - yummm!). Lunch will be two burritos (shut up, they're small). Dinner is long range planning.
breakfast: peanut butter & jelly on toast. Coffee.
lunch: mysterious "ham" & "turkey" sandwich, rice cake, apple. Water.
dinner: maybe tuna melts & baked potatos? Although this is what happened last night when I turned the oven on. egregious self link
breakfast: water.
lunch: ultimate cheeseburger/chicken sandwhich/bacon and cheddar potato wedges, all from jack in the box.
i'm about to eat some ramen, too.
breakfasteses: Cinnamon Life (the mood just struck me the other day, I don't know why, so I bought some) dry from the bowl with a glass of milk on the side (that's the way I eat cereal -- you have a problem with that?)
I don't give a shit about your dinners or lunches.
For lunch I'm having leftover cilantro garlic chicken enchiladas, made from scratch, with Mexican rice and homeade black bean soup on the side. And more peppermint tea.
For dinner, I'm going out, but I know I'll be drinking wine, probably a nice pinot noir.
Also, I'm getting my hair trimmed later today, and must do laundry because I've run out of clean black socks.
safetyfork-- I'm no expert, but when you say you had "a yogurt," I think that's shorthand for "a prepackaged unit of yoghurt." Had you said "some yoghurt," I would not know whether you had a prepackaged unit or a few dollops from a larger container. So (with my assumption that your use of language (in this case) is identical to mine) you've managed to convey more information while using fewer words. I suggest that you run for President. You have my vote.
the number of words is identical in the phrases "a yoghurt" and "some yoghurt". However, fewer letters were used.
I had a toasted bagel with pesto, cream cheese and tomato, and a coffee, at a local cafe (with wireless access, natch) while I did my laundry next door. I'm a multitasker.
Breakfast: V8 juice and All-Bran Extra Fiber with dried cherries & skim milk.
Wake-me-up: Several cups of coffee.
Morning snack: Low-carb yogut.
Lunch: Pizza (whole-grain crust, low-carb sauce, low-fat cheese & lots of veggies), and sugar-free jello for dessert.
Afternoon snack: String cheese.
Dinner: Don't know yet; maybe London Broil with roasted tomatoes? Probably fat-free, sugar-free chocolate pudding for dessert.
Update: I forgot my lunch at home (the chicken enchiladas, rice, and beans) so my lunch has turned into a dissapointing smorgasboard of carrots, hummus, oatmeal, apple, and a package of Cheez-its. And I just found a hair on my apple. Oy.
Canned pears. They're tasty and *ripe* fresh fruit is hard to come by in these parts.
More impressive was my dinner which included a Greek salad made with ingredients directly imported from Greece yesterday. The olive oil was so fresh it tasted oddly of bananas.
Breakfast? Who has time for breakfast? I used to have two cups of coffee and three cigarettes for breakfast every day, but then I gave up smoking, so now I sleep for 10 minutes extra instead.
