Join me for lunch? Here's what I ate, and what I saw at lunch today. Tell me a little something about your lunch?
Difficult to see, the future is.

That balancing guy is insane!

I haven't had lunch yet. When I do, it'll be chips and candy from the vending machine plus a can of pineapple-orange drink to wash it down. And some cigarettes. I usual don't eat a real meal till I get home.

7-grain roll with smoked turkey, a couple slices of genoa salami, swiss cheese, and cucumber slices, washed down with some apple juice.

Half a pita bread with hummus in it, a peach and a breaded buffalo chicken finger. Washed down with water and a little milk, cuz the chicken was spicy.

I'm more interested in the "bondage tables"...

How the heck are we supposed to top that?

Anyway. Chicken Cheese-steak. At a local eatery with a group of 8 other state planner-types. We were treating our summer University intern to his farewell lunch. Our table was just long enough for two simultaneous discussions.

It was interesting to track conversational "memes" as they flowed around the table; our end mentioned an actor's remarks on a Katrina fund-raiser the other night. That led us to a discussion of that actor's new TV show. Someone at the other end heard our discussion of the show and pitched in with what they'd heard said actor say on the fund-raiser the other night.

What goes around....

Nachos from the employee cafeteria.

Everyone else seems to have done much better. I knew I should have picked up a pannini on my way in.

I'm gonna walk home and make PB&J for lunch.

Baguette with loads of ham and cheese and salad. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the mayo until after the first bite.

Farris to wash it down.

Just had a bowl of Cheerios for breaky. Don't know what lunch will bring.

A Chicago-style hot dog (topped with hot giardiniera), a root beer and three peppermint Altoids.

Lunchtime is now. Cold corn on the cob lightly smeared with garlic mayonnaise and a reheated zucchini/courgette fritter (leftovers). A pile of windfall plums. A slice of homemade bread. Sipping iced tea with lemon to cool down after stacking firewood all morning.

Leftover shepherd's pie.

I walked to the public market and had a tuna salad sandwich on wheat bread. The tuna salad had some carrot in it, oddly.

A chicken sandwich with lettuce and cheddar cheese (my faaavorite) and a small taco salad. We talked about GREs and standardized testing and how all the bad things in my life are due to procrastination. Same as yesterday, same as tomorrow.

Hopefully a sweatpea bacon (also includes avacado and green leaf) salad will be available today.

I had an Amy's Teriyaki bowl, which I prepared by placing in the microwave. I have been on the phone with Apple since then, for about two hours now, mostly on hold. It's awesome.

I wound up having a bag of Sour Cream & Cheddar Ruffles, 2 packs of Sunkist Fruit Gems and a pint carton of Orange Peach Mango juice. I may stop at mandlers after work for sausage and beer. (Yeah, I'm being coming obsessed with that place, until I'm sick of it.

I didn't have time to make a lunch today as I was racing to finish preparing for class, (Oedipus Rex today). But I went upstairs around noon to check my mailbox and to make copies in the English Dept, and there were plates and plates of homemade cookies. I had a Raisin Oatmeal and a two Chocolate Chips.

And I needed those cookies because the copier was out of toner, and very few of my students have done the reading--so the whole "he sowed the loins his father sowed" is coming as quite a surprise to many of them.

:-( Crusty tunafish from the make-your-own-sandwich bar in the cafeteria.

I had a Luna Burger — Homemade veggie burger, tomato, red onion, sprouts and homemade Russian dressing on a whole grain bun with chips and salsa on the side.
Unfortunately, no balancing men, and i gave up on one of my crushes today too.

I work here.

First barbecue, then cottage cheese. Now, chocolate covered espresso beans in an attempt to wake myself up enough to go drink beer.

Cliff bar and a diet coke, at my desk. My life sucks some days.

Ramen "Chicken" and Ramen "Beef" seem to agree. Add the requisite water and a cup of frozen veggies and it is a veritable farmscape in your mouth.
