bah, I can't concentrate... What's for lunch?! →[More:]
I've got a big ol' roast beef sammich on fresh-baked sourdough, with fresh arugula, horseradish and colby-jack cheese, a big pile of raw veg (broccoli, carrots, celery) an apple and some yoghurt. Not fancy gourmet, just yummy.

I've been nerding along all morning importing macros to a spreadsheet and doing cleanup. My concentration has failed me (likely due to the massive Shot in the Dark I consumed @ 07.30) so I'm going to go sit in the park in this gorgeous sunny weather and read a chapter or two of this.

I just had two frozen burritos with hot sauce and cheese and sour cream accompanied by beer. Some Reese's Whipps for dessert.

I also just got a message on my answering machine-from the Jehovah's Witness. Bastards are getting sneaky. When they knocked on the door, I could atleast answer wearing nothing but an Uncle Sam hat and stilleto heels and holding an open bottle of whiskey, but the phone denies me that option.

Jehova's Witnesses. As we all know there's more than one of them, otherwise we'd have one tired religious fanatic on our hands.

We got lunch delivered by Meals on Wheels today - it's part of a fundraiser they're doing & my boss contributed to. It was pretty good, actually! Chicken in some kind of gravy, mashed potatoes, carrots and TWO big yummy cookies. OTOH, I'm not sure that people getting meals on wheels ought to be having that much sodium or sugar on a daily basis. I mean, damn - it was serious Southern country cookin', which means good, but not necessarily good for you.

I had lunch with Wilder. I took her to the Law Society's Hall in Chancery Lane, and we had pumpkin & ginger soup, which was delicious. We ate in this room. It was very nice, and we even talked about law for ... ooh, probably four seconds.

I'm eating some 'tortellini verde,' from the ~~Wild Oats~~ Whole Foods deli. It's cheese tortellini with green beans and green onions and cucumber and pesto and pine nuts.

I had a sammich (veggie deli slices, swiss, Nayonaisse, dijon, homemade sweet relish) and some cottage cheese. I am still starving. I think I'm experiencing sympathy hunger. Just can't seem to get satieted lately.

Double-header of Mexican Bean and Unsafe'n'Sound over brown rice from Veggie Planet, and with tofu croutons. So comfort food!

I'm thinking coffee & croissanwich at Intelligentsia, if there are any left, and some looking Pale & Tragic with my Notebook of Deeply Intellectual Thoughts at a corner table. If no sammiches, a cookie.

lunch: pressure-cooked chicken breast with big honkin' pile of spinach, tomato, diced orange peppers and mushrooms, with pita bread on the side.

breakfast: fage yogurt with honey, stomach-scorching work coffee.

Cheap, nutritious and impeccably boring.

the words 'tofu' and 'comfort food,' do not belong in the same sentence.

The period between croutons and So ended one sentence and began the next :)
