I had swiss cheese, carrot stix & celery

Fman99 Mar 28 2022 12:12 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Typical lunch for me these days - at least in the first half of the week, while my greens are still green. A big salad, first - mixed lettuces, onions, carrots, my own pickled peppers, olives, pepperoncini, crutons & a light French dressing Sandwich on whole wheat - pepper jack cheese, honey turked, mayo, mustard, more pickled peppers Girl scout cookies (today's box is some freezer Thin Mints) Ice water After Wednesday most weeks I switch the salad to some baked chips or reduced fat kettle chips with the sandwich.

Yesterday I had a lo carb tortilla with some Black Forest deli ham and shredded lettuce, a little hoagie oil, and a slice of provolone cheese on the side. Today about two pounds of leftover spaghetti

I have a feeling that is going to be my lunch this week because we're having turkey meatballs and spaghetti tonight.

Yum! We use Prego sauce and I don't think it can be beat.

Asparagus is evil. Your opinion may vary, of course.

Went out for lunch with wifey. I had a chicken burrito with refried beans and guacamole (before Gov Abbott's border slowdown causes the price of avocados to rise) and she had a salad with grilled chicken. Later

I had a leftover Easter ham sandwich and Middleswarth potato chips

batmagadanleadoff Apr 20 2022 03:56 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Quarter Pounder with cheese meal. Large. I still havent had a full sit down eat in meal at a restaurant in more than two years since the first covid shutdowns. But I've had pizza a few times and McDonalds like two or three times this year. I'm rationalizing that it's a quick meal that takes no more than 20 minutes but at the same time, I know that I'm rationalizing and the logic is faulty given my covid concerns.

Bratwurst with sauerkraut and horseradish mustard on a just-baked steak roll. No bier, plain seltzer. Prost anyways!!

Moo shu pork lunch special. Little salty, but still quite good.

whippoorwill Aug 11 2022 02:49 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Today I had a sandwich made of two Gortons fish sticks on white bread and some leftover butter and parsley noodles. Commence to drool. Bonus question: guess many times I had to type Gortons for the phone to keep it right

MFS62 Aug 11 2022 04:21 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

MMM, but I prefer mayo on my fish sticks. Four. I had the salad, soup and turkey sandwich lunch special at Cheesecake Factory. Later

Fman99 Aug 11 2022 07:25 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Lean turkey and ham, pepper jack cheese, lite mayo and my own homemade concoction of pickled peppers & onions on whole wheat bread, and a side of Wegmans' kettle style jalapeno chips. Which are magical. Then for dessert some honey Teddy Grahams. Washed down with a Wegmans' raspberry seltzer.

Lefty Specialist Aug 12 2022 12:07 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Handmade Turkey & cheddar wrap with Thousand Island dressing and a local orchard-picked nectarine. Utz Sourdough Nugget pretzels for dessert.

kcmets Aug 26 2022 12:22 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Local deli had a fried flounder on steak roll with lettuce, tomato, razor- thin marinated red onion and chipotle tartar sauce special today. Five stars. And it's not even Lent.

MFS62 Aug 26 2022 12:29 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Leftover fried clam po-boy and onion rings. First time we tested out the air fryer setting on our toaster oven and it worked pretty well. Toasted the roll first and added the remoulade sauce after everything came out of the toaster. Later

Ham Sammie, cheezits. On the deck, after work watching my grandkids swim for the last time this summer 😥

kcmets Sep 12 2022 12:00 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Small can of Bumble Bee solid white in water. Mayo, celery and Old Bay Seasoning on two Thomas' English Muffins. Forgot the lettuce. Don't you people eat? lolol...

MFS62 Sep 12 2022 12:28 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Did the English Muffin thing, too. (Not in honor of the new king. We just forgot to buy rolls) With some slices of left over steak and Worchester Sauce. With half an ear of left over corn. Later

My son has his first ever part time job. He washes dishes at a local pizzeria/Italian restaurant. Very often he will bring home several slices of pizza at the end of his shift. I had one of the leftover slices for lunch today, along with a salad (butter lettuce, red onion, yellow bell peppers, carrots, green olives, sun dried tomatoes, pepperoncini, imitation bacon bits, crutons and Wegmans' Ginger Miso dressing) and a handful of honey Teddy Grahams for dessert. Washed down with a Polar raspberry lime seltzer.

Was it in a bottle or can?

Their seltzer in a can tastes like the can metal to me, but I like their bottled seltzers.

Canned seltzer. I do not taste the can personally.

Big pepperoncini fan, sun-dried tomatoes not so much.

=kcmets post_id=106995 time=1663012031 user_id=53] Big pepperoncini fan, sun-dried tomatoes not so much.

I do not enjoy fresh, raw tomatoes. Never have. It's one of the few veggies I don't enjoy (along with beets & asparagus).



But it's a texture/temperature thing. I don't mind chunks of tomato in a sauce if it's warmed. And so sun-dried tomatoes are a good way to get more of those vitamins in my diet. I also like to keep veggies on hand for salads that don't involve prepping, dicing, cutting etc. That's why I always have green olives & pepperoncini on hand

kcmets Sep 12 2022 06:39 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

I think tomatoes are technically a fruit, not a vegetable. KB won't eat tomatoes; but she likes salsa, pasta dishes with various tomato sauces, clams/mussels/shrimp in spicy tomato based sauce... etc. She's weird, and so are you. lolol

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2022 06:59 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

I'm in that camp too. Tomato flavor is fine but the texture not so much. As the great American philosopher George Carlin said; the Tomato looks like it's still in the larva stage.

DocTee Sep 13 2022 08:48 AM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

I love tomatoes and eat them like apples-- sprinkle a little salt on them and you are good to go. I pop cherry tomatoes like candy, by the handful.

MFS62 Sep 13 2022 03:47 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

I like tomatoes, and used to do the tomatoes and salt thingie. But due to their high Potassium content, I don't eat them as often as I would like. Later

kcmets Oct 22 2022 02:19 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Turkey and melted swiss on a club roll with Asian slaw (omg, so good) and some ginger dressing.

whippoorwill Oct 22 2022 05:29 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Started to make a Rueben. Rye bread moldy. Put corned beef in freezer. Heated up old can of Chef boyardee ravioli. Runny sauce..did not desire. Threw out. Ham sandwich possible. Last date of sale Oct 12. Decided to give to stray cat (or neighbors dog, who I suspect eats stray cats food) Finally had pork chop that had been heated up four times and was quite dry, corn that we had last weekend and a reheated manischewitz potato pancake

Ceetar Oct 22 2022 05:59 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

today? I reheated two pieces of pizza and yelled at some 8 year olds.

The wife and I went to the local farmers market then had a late breakfast (or early lunch) at Cracker Barrel. I had 2 eggs over medium, with bacon, a side of breakfast casserole, 1 biscuit with butter and coffee. Nice relaxing morning together.

There isn't a Cracker Barrel within 30 miles of our house or we would probably eat there more often. Later

kcmets Oct 23 2022 09:25 AM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

We like Cracker Barrel, haven't been since before The Plague. I'm making breakfast right now but dang I could go for a CB two eggs over easy with catfish, spiced apple slices, potato casserole, English muffin and grits. And a large tomato juice.

whippoorwill Oct 23 2022 10:09 AM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

We love Cracker Barrel too! I like looking at the old pictures KC we ordered pizza and wings for supper.

Fman99 Oct 23 2022 07:25 PM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

I had a whole wheat bagel with pepper jack cheese, honey smoked turkey breast, mayo and pickled peppers, and a side of Wegmans' kettle style Maui onion chips, and washed it down with an N/A IPA.

kcmets Nov 29 2022 10:31 AM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Had a half dozen shrimp leftover from Sunday so made a little shrimp salad. Toasted plain bagel, arugula and a slap of roasted pepper. Not bad for an otherwise crappy Tuesday morning...

kcmets Dec 30 2022 10:40 AM Re: ++==-->>Lunch Check 2022<<--==++

Interesting wrap -- bacon, avocado, drunk red onion (their term, not mine), pepper jack and a fried egg. Garlic/lime/cilantro mayo on the side. I hope Bobby Valentine sees this post!
