Lunch, Wednesday, November 17th

Today's lunch is homemade butternut squash soup. The liquid base is a homemade chicken broth. Cinnamon and nutmeg make my office smell like pumpkin pie. I threw a few roasted/salted pistachios on top. Would be nice to have some sweet or sour cream.

Lunch, Monday November 15th

Today's lunch is a pasta dish. Whole wheat pasta with a truly homemade tomato sauce from fresh cooked/strained tomatoes, with my secret ingredients and spices. Then baked with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Some homemade bread too. Very heavy, but my sauce rocks!

Lunch, November 10th

Today's lunch is the rest of the cream of potato leak soup and a biscuit (again) but this time with some melted cheddar. I actually put the biscuits into the soup like giant flat dumplings, and it's working out well.

Lunch, Nobember 8th

Today's lunch is homemade cream of potato and leek soup that was made with homemade chicken broth. The only way to beat that is to add in a homemade biscuit with butter. Booyah!!

Lunch, November 5th

Today's lunch is chicken salad again, with part of a pita and some corn chips. Milk too, but that's still in the fridge, and I have an apple. I wish everyone in the world could eat every day, and eat well (this won't happen through industrial agriculture and genetic engineering!!).

Lunch, November 4, 2010

Well, excuse me! It's been a month since my last post, and that is because I ran out of batteries in my camera at work. Duh! I guess I was lazy in ordering more. But, I did, and now, I have lunch pictures again. Today's lunch is homemade chicken salad with mayonnaise, peas, pecans, salt, pepper, and paprika. I put is on slices of french baguette bread. Very tasty.

Lunch, October 6th

Today's lunch is sesame noodles made by the lovely people at Melt, Eclectic Deli in Northside but I bought it at Park & Vine, and a cool breve from Coffee Emporium. Yeah!!

Lunch, October 5th

Today's lunch is 9 grain bread with two fried eggs, and a stir fry of red pepper, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper, and I added a little red onion. Really tasty.

Lunch, October 4th

Today's pitiful lunch is sardines in mayonnaise with Triscuits and Louisiana Hot Sauce. The problem was that I wanted tuna today and forgot to bring a can. So I went to the bookstore and they had tuna lunch kits - boo! But then I saw the sardines and grabbed a can. Ugh, they aren't skinless or boneless, so I had to do some dissecting first. I know, I know, the bones are edible, but I'm simply not acculturated to that, and the last time I tried I had mild gagging responses. Anyway, I was able to get a complete spine from one of the fish, and thought it would be a treat for my readers. Gross.

Lunch, October 1st

Today's lunch is delish! Grilled Erin Gold Irish cheese on whole grain bread, with a cooked egg on top, salt & pepper, and splashes of hot sauce. Put this with two local plums and some milk and it equals FABULOUS!

Lunch, September 30th

Today's lunch is fun! A leftover grilled hamburger with melted cheddar on 9-grain bread, and some dijon mustard, Cape Cod brand sea salt and vinegar potato chips, a lovely peach, and some skim milk.

Lunch, September 29th

Today's lunch is baked delicata squash with salt, butter, honey, and cashews. Jar of skim milk. I clearly overbaked the squash last night so it just didn't taste that good today and I didn't finish it. I'm guilty of wasting food today. And I couldn't eat the entire chickpea quesadilla yesterday, so I'm doubly bad now.

Lunch, September 28th

Today's lunch is a chickpea quesadilla that has a chickpea mix with roasted peppers and onions,and maybe some other stuff, and then cheddar and mozzarella cheese baked in the tortilla. It's pretty good. Sour Cream and Salsa on the side.

Lunch, September 24th

Today's lunch is the Central Park sub from Wall Street. It is turkey, provolone, onion, green pepper, tomato, bean sprouts, honey mustard sauce, and cucumber on wheat bread. I added salt, pepper, and hot sauce. The pickle spear is not in the picture, nor is my smiling face.

Lunch, September 23rd

Today's lunch is leftover Mark Pi's: brown rice, breaded/fried chicken, and some veggies. Lemon is for the afternoon lemon water.

Lunch, September 21st

Today's lunch is homemade salsa, what I'm sure is GMO Frito Lay corn chips, and some cheese made from cows that are likely treated badly. Top that off with some of THE BEST milk from Snowville Creamery in Ohio, and it's called lunch.

The salsa is made from all local ingredients: red onion, roma tomatoes, red pepper, oregano, and jalapeno peppers (these are home grown), cilantro, purple tomatillos, dried marjoram, sea salt, ground pepper, 1 habanero, and 1 small chipotle.

Guest Lunch

No picture today, so I've informally invited a guest luncher. Check out this blog about the Naked Lunch in San Francisco.

Lunch, September 15

Today's lunch is leftover pizza I made at home last night. Whole grain crust that is like soggy cardboard, with homemade pizza sauce, chopped roma tomatoes, mushrooms, sopressata, and mozzarella.

Lunch, September 14th

Today's lunch is leftover grilled shrimp and veggies that was in a fajita from El Rancho Grande, and some blue organic corn chips, and then I'll finish the chocolate zucchini cake later. Still drinking my morning coffee too.

Missed lunches

I missed the last several lunches due to an alien abduction. I just couldn't get pictures of my food due to extensive "testing" and "manipulation" - although I don't recall a bit of it :-|

Lunch, September 8th

Today's lunch is made up of odds and ends. Generic Triscuits topped with smoked cheddar cheese, fake Italian meat by Field Roast, home-roasted red peppers, and a dab of yellow mustard. Makes me want a corndog.

Lunch, September 7th

Today's lunch is a two part series. First I am going to eat some left over sausage stuffing that was in the freezer, likely what I'll be eating tomorrow too. Second, and a little later, I am going to eat some real yogurt that doesn't have filler crap in it with some fresh sliced cherries that are at the bottom and the honey that's drizzled on top.

Lunch, Labor Day

Things have been nuts at work and home and I keep forgetting to take a picture of my lunch. Couldn't tell you what I've had since Thursday, but here is some random food from today - pork ribs and shitty Ore Ida onion rings that I was trying to get rid of (J bought them, go figure!). One bite of the rings and I wanted to puke. Didn't though. And didn't finish them either. Total garbage; I can't believe they call that food. J made the spicy sauce with mustard, horseradish, wasabi, and hot sauce. Pretty tasty.

Lunch, September 1st

Today's lunch is a marinated chicken breast topped with pico de gallo and melted cheese, with some what I'm sure are GMO corn chips from Snyder's of Hanover.

Lunch, August 31st

Today's lunch are two Tombstone Deep Dish mini pizzas. I know, total GARBAGE, but I'm trying to empty out the freezer because I have to pick up a quarter hog (pork) on the 7th and I need all the freezer space I can get. Now that I have a smaller freezer, I'm glad I went with the 1/4 instead of the 1/2!

Lunch, August 30th

Today's lunch is a repeat of yesterday, only I'm eating it at work. Tomato whatchamacallit (variety of tomatoes, pine nuts, basil, mozzarella, thyme, oregano, olive oil, S&P. And a pinch of yummyness. And ciabatta bread with butter and garlic, only not toasted as long.

Lunch, August 29th

Today's lunch is late cuz we had a late breakfast after this morning's bike ride. This is a repeat of an earlier dish, but this time it is truly dynamic and delicious: yellow, red, and orange grape tomatoes, and regular tomato sliced up, with pine nuts, cubes of mozzarella cheese, sliced roasted red pepper (that I roasted last night), fresh basil, dried thyme and oregano, multi-colored fresh ground pepper, sea salt, and ev olive oil. It knocks my first version right out of the ballpark. Then I made two slices of buttered ciabatta garlic toast. My mouth is happy :)

Lunch, August 28th

Today's lunch was fresh egg salad: organic farm eggs, organic farm red onion, plain mustard, and mayonnaise, sprinkled with paprika. And a bathtub peach. Nice!

Lunches, August 26th & 27th

Today's lunch is a two-for-one because I was busy helping an international student get setup with banking, an apartment, registration, etc. yesterday, and only had 15 minutes to eat. First in line is the remaining pizza pasta from the 26th. Glad I remembered to take a picture before I finished it!!! Second in line is today's lunch: whole grain bread from Shadeau with spicy seitan (fake meat), yellow bell pepper, yellow onion, tomato, roasted red pepper, and dijon mustard. And that is a glass of half & half. Fresh!

Lunch, August 25th

Today's lunch is leftover pork loin with fried red fingerling potatoes, garlic, and onions. Rebaked, it's simply a boring, brown, yet tasty, lunch.

Lunch, August 24th

Today's lunch is a vegan burrito with quinoa, grilled veggies, hummus, spinach and a 3-seed dressing on a whole wheat wrap, made by Lucky John Market and purchased at Park & Vine. I see pumpkin seeds and red peppers.

Lunch, August 23rd

Today's lunch is egg salad (egg, red onion, mayonnaise, and plain yellow mustard), an apple, and skim milk.

Lunch? Missed it

I forgot to photograph today's lunch, so here is dinner: pork loin with fried potatoes, onion, and garlic topped with sour cream and chives from the garden.

Lunch, August 20th

Today's lunch is bizarre, or rather a humdinger. I have fresh chopped cucumber, red onion, tomato (from my father's garden), red bell pepper (from my garden), jalapeno, and fresh mozzarella, with a dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, topped with fresh basil. I also have leftover brown rice with a green curry sauce and chicken, along with a warmed socca (garbanzo bean pancake).

Lunch, August 19th

Today's lunch is leftover baba ganoush from Green Dog with some toasted poppy seed bread (or what can be called "colon tsunami"). Yeah for fiber. Looks like shit, but is very spicy and tasty. Not sure what's in it, but I can see red onion, red pepper, and some seeds, plus some oil (probably olive). Tastes great! I think I'll have an apple for a snack later.

Lunch, August 15-18

I just can't keep up on pictures.

Lunch on the 15th was corn on the cob, salsa & chips, fried chicken, and baked beans. All loaded with sugar.

Lunch on the 16th was something that I can't recall.

Lunch on the 17th was hunan veggies with brown rice from Mark Pi's (see previous post).

Lunch on the 18th was the leftovers from the 17th. Still good!

Sometimes when you're hungry, you just eat and forget your responsibility to your blog followers. My bad.

Lunch, August 14th

Today's lunch is (was) white pizza from Pizza Works: garlic and oil, topped with mozzarella, banana pepper rings, and bacon, some sort of herb too like oregano. My personal favorite!

Lunch, August 13th

Today's lunch is leftover sausage stuffing (bread, celery, onion, garlic, salt/pepper) and turkey breast that has been breaded and deep fried. There was more, but I ate half of it before remembering to take a picture!

Lunch, August 12th

Today's lunch is from Mark Pi's - the Hunan Vegetables (onion, carrot, green pepper, broccoli), peanuts, over brown rice with the spicy Hunan sauce. Plus a fortune cookie.



Bonus picture - today's fortune:

Lunch, August 11th

Today's lunch is some organic plain roasted chicken breast mixed with sliced organic eggplant, squash, jalapeno, and red onion, topped with champagne vinaigrette dressing.

Lunch, August 10th

Lunch, August 3, 2010

This move has me all messed up. I had pizza for lunch yesterday (picture to be posted) from Uno's. Today is leftover pizza. Mediterranean (kalamata olives, tomato, spinach, pesto, feta cheese, mozzarella, on 5 grain crust. With an apple today and a cup of 2% Snowville Creamery milk. Pretty tasty.

OOPS! Missed some lunches

I moved over the weekend, and forgot to take pictures of my lunches. But imagine, if you will, these descriptions:

Friday, July 30th - a 6 inch BLT sub with all the veggies from Subway with a bag of Lays potato chips.

Saturday, July 31st - two cheese coney hot dogs from Gold Star Chili, with mustard, onion, and cheese on a cheap, really cheap, white bun. Coney crap-o-licious. Wait, did I mention that mass produced beef is washed in ammonia because the processing is so grotesque and the animals arrive sick? Is "ammonialicious" a word?

Sunday, August 1st - FINALLY, some good food! A breakfast burrito from Green Dog Cafe that had FRESH veggies including scramble eggs, potatoes, jalapeno's, tomatoes, black beans, onions, chevre (fancy cheese name), and something else, then grilled in a wheat wrap.

Ham & Cabbage Soup

Today's lunch is soup: ham, cabbage, carrots, sweet potatoes, kidney beans or something, onion, salt/pepper, and something spicy in a ham hock broth. My excellent partner made it so who knows the details. It tastes good. With a side of whole grain bread from Shadeau Bakery.

July 28, 2010 - Italian style

Today's lunch is leftovers from dinner last night. Basil fettuccine with homemade sauce (tomato sauce mixed with homemade pesto, homegrown oregano, onion, olive oil, salt/pepper), with a side of homegrown grape tomatoes and chunks of real mozzarella seasoned with homegrown oregano, dried rosemary, thyme, salt/pepper, and of course olive oil. Quite tasty!

Every Day Lunches

I like food. Good food. Whole food. Identifiable food. Food I make. Food I share. Food.

I like to take pictures of this food, the daily food I buy, make, and eat. I tend to take pictures and post them on Facebook, but I had the great idea to make a blog for the pictures; to post what I eat every day for lunch. Sometimes you'll catch me eating things that don't fit with my philosophy about food. I don't care if you call me a hypocrite - at least I try (but maybe this blog will make me even more conscious).

This blog is dedicated to food and lunches. Eat well!
