What's For Lunch?

May 1st, 2008

I’m fried at work today and I spent the morning at the dentist, so here’s a random post off the top of my head. I always love hearing what Jane Espenson is having for lunch, so let’s find out what’s on the menu for the rest of us today!

I don’t even have a great answer: I went to the grocery store earlier in the week and picked up some supplies, including a prepackaged chicken Caesar salad. I’ve never tried it before, but it had lemon wedges included, and so I could not resist. I’ll probably have it with a side of red seedless grapes, also from the grocery store venture.

My most frequent lunch is a veggie sandwich from the deli across the street. Whole wheat bread, avocado, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and, recently, balsamic vinegar instead of mayo and mustard. I usually get it with a banana or some cut-up fruit and a lemony sparkling water. And the whole thing comes out to like six bucks, because the deli across the street is incredibly cheap by San Francisco standards. (Just in case all of this makes you afraid to admit you had something totally decadent, on Monday my co-worker and I went to the bar across the street for burgers and fries and about twelve diet soda refills each. It was excellent.)

So, what are you having for lunch today? And, if you have one, what’s your lunchtime staple?

    My lunchtime staple is a 6 in. Subway sandwhich. Just cause it tastes good and it’s healthy, not cause I want to loose weight like Jared or something. I also really love baked cheddar cheese and sour cream chips.

    Jackie, I had a Subway sandwich today too (veggie and cheese, although I often get turkey or tuna with half the tuna). With some strawberries on the side.

    Weekdays are ususally tied to the desk, so I’ve taken to having soup each day – usually either cream of asperagus, pea and ham or chicken (or similar), but with the weather getting warmer, think I’m going to have to start venturing outside to the local metro (train) station for their chicken salad. It’s yum, especially when drizzled with creamy vinagrette!

    Thankfully over here in Brussels, the blue sky is coming out again.

    I typically make my lunch because it’s cheaper. If I don’t have leftovers, I typically have a sandwich, a side salad of mixed greens and assorted veggies with balsamic vinegar, yogurt, and fruit, with Diet Coke and/or water/
