While it's a blast to talk about atheism and science and current events here, it's also fun to just have a "this is what my day looks like" kinda place. I've posted this thread in other forums and everyone usually loves it.
So what did you have for lunch?
In a few minutes I'm going to a restaurant down the street and I'm ordering flounder and steamed veggies and spinach salad with friends from work. Yesterday I had a classic: the PBJ. With grape jelly, no less. It made me feel like a kid again.

Water, tortilla chips from the hippy food store, sandwich (consisting of home made honey wheat bread, fake lunch meat -wifey is a vegetarian, provolone cheese from hippy food store), a coka (because the parent in law came over for the Fourth of July and brought crap soda that I'd feel bad if I let it go to waste), and a small tupperware container of some choco-peanut butter- walnut cookies I made either Sunday or Monday.

Wednesday is always Mexican day for a group of us from work. I try something different from the menu each time.
Today's was Enchilada Ranchero - four different enchiladas (beef, chicken, bean, and cheese) with a cheese sauce, topped lightly with a bed of lettuce, peppers, sour cream, and tomato.
Outstanding!

Taco Bell.
But I made myself walk the mile to get there, considering gas prices and the LA pollution and the exercise and sunlight (vitamin D) I'd get.

Today was a turkey on tortilla with tofutti (soy cheese).
Plus some corn, an apple, and a bit of chocolate for dessert.
My Fridge - it's what's for lunch!,

As for me, wait, what did I have for lunch? Ha oh yeah, corn on the cob! I was planning on having a baked potato with it, but my clumsy self totally dropped it when I pulled it out of the microwave. It went EVERYWHERE. I laughed my ass off, it was great. It was hard to clean up though, it just smeared everywhere... but yeah, that was my lunch experience.

I had Pei-Wei (sp) some asian food chain restaurant here. Not bad but also not great. We have vendor lunch presentations on most Wednesdays...that's what he brought, it was free, and the rep wasn't boring. So, I can't complain too much.

@deadhead. They actually *make* the veggie burgers or just heat up something that they got shipped in? If they hand make them.. kick ass!!
@curiosityandthecat. Not all veggie burgers are made of soy protein.. Boca Burgers are made from mushrooms and when cooked on a skillet with some sautéed garlic, onion, and thin strips of bell peppers made a pretty tasty sammich..

I had a ham and roast beef sandwich on whole grain bread with a smidgeon of miracle whip, accompanied by baked Lay's chips (yuck).
HOWEVER... for dinner, we had KFC. We all had a craving so we gave into it, as we do sometimes. Okay, ALL the time.

Normally, I just eat something small for lunch, but today I splurged. I did a frozen "Home Run Inn" personal pizza. Nuked it (microwaved it, for the squares 
).
It was yummy.

GeniSoy has a line of soy products that are really good to snack on. Yum!

Today I had shish kebabs for lunch. I made them at home with chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, onion and green peppers. Added a healthy dallop of olive oil, garlic salt, pepper, crushed red peppers. Baked at 350 degrees (or 1.8(C) + 32 = 350 for those who use celcius) for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken was 170 degrees (or 1.8(C) + 32 = 170). I have a food thermometer which is great, you don't have to guess when meat is done. Then I had some bread and honey for desert (which to me is delicious). That was a few hours ago - now I just finished an entire frickin' package of blueberries. I can't believe I did that. They were three packages for five dollars at my local supermarket, which is a great deal on blueberries. I guess if I didn't eat them they would go to waste. Anyway.
