i had a big bowl of southwestern chilie brought into work for the twelve days of christmas.

I had a slice of leftover frozen pizza and almost an entire large bag of bbq baked lays. and one buckeye. oh, and this old guy came in and just paid with a check and he wrote "dec. 22, 2003 AD" on the check.

we had our xmas lunch at work today. i dont wanna talk about it.

i had lunch with my realtor ( my cousin). we went to applebees and got salads. i think i was sick of my salad before i was actually full.

tamales today!

i went to the salad restaurant and made a big salad. it was okay, it had great ranch so i wished i had made it bigger.

i read that you should eat a lb of vegetables for every 50 lbs of your wieght every day. im hoping that a lb is less than it seems like.

i went to taco bell today and got two double decker tacos. inside they were playing felis navidad in muzac format. that crked me up for some reason.

my fridge is stocked with leftovers, but I had leftover frozen pizza for lunch b/c it was the most portable.

I have tamales and pasoli (sp?) and chili etc. left.

i went to lunch with one of my best friends from forever. he just moved back to america from england. altho tonite he goes back to graduate with his masters blah blah.

we went to doc cheys cos i was jonesing for pad thai. he got a curry. he's sooo british now.

my mom randomly took me to lunch today, which, i assure you, never ever ever happens. we wound up out in this part of the city where we lived when i was in high school like a thousand years ago, because it was sort of near where my poor car was being held. so we got my car and then my mom took me to eat, and she said "pick whatever your heart desires." too bad i had eaten an enormous breakfast at home to celebrate my first morning of freedom from school. but i made do with a cup of lobster bisque and a small salad with chicken, avocado, green apples, walnuts, mandarin slices and blue cheese. oh, and lettuce. duh. it was faboo. now i'm stuffed!

i went with chest stare girl to laughing seed. i didnt get heppy hopefully. i got these roll ups with fake sloppy joe in them and a salad. they have this dressing there that makes you wanna cry its so good. also some jerkoff bought delicious baked goods that im putting a real hurt on.

today i had a hamburger at one of those places that is a fake soda fountain shop. it's supposed to look like it was from the fifties but really was built yesterday. and it is done in such a shotty way that it'll look 18 years old tomorrow.

ok, so one quarter of the school year with the new cafe-terror-ium and i'm sick of it. now, let's say i was the kind of girl who had her shit together. had that been the case i'd have brought with me a nutritious and satisfying lunch with me to campus today. but, no, not my style. so i went for the potential nightmare of campus chinese food. only i wised up and picked dishes that i thought were simple and had minimal ingredients: beef with broccoli and bbq pork. and, i'll admit, it was delish. they hacked and cleavered the pork into manageable chunks right before my eyes, and i'll tell ya, it was the best damn fast food pork experience of my life. now, ultimately, we'll see how this lunch fares if and when it repeats itself on me later. and you all know what i mean. back to studying for finals...

I had rice with some yummy curry sauce and veggies today. When I made it last night, I put chicken potstickers in it, but I kept going back to the frig and eating the potstickers out, so I didn't get to enjoy any today. I also had some sun chips and way too much horrible coffee.

i don't usually get all whipped up into a frenzy about finals week, but for some reason this time around has been particularly challenging. so instead of actual meal-eating, i'm using snacking as both therapy and sustenance. my "lunch" today consisted of wavy lays with ranch flavoring (my cat's all time favorite) and some caramel dipped shortbread cookies. i suspect my "dinner" will include the nouns ice, cream, pizza and coffee. a girl's gotta do...well, you know what i mean.

i went with the girl who stares at my chest and this other girl to boston pizza. i had spaghetti and mushrooms and salad with bleu cheese and garlic bread. it was delish but now im explodingly full.

I ate all freebies for lunch.

okay boring lunch of ham sandwich and the same extras as the past couple of days, but i wanted to say that:

Food Lion carries Cheerwine Ice Cream. It is a food lion branded product, i suspect because they are both salisbury natives. I didnt buy it yesterday because I was feeling thrifty, but sally you really must try some when you are in town.

For lunch: Roast Beef w/creamy horseradish sauce, roasted potatoes, zucchini, rolls, salad and spinach quiche. For dessert: cookies, lemon poppyseed cake, fudge and a pecan bar.

We had our holiday lunch buffet at work and I stuffed my face! Now I am so full that I could really use a nap.

I only took a half-hour lunch as work is super busy for the next two weeks. i slammed down a philly in the short time i was sitting down.

Pb & j and pretzels and a clementine.

i had chick-fil-a cause i'm already out of leftovers.

i made this gigantic plate of leftovers for lunch. my mom had sent me home from her place with giant ziploc bags of turkey, stuffing and brussel sprouts with bacon. no yams, dammit, i could kick myself. so i loaded the plate up and added to the gluttony these awesome green beans with crispy mushrooms that i made from a recipe in my martha stewart mag. i worship her. i made sugar cookies from one of her recipes over the weekend. a hansen's rootbeer completed the meal. too late for "growing pains" today, so i got sappy and watched "second chance" on tlc. the guy totally took back his ex-girl. sucker.

I amso gonna throw away the remaining turkey scraps after today. but I had a turkey sandwich on an everything bagel with pretzels and a clementine. I eat SOOO early now, like 10:00, cause I dont really have anything else to do at work. I also do the crosswrod puzzle at work.

because of sally i was dying for some pad thai. the girl who looks at my chest and me went to this great restaurant that recently had a heppy a scare. i braved it anyway.

today i had a mushroom swiss and onion burger from a new place here in town. i was really good and esonably priced to boot.

here is another wonderful blog all about food: food is my life

my mom made me homemade chicken soup. it's a special kind that she makes and it's wonderful. don't tell her i put tobasco in it though.

Pad Thai Pad Thai Pad Thai!!!!!!!!

they had tgiving lunch at the printing company. i went over for lasagna and salad. yum. there was also cheesecake.

i had fajitas again today (naked). i've been cooking a lot of dinners but havn't been eating the leftovers for lunch. only for dinner. which is ok. i won't have any thanksgiving leftovers till late next week.

i went to best buy at lunch today. i wanted to get this little harddrive to solve my FTPing problems. its so tiny. it is smaller than a pack of gum. ( the fiver). then since i was all the way down there i couldnt resist and got chick fil a. before i went a couple of weeks ago i hadnt eaten chick fil a in years. suddenly im crazy for the place. altho my sandwich today had a few problems and i think im cured for awhile.

i had another rb & brie sandwich, my fourth. noah ate one and milton ate one, completing the six I made last week in an attempt to mass cook. I also had leftover snack mix we created to take bowling yesterday of chocolate pieces, raisins, mixed nuts and pretzels.

i just made myself a kick ass salad. red leaf lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, mushrooms, grated cheddar cheese and teriyaki chicken tenders grilled on my george foreman grill. i made an asian inspired dressing with sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and some ginger and garlic. delish. i served it with a heaping side of "growing pains" reruns.

i have had a really wierd lunch. this woman brought in an apple/ caramel dip tray and a crudite tray. so ive eaten my wieght in apples and carrots. then i went to my parents to FTP these pictures ( it was unsuccessful b/c of fucking AOL) and had some pate and crackers and a little bit of this greek wrap and a little bit of a bourbon pecan bar.

today i went to my favorite sandwhich shop and got the El Buey. spicy with jalopenos. very very tasty.

i went to the pressed sandwhich place that i usually goto but it had changed. now its just a regular deli sandwhich place called "the sandwhich board". i was too busy ogling over the salad bar to realize the menu had changed. so i quickly just ordered a reuban sandwhick on marble rye. it was ok but i ate it in about four bites and it cost me six dollars. this is the last time i go there.

i was the only one at the museum and i brought soup but the microwave was broken so I only ate the pretzels i brought and leftover popcorn from this weekends casablanca showing. it sucked. I dont know the protocal yet about leaving if you are the only one there. i havent seen a "back in 5 minutes!" sign yet.

Last year my dad and step mom got me all these packets of soup that you can make at home. They're really into soup, I don't know why. They have the dried ingredients and spices with a recipe about how to make them. Well, I was really excited about the red beans and rice package and I made it last night. I went and got some smoked sausage and green pepper, etc. to put in there, just like the recipe says. I made a gignatic soup pot filled with this stuff. And guess what - it kind of sucks. So now I have to eat it for a week for lunch and dinner because I'm broke. Word to the wise, say no to the soup packets or at least don't follow their frickin' recipe.

i had a bit of a nervous stomach from watching the stock market all afternoon so i just wen and got the hummus and feta begal from einsteins. i got the potato salad side and a coke too.

i was supposed to have lunch with stalker eliz today. i didnt know if she'd show cos she bailed yesterday. so i was talking to FN in front of his work and SE found me there. I think she thinks i was throwing her over for FN but i wasnt ... it was just a coincidence that he we were talking and he ended up joining us.

we went to an old place with new owners. our waiter was my ex-extremely-loud-upstairs-neighbour. i hope he didnt spit in my food.

i had this great grilled chicken salad with creamy dill dressing. SE had bbq ( as usual) and the FN had a reuben. later when i tried to cash in on SE's pickle she told me that she only got a sandwich for the pickle. i only got the salad for the dill dressing.

i brought some dried pineapple from the co-op today. i can never seem to think about lunch early in the morning before work, so i never end up packing anything. i am so strapped for cash that i can never go out for lunch. sometimes the warehouse guys make stuff in the kitchen and give me their scraps... but not regulary. and besides, they are always making some sort of mystery meat concoction from meat that some relative killed in the woods behind their house or something. sometimes they don't even know what meat they are eating. grody.

I had a PB&J, and an apple. Now all I need is a glass of milk!

That salad story was gross, especially the grinning into the salad bowl part. Reminds me of the skinny girl in wilmington who only bought cole slaw from the bbq place you used to work at.

across the table from me at the dining hall where i ate lunch this girl took a side salad and removed all of the lettuce and shredded carrots, leaving only cabbage. she then threw away the lettuce, carefully shredded the cabbage into tiny pieces, returned it to its container, and put the cabbage in to her backpack without eating a bite. she was grinning in to the salad bowl the whole time. she weighed approximately 94 pounds. I wonder if this is the new miracle diet.

I ate a piece of veggie pizza and a side salad, lettuce included.

i went up to my moms to score a ham sandwich. shes about to go out of town so it was no such luck. she had good bread tho. i ate a piece of that and had a lean cuisine. im turning into a lean cuisine.

i got chic-fil-a for lunch. i was so excited about coming back to my desk and arranging all sauces correctly. then this ex-salesperson comes by. and i could hear her right outside my office. and the panic that she'd come chat with me was kicking in. and just when i thought i was clear her she comes. finally during her discourse i just started to eat. but those bites when she wasnt there were about 400 times better than the bites when she was. ( she is 6 mos. pregnant and 46 years old. it will be her 6th child. most of the conversation revolved around that.)

today i packed a lunch of a turkey sandwich on a sub roll, some potato salad I made earlier in the week, and honey mustard and onion pretzel nibblers. (or is it knibblers?) I make pretty good pototo salad, but usually it has bacon in it, and this time it doesnt so each bite is slightly more disappointing than it could be. the sandwich and the potato salad are both highlighted by jalapeno dill pickles.

I had a BLT on sourdough and some cole-slaw. It was good.

mackin' on mac and cheese. well, technically, ralphs (kroeger?) brand spirals and cheese. with ketchup, squeezed on in a happy face pattern.

today i had a chick-fil-a chicken sandwhich and a bag of those fries. the main reason i go there is cause they have tabassco that you can mix in with your catsup. it's really good on the waffle cut french fried potatos. dgkjnrgjna!

my big idea was to go somewhere cool and mellow where i could sip on coffee for a while and do some reading for school. but i didn't have coffee in the morning like i need to, so i confused my caffeine-withdrawal headache for hunger and settled for the soup and salad bar at marie callendar's. the potato cheese soup, which is normally a sinful delight, was like eating runny mashed potatoes infused with some gelatin element. the salad was rank, and the cornbread dry. and i wasn't really hungry. and the booth was super uncomfortable. and then a single dad came in to help his kids with their homework in the booth next to me and they were loud. and i still have a headache.

i went to cafe on the square with adrienne today. we eat there all the time. we went to discuss this event for thursday. im starting to get terrified about how much we still need to do. anyway we were there 45 minutes before we got our food. both of us were really pissed we had to pay. the waitress said it was cos a 14 top came in right before us. but we know thats not true cos her husband and another man happened to come in 20 minutes after us and got their food way before us.

I went to Szechuan Kitchen and had egg flower soup, crab puffs, pot stickers, green beans, sweet & sour chicken and shrimp in tangy sauce. It was awesome.

more fajitas.

i went up the mountain for lunch. i hadn't seen my mom in awhile between denver and her being in charleston. her friend was over and we had ham sandwiches apples and little candy bars. it was hard to go back to work cos there was so much chatting going on.

two super-greasy-soak-through-the-paper-plate slices of pizza. one sausage the other pepperoni. and a coke. enjoy.

i went to taco bell today and got my usual two double decker tacos. i tried the green sauce that SE was talking about. they didn't keep it at the condiment bar but behind the counter. when you ask for it they have to ring it up at the counter but don't charge you for it. they people in the back wrm it up for you and put it in a little container. i still think that the fire sauce is better.

I had to grab lunch from the lunch cart today, because I haven't had time to cook up something nutritious at home. They had fried rice, corn and teriaki chicken, or so they said, it was basically corn, rice and chicken with a cup o0f soy sauce poured over it. I had counteract the salt with some m&ms.

i had lunch with the fn today. i got a spicy chicken sandwich on croissant. it was complete with chipotle mayonaisse, two kinds of cheese, and bacon on a croissant. ( why is everyone so chipotle crazy all of a sudden?)

So my week hasnt been really busy, but not so ready access on the computer...

Yesterday I had tacos filled with a black bean/corn dip. I'm eating my way through the cupboard. Rebekah's coming over for lunch today.

That lunch with with Ginni seems so extravagant now.

yeah chevy, looks like when were not around nobody feels like posting. today i had i stayed in the office cause i had so much work to do. i had one of those chicken wraps they serve in the conveniance store downstairs. it sucks cause i have all kinds of yummy leftovers in my fridge at home.

so it seems im the only one who still eats lunch around here. today i had a meeting. we had these salads from heavenly ham. i guess they were chef salads without the egg. i used to think i hated chef salad. but i guess i dont.

My car was 6000 miles over the due mileage for an oil change. Taco bell was across the street, so I had taco bell, and i tried one of the burritos in the new "fresco" way, which basically just means now cheese, add tomatoes and cilantro. It was fine. This taco bell does give you jalapeno peppers if you ask for them, which is a nice extra. they also have green sauce on the condiment bar (do all TBs do that?) I'm disappointed that noone thought it necessary to comment on my grandfather's use of "wassup."

so i was real popular at lunch today. donna wanted to get lunch, she leaves tommorow, and this dude and my mom wanted me to eat with her and this lady.

i went with donna and the dude. i got a club sandwich that i didnt like very much. too often the meat on sandwiches has too many gross parts. i kind of picked at it and ate most of the potato salad.

I had a roast beef sandwich. I also wanted to include one line from my incurably sweet grandfather's email:

"Well, you probably know all that I have bored you with here because I know you keep in close touch with your Mom & Dad, but direct from here that is "wassup."

Take good care--Love, Grandpa"

i had a philly cheasesteak sandwhich. i think the word "cheasesteak" is pretty gross, but the sandwhich was sure good.

I had leftover pizza from wednesday.. It gives me horrible bad breath.

my mom is going to a seminar with these ladies from her church. it looks heinous. its all flashy and tacky and in an amphitheatre. its like a modern revival i guess. but its only for women. anyway i had to drop her off to meet them and so i ate at her house. had a roast beef sandwich. it was really good, but she only had grape tomatoes so it took a long time to cut them all.

i don't remember what the hell i had for lunch, but i sure know i ate a whole medium pizza for dinner. you guys have been talking about pizza for days now, and i've been all "no fat-no cheese-no carbs-no FUN" and also PMSing and overwrought with drama--so i caved and ate pizza. and ate and ate and ate pizza. and it was goooooood.

so miss elizabeth called and said she had 2 seconds for lunch and could i come with... we went to max's after me not able to think of anyplace and her stressing me about it bad.

i had spanokopita and greek salad, she had this lamb gyro looking thing and greek salad. i told her that they sold the salad dressing in the ingles's and she could probably buy it. she didnt seem impressed.

the waiter was a dullard.

we were in a tight corner with a group of large loud ladies.

it ruled.

three soft tacos were on the menu today

today i took the shuttle down to the other side of 16th street so i could have some noodles & co. noodles is another colorado based chain like chipolte and quizznos. i got the mushroon stroganoff.

With all ginni's pizza talk I have been really craving pizza all the time. I went to Sylvia's pizza on hillsborough Street. It was really crowded, which is unusual, and booths have been added. I had to share a table with other people who were eating alone. My slices were one sliced tomato and one pineapple. I'm waiting for the hives to start appearing, but I dont see them yet.

I had a ham sandwich, chips, cherry pie and ice cream. It was good!

Although it was completely messy, I had a delicious balsamic mushroom provolone burger with crosstie fries. My fingers smell like burger now. I also had two doughnuts for breakfast.

t.o.t.a.l.l.y. b.o.r.i.n.g.: leftover lemon-garlic roasted chicken (yeah, i roasted the darn little chicken myself), steamed broccoli and some grilled yellow squash. it was so boring the cat wasn't interested in cleaning the plate after, and i was so unsatisfied i braved the crowds at trader joe's and bought a big ol hunk of ghiradelli dark chocolate. i ate the whole thing throughout the course of the afternoon while i watched the abc family channel. even gorgeous supermodels like me have moments of weakness.

today i had a quiznos brand classic italian submarine sandwitch. it was eh.

Grilled chicken sandwich and a free order of FF. I keep winning free food in the Monopoly game and am forced to continue eating there to claim my free food. I know I know its a forced slow death trap that i am jumping in to feet first.

i had belgian waffles with walnuts. me and adrienne had to put up posters all over town and it was boiling hot.

i made my protein burgers again today, but this time i went the extra mile and tried to come up with my own sort of secret sauce to put on them. but i can't fool anyone, even myself: i just stirred some fat free mayo with some relish and ketchup and told myself "shhh, it's a secret." the trouble was that the ground meat looked a little brownish when i took it out of the fridge, and i tried to smell test it, but not knowing what fresh ground meat should really smell like, i cooked it up anyhow. just the thought of having eaten bad ground meat has kind of put a knot in my stomach. either that or the combo of bad meat and fake secret sauce has conspired in my intestines to kill me.

i was starving and wanted something with a caesar salad and crusty rolls. since no one would go to lunch with me i had to eat alone so i settled for a chicken cordon bleu meal from arbys. it was a far cry from what i wanted. but...delish.

i had 2 cheeseburgers. I am determined to win a mega prize in the monopoly game. i deserve it, dammit. today in the mainly hispanic african-american mcdonalds i frequent, the jayhawks were being played on the radio. its one thing to hear these things on a commercial or shopping mall, but its really diconcerting at the major fast food at the local HBCU.

i had a philly cheassteak sandwhich and vinegar and salt potato chips. their wasn't a fair in my town.

not that i can follow up the previous, ten times more interesting story but: my mom lured me home with zuchinni bread just to force me to eat MORE CHICKEN SALAD!! if i never see chicken salad again it will be too soon. well... until next week or something.

ED. NOTE: PLEASE READ THE BOTTOM POST FIRST!!

so the fair is like a walking case of heartburn. At this special fair day is really eerie cause everyone walking around is wearing business clothes with their ID badge around their neck. I felt bad that it worked out that ginni couldnt go with her coworkers she just had to hang out with me. At one point when we wear chowing down using a pickup truck bed as our table this person came up to us wondering if we were still hiring employees for our booth. Ginni and i were both flabbergasted and slightly horrified/thrilled to be mistaken for fair employeed. Its like we smelled like cabbage or something.

So Ginni had a ham biscuit from one of the church booths for the first meal while I had chili cheese fries. My fries were so disappointing they were school cafeterial style which just wasnt cutting it. Ginni's biscuit was pretty good. I think i would have put some hot sauce or mustard on it though.

For the second course we split these Giant onion rings. they were about an inch thick withthe flaky breading not like the crumbly BK breading. They were a good choice. While we were in line there was this big argument between the employees over how to fix the peppers onions & sausage they were all yelling back and forth at each other while they were dripping sweat from the grills heat.
- I need sausage just peppers
- come get em its ready
- NEED SAUSAGE JUST PEPPERS
- ITS READY AND GETTING COLD -- I HAVE TO MAKE A HUNDRED SANDWICHES SO QUIT YELLING

and so on.

For dessert we had Fried Dough kind of elephant ear style not funnel cake style with chocolate and powdered sugar. It was good, but it was only lukewarm and after the burning onion rings it seemed kind of cold. and we were already stuffed so we could only finish 3/4 of it.

Now i'm sitting here in pain.

taco bell. dos double deckers por favor.

my mom just did a luncheon and made WAY too much chicken salad. so shes been insisting i eat the chicken salad for every meal.
its totally delish. but im sick of it.

Large wendy's chili and a baked potato. I ate the skin, which is always a toss up when you get a potato at wendys or golden corral or wherever you can imagine slimy hands mangling the potatoes.

i'm not sure i technically had "lunch". because of my class schedule i end up having snacks before and after a normal lunchtime, so in my 11:40-1:20 class i ate a carrot, and after my next class got out at 3:10 i had an apple and some cottage cheese with pineapple. oh, and a luna bar--chocolate peppermint stick flavor. to borrow a chevy-ism, those are delish!

chicken soup from Wild Oats and a ham sandwich. pretty good overall.

my friend scott is in town from england. we went to this fancy restaurant we hung out at in highschool. i was jonesing for the cobb salad. its so good you wanna cry about it. im dying to take ginni there one day.

after eating too much of my turkey sub I couldnt eat the chips I bought or the cookie i coveted. Oh well. I think im going to be too stuffed to eat dinner.

week two of the healthy life started today. for lunch i had a grilled salmon patty, with some steamed broccoli and leftover grilled tofu. i would cut off my arm to have a bacon cheeseburger, milk shake, onion rings and a slab of chocolate cake. but i don't want to go around with one arm, so i'll stick to the healthy life.

the office manager forgot to ask me if i wanted anything from mcdonalds when she went, which is just as well, you know. but i had gross-o healthy choice frozen dinner, some honey mustard chicken and vegetables. HC is a terrible brand of frozen food, and i bought two of them months ago when it was on sale and have been putting off eating it, because the first one I ate was supposed to be chicken but it tasted like fish. yuck. today's was like eating crap covered in a slimy film which is now all over my mouth. I'm gonna have to go next door and get a mcflurry to cover it up. can you tell i'm still hungover and cranky form this weekend?

i really wanted an iceburg lettuce salad with runny ranch dressing. kind of a school lunch salad. i went to this lunch counter and got one. the chicken on it was great. it hit the spot for awhile, but i got sick of it halfway thru. i also had a dr. pepper which i never get.

I had chicken enchiladas today. I'm home for Columbus Day, so I decided to be productive and cook something for the week.

i had another naked fajita today. the best kind of fajitas are the hot steaming naked kind.

i went with brian to get mexican. ... him and me always get mexican cos randy hates it. i was kind of a pain to the waitress on accident. it was delish, but the portions were too small. this explains how it was so cheap. i spent most of the meal complaining about randys selfishness.

Lean Cusine beef stroganoff. It was just alright. Tonight, I'm going to make my famous curry, so I have something to look forward too.

the two cups of coffe i had in the morning killed my appetite. today i had a seasame bagel with plain creamchease, locks, red onions and capers. its good but it makes your hands smell like fish.

i had a wieght watchers veggie pizza. it was alright. it wouldve been better in the oven than the microwave. my mom had made pumpkin bread tho and it was still warm and totally delish.
