Lunch should have its own thread

[BandWagon]

I made a batch of lamb slow-cooked with juniper berries and cranberries in a red wine sauce, which I'm going to try tomorrow.

 

[zora]

First Christmas sandwich of the season - first of many!

 

[iona]

Leftover chicken, black bean, rice, avocado and red cabbage wrap from the weekend. Coffee.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Bombay biryani and Punjabi choley.

 

[iona]

Leftover spicy chicken breast from tea the other night. I was going to have it in a wrap with salad but there was a reduced pack of firecracker chicken with rice and veg when I went into Waitrose so had it with that instead.

I had a christmas sandwich a festive falafel from Boots on dark wholemeal bread & red cabbage slaw. Looked good but I didn't enjoy the taste very much and left half of one!

Treating the kids to KFC

 

[gentlegreen]

Baked spuds, whole tub of hummus, bag of salad.
Way too many calories, but I have two competing sorts of lurgy.

 

[polly]

My small son and I are in a total lunch rut: I have wholemeal toast with homemade chipotle sauce, avocado, pumpkin seeds and sometimes coriander, and he has a PB sandwich with grapes and blueberries. I don't think either of us can imagine anything more delicious tbh.

 

[gentlegreen]

600g baked King Edwards -584 kcals
pot of low fat hummus - 480kcals
370g bag of crunchy salad - 85 kcals - "6 servings" but only "one of my 5 a day" ?
1150kcals
Weekends are definitely not fast days ...

My current maintenance calories are about 3273 - less 500 for not cycling = 2773.
Tea had better be on the light side ...

 

[bi0boy]

Mushroom soup with extra mushrooms and celery, followed by rice pudding with a bit too much nutmeg.

 

[iona]

gentlegreen only one of your five a day because more than one portion of the same thing doesn't count - "five a day" has to be five different things.

 

[Almost There]

It was just a salad today (being good to myself )

 

[moose]

gentlegreen only one of your five a day because more than one portion of the same thing doesn't count - "five a day" has to be five different things.

It's to stop you counting 3 glasses of wine as 3 of your five a day, gentlegreen
Hope you're feeling better

 

[gentlegreen]

Ah well in that case I definitely am having over 20 a day

Those antibiotics did me no favours.
I may have to take active steps to repopulate my insides ... beyond the live soy yoghurt ...
Off to be ultra-sounded on Friday.

Meanwhile I broke another tooth on a date stone.

 

[Teenage Cthulhu]

Banana sandwich.

 

[monsterbunny]

Pie 'n' mash and a large mug of tea. From Robins in Romford.

 

[gentlegreen]

Chilli bean slice, a handful of spinach and a pear.

 

[sojourner]

Mushroom risotto ready meal from the Co op. It's really fucking nice

 

[Mrs Miggins]

What I am definitely not having for lunch is the tin of sardines I have just found at the back of the cupboard with a BBE of Dec 2006

"Chicken!" I hear you all cry.
Thing is I hate tinned sardines so I've no idea how they got there in the first place.

(actually that is a lie - I distinctly remember buying them thinking "I should eat tinned fish" and then promptly ignoring them for 9 years)

 

[gentlegreen]

Baked spud, taco beans, tahini, ground flax.

All hail the goddess Axomamma

 

[May Kasahara]

Gamberi all'aglio, linguine alla vongole and creme brulé, washed down with a delicious red wine.

 

[Ms T]

Heinz tomato soup and cheese on toast.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Well I was having some instant noodles but they have gone bad. Who knew that noodles could even go bad?! The smell is absolutely foul

 

[sojourner]

Dried instant noodles?! Blimey.

Well I had an unusual lunch, but it needed using up. Cheesy mashed spuds (shop bought), baby corn, and sugar snap peas. Very tasty actually, with a slathering of pepper and a good dollop of reggae reggae sauce

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Yep - dried instant noodles. Who knows how long they have been in the cupboard and there's no sell by date on them. They just started to stink as they cooked.

 

[monsterbunny]

Pani puri and freshly squeezed salted lime juice.

 

[sojourner]

I had leftover pasta with puttanesca sauce, but it had soaked in too much

 

[gentlegreen]

500g of baked spuds, low fat hummus and a bag of salad.
Aldi's salad bags are too small

 

[Cheesypoof]

cheese and tomato omelette, baked ham, a little potato salad, blackforest gateau.
