Lunch should have its own thread

[Hellsbells]

Left over beef casserole that had pretty much no beef left in it, just vegetables, with some chopped up boiled potatoes. Then my new favourite desert - a few spoons of plain yoghurt with some blueberries, some chopped banana and a few walnuts.
Should keep me going for an hour or so anyway.
Then I have 1 crumpet left in the work freezer to get me to the end of the day

 

[May Kasahara]

Unexpected Pizza Express lunch with my family. I had a superfood salad and some dough balls.

 

[Micro]

Managed to find 3 chocolate bourbon biscuits so just ate those. Feel a bit sick now

After 3 measly bourbons? Amateur.

 

[neonwilderness]

Egg and ham hock sandwich, Quavers, vegi sushi and orange juice.

 

[May Kasahara]

My folks are coming over, so we're having a roast: turkey, spuds, parsnips, yorkshires, instant gravy steamed carrots/sprouts/kale. Apparently there will be apple pie and custard for dessert, but I have made a crunchy topped lemon cake just in case.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Will make a pan of wholegrain rice, spelt and pearl barley. Some carrots that need using, sweetcorn, tomatoes, chilli and olive oil. Will have a rummage in the cupboard to see if there is anything else I can chuck in.

Will probably end up as tea as I've got to wash up first.

 

[Rebelda]

Tabouleh, salad, hummus, garlic olives. Black coffee, chocolate and oaty biscuits.

 

[neonwilderness]

Ham, rocket and cucumber sandwich (home made) with mustard. Tea and ginger cake.

 

[iona]

Tomatoey aubergine and lentil bake with goat cheese on top, salad

 

[neonwilderness]

Leftovers from last night. Penne with Ragu, chorizo, bacon, rocket and parmesan.

Did you heat it up, neonwilderness? I always make too much pasta but have never figured out how to make it taste nice reheated. If I microwave it it always ends up bloated like canteen pasta.

I bought some yellow stickered shitake mushrooms, fried them with garlic, thyme, salt and pepper and had them in a white pitta. Bloody lush. Tea now.

Yeah, I just microwaved it. Not ideal, but we have limited facilities here. Which is a bit ironic given that I design kitchens for a living

An uninspiring beetroot wrap from M&S, with a glass of extra full fat milk. Going to have a jam doughnut in a bit.

I find it's a bit better in one of those plastic containers with a vent on to keep the steam in.

The other way would probably be to reboil it for a couple of minutes, but that's too much of a faff on here.

That's a cool job

It probably sounds more interesting than it actually is tbf

 

[Rebelda]

I had a blt at about 11, then a big slice of apple cake and a cup of earl grey. Now I'm starving so I've had an apple, some disgusting oven baked "crisps" and a diet coke.

Chicken, couscous and salad

Not seen them in years. Space raiders are alright, but these are better - you could tip the whole packet in your gob in one go. Sadly they're probably not on sale anymore.
