i.e. no cheating and saying "three martinis" unless you've ever really gotten away with that.
When I was a kid, there were all these movies and TV shows depicting business men who had minibars in their offices. Now that I'm grown up I feel deprived....
what are you having/did you have for lunch?
Homemade soup. Beef, cauliflower, asparagus, and oyster mushrooms. I keep adding mushrooms to soup and then remembering at lunch time that I don't care for mushrooms in soup. Gotta work on that. Otherwise it's good. I also had some yogurt.
What is your ideal workday lunch?A local restaurant makes a terrific green salad with warm, grilled chicken and full-fat blue cheese dressing (with many chunks of blue cheese). It's huge and keeps me full all afternoon, which is more that I can say about most salads, without inducing post-lunch coma.
Or sushi. But the nearest really good sushi place is too far for convenience, and the above restaurant is less than 10 minutes away.
I had a container of Yoplait key lime pie yogurt for lunch. I don't really have an ideal workday lunch, although if there was a Popeye's closer to me, I might.
I'll be having curried snapper and Thai rice noodles for lunch, with some Dannon La Creme and an organic apple of some sort for afters.
What I really like to have for work lunch is sushi -- not lunch special sushi, eaten on your own, but eight-people-out-for-lunch sushi, so you can mix it up and have lots of different stuff.

That's horrible.
Here is a fun one: what are you having/did you have for lunch? What is your ideal workday lunch? (i.e. no cheating and saying "three martinis" unless you've ever really gotten away with that.)
Today I'm having a tuna melt. Best lunch in recent memory was when our favorite vendor took the entire ops team out to a terrific bistro and we ate a 3-course meal that took 3 hours. (There were no martinis, but there were three glasses of wine. Not much else got done that day.)
I'll be having winter squash soup--pureed butternut squash, potatoes, and apple, with milk and apple cider and various fallish apple-related spices. It's very good. Plus, I was more patient about cooking pre-puree this time, so unlike the last squash soup I made, this one does not have crunchy bits in it.
Katie, that sounds yummy. Could you post the recipe??

Goodness, brenda. That's horrible.
This is uplifting! An excellent typo.
Nutty, thank you for noticing! The best laughter I had all day.
I'm gonna go with Kevin Spacey because I like to think I'm complicated.
I'm so totally imagining you with his face from now on.
I have no answer to any of my questions, by the way, other than the first movie one - an animated tv version of "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe".
what are you having/did you have for lunch?
Um, now that I think about it, I didn't have lunch today. I didn't skip it, I just never got a chance to it. Oops.
What is your ideal workday lunch?
I'm going to cheat. My ideal lunch is when a friend comes and steals me away from my computer so that I have to go and have a proper lunch, not a sandwich or something near my desk. It's more about the company than the food. But if I have to go with food, there's a traditional Tunisian food that my mom rarely makes (because it's a lot of work and mess), sort of fried buns with lots of good stuff inside, called frikasse. This description doesn't do them justice, I'm afraid.
Now I want to go have sushi with ita (there are kosher ones, really) for the lunch I didn't have.

What would I want for lunch? Something I didn't have to prepare. I've gotten so lazy about food lately. Not finding much interesting. I think this is due to the heat, the cold, the cold drugs and the stupid scratch on the underside of my tongue that makes eating painful. Bah.
