What have you had for lunch lately?

[Kylie1969]

They sound lovely whatever they are CWS

 

[Addie]

I amde thre package of Ramen noodles. I ate half of it. Couldn't finish it. But I did try. At least I ate something today.

 

[Kylie1969]

Well done on eating a bit today Ads...better than nothing

 

[vitauta]

but not by much...really.

I did another version of black bean-wild rice-smoked turkey soup. This time I did the 4-S thing--sweet, spicy, sour, salty. I took the turkey stock from Monday, added wild rice, chick peas, black beans, a bit of liquid smoke, carrots, onions, garlic, celery, bok choy, mushrooms, chopped turkey, and now for the sour--some chopped gherkins, black olives, green olives, red wine vinegar, splash of hot sauce, a bit of maple syrup, and some fish sauce. Must say, it was different--somewhat addictive. Reminded me of Hot-Sour soup without the bean sprouts.

Yummy! Oh, I love bean sprouts, bet it would be good with your soup!

I did add some capers, more hot sauce, and dill pickle juice after the first bowl. I could see making this with tofu and bean sprouts...definitely not my grandma's turkey soup! Oh--I forgot, I also put in about 1-1/2 tsp anchovy paste when the soup was simmering.

That sounds like a wonderfully comforting soup on a cold day like today. Yumm!

We went to subway for lunch & had a 6" sweet tereyaki chicken sub. with 1/2 small bag of harvest cheddar sun chips.

The inclusion of the olives, gherkins, and capers was inspired by the thread about the German (Russian) soup with sour cream. I would never have thought of adding those to soup! They worked. That's what I like about DC, it makes me stretch my palate.

(The amount of liquid smoke added is just a couple of drops--not a lot.)

 

[Kylie1969]

Today we were in the city seeing a movie and went to a bistro for lunch

I had a black angus sirloin steak sandwich with salad and chips and Steve had their signature beef burger, gee it was huge, that came with chips too...it was all very tasty

 

[Kylie1969]

I had toast for lunch today and a homemade pasty that mum made

 

[Snip 13]

Busy eating a sandwich with fresh farm butter and biltong. Yum!!!!

 

[simonbaker]

2 slices of light, wheat bread with 1/2 slice of swiss cheese & 1 oz. of 90% fat free ham & honey mustard. A side romaine salad with roma tomatoes & dorothy lynch dressing, a 4 oz. cup of spanish rice & 5 kettle chips with a 20 oz. water.

 

[Dawgluver]

Great job, SB!

I had 1/2 cup of spiral pasta and clam marinara sauce and a glass of skim milk. I avoided all the goodies in the lounge, but finally secumbed to a one inch diamond of baklava. Dang, it was good!

It is so hard to resist all those Christmas goodies It's taking all my willpower to hold out until Christmas eve to finally eat one of those russian teacakes.

 

[Kylie1969]

I had some pepperoni and salad

 

[PrincessFiona60]

A cup of lentil soup with 1.5 ounces of ham. Water, water, water. Then I messed up the whole day by eating a serving of Dark Chocolate Orange and a hot chocolate. Had to do it, somebody bought the chocolate orange...

Dark chocolate is good for you & so are oranges. So, it only stands to reason to put that chocolate orange out of it's misery.

 

[Kylie1969]

Yes, we have a square of dark chocolate after dinner, it is better for your health than milk chocolate, but all in moderation though
