What have you had for lunch lately?

[Andy M.]

I love how everyone seems to assume we don't know the spoon trick...

As part of 'everyone' I'd like to say I offered that solution to one individual. I was not making any global assumptions.

You have much more leverage pushing/twisting up and down, rather than from side to side.
Try it, you'll see. Sometimes the jar is just too big and/or too small. either case makes it hard to get a proper grip.

And my Mom always finished that saying off with "...but it beats the alternative"  GG!

The elastic requires hand strength that I don't have anymore, and it sounds like you don't, either. Like my mom says, it ain't easy getting old

The elastic trick doesn't require nearly as much hand strength as one would guess. But, yeah, I'm not as strong as I used to be. It could also be that over a longish lifespan, even if something works on 99% of the extra hard cases, eventually you meet the 1%.

The only time I've ever bought pre-cooked Bacon was when we would do road trips, which we haven't done since 2019!!
But our local supermarket had it on sale and I figured, why not.

It's what's for lunch for me.
BLM on toast, no T!

My mom said that all the time as well.

Today for lunch I had a baked BBQ chicken leg quarter with creamed fresh pearl onions and mushrooms. It was lovely. Not from a restaurant, I cooked it myself.

Leftovers for Friday Fish Fry out with the Neighborhood Gal Pals.
No one at our table wanted their Coleslaw, I ate them all ?
I re-heated the Fries in the AF and ate the pan-seared Shrimp cold, YUM!!
I just recently discovered this Avocado Ranch, and it's quite good!

 

[Andy M.]

A meatloaf sandwich and Kalamata olives.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Mushroom beef barley soup, a mandarin orange and a small handful of pistachios.

I saw this sauce while watching a YouTub'er and it looked interesting.
It took me quite a while, but I finally found it.
Drizzled over Red Pork Tamale, good, but I must say that it leans more towards tasting like Ranch Dressing than Avocado.

Shopped a bunch of comfort frozen foods the other day. Lunch today was a couple of Fried Onion Rings and some Calamari Rings. Baked up in the Toaster Oven and served with Seafood Sauce. Works for me!

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

DH wasn't very hungry, so I made myself an Air Fryer basket full of frozen French Fries the other day and dipped them in Kewpie Mayonnaise, pure comfort, and I'm too proud to say so.

 

[Andy M.]

Turkey and stuffing sandwich.

 

[b94new]

my favorite comfort food---chicken livers, bacon, and fresh baby spinach!

 

[blissful]

whole wheat toast spread with avocado.
This is my bread.

 

[dragnlaw]

Poutine and Oven-fried Haddock. I'm stuffed. Will probably be my supper... but then you never know, supper is 4 - 5 hours away and things could change!

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

Busy day today, so it was something easy and quick for us two

Both DH & I said the same thing, these frozen meals were deceptively alot of food and we're both stuffed !!

Today I had leftover homemade curried pea soup, recipe courtesy of one of the Moosewood cookbooks.

Lunch for Moi: sliced Turkey Breast, mixed Microgreens, thinly sliced English Cucumber and oodles of MAYO!!! YUM!
