Lunch Ideas

[Blueberry]

is to purchase tins of broiled eel from an Asian Grocery (I don't think these have made it to mainstream grocery stores yet) and dump over rice with a little soy. Add veggies on the side, or fruit if you wish.

Yummy! (It's the same stuff that is in Eel rolls for those sushi eaters out there). The tins are somewhere between .99 and 1.19.

Added Bonus: No one in my ex-office would touch the stuff. Hee Hee.

Homemade (on the weekend) soup heated and kept in a thermos works well too in winter. So does instant tuna salad on bread type thing of choice (buy pouch tuna and single serving mayo - take zip loc baggies of spices).

I'm so glad to find other weetabix lovers! They are my favorite breakfast food; I love the technique that you acquire trying to keep part dry and part soggy.

As for lunches, I've been using baked, mashed winter squash - especially a sweeter variety like buttercup or delicata - as a sandwich spread. Bake or steam the squash the night before, season w/ s&p and/or herbs, and add Nayonnaise, mustard, salad greens, seasoned tofu, or whatever. Kind of fun!

I've been making a huge pot of soup on Sundays for lunches during the week. Onion, garlic, diced tomatoes, shredded cabbage (buy the bags of 'cole slaw') and assorted dried beans. Add enough chicken stock to make it soup and cook for a few hours. I freeze it in individual containers. Grab one in the morning, and by lunch it's still cold, but not frozed, I just microwave.
