Food Digest

Late lunch — 2:45pm. Two slices bologna, one slice salami, two slices American cheese, toasted on wheat bread with a smear of Ranch dressing. Definitely was missing a key ingredient that could have made it, I don’t know, less boring. Maybe mustard? Could it be that simple? Very possibly.

Popped into Panera Bread in Skokie to make some phone calls and grab some free wifi. Oh, and to eat a roast beef sandwich and broccoli/cheddar soup. This lunch was almost late enough to call it an early dinner. Got plopped into a story mid-afternoon, so today felt more hectic than it actually was.

Back to the work grind, back to the lunch grind. Two slices of salami, one slice of bologna, one slice of American cheese on wheat bread with mayo, and a side of carrots and red grapes. A perfectly fine way to celebrate a Monday afternoon. Besides, you know, working for a living…

I’ve been hearing some whispers ‘round these parts that my lunches are looking awfully orange these days. I can’t help it. Orange is a good color. Just ask this guy. Or this lady. Or this thing. Regardless, my lunch today consisted of non-orange bologna and salami, on non-orange wheat bread with semi-orange American cheese and a smear of defiantly not-orange mayo. Also: red grapes, orangey Baked Lays of the cheddar-and-sour-cream persuasion and carrot-colored carrots.

Lunch: Bologna and salami on wheat bread, with mayo and a garlic-Italian dressing. Red grapes. Carrots. Cheetos. I might have used one too many slices of deli meat on that sandwich, but that’s nitpicking, isn’t it? Went grocery shopping yesterday and the Oscar Meyer sandwich meats were $1 per package. What a deal! It’s officially “Eat Like a Prisoner Week.”

Irazu sandwich, Part 2: Leftovers for Lunch. I love it when the sequel rivals the original.
