What's For Lunch

[emmie]

i wanted to skip my usual sandwich and have egg and chips, with a couple of slices of bread and butter, why i couldn't tell you as i don't eat eggs that often nor chips in a long time. but fancied it for once, well the eggs were out of date, so that was a no no, now the chips didn't taste as nice as i thought they would. not even with a little ketchup -

do you sometimes have something for lunch maybe then think now why did i bother.
whats on your lunch menu, something tasty i hope.

Thanks, zyla... but I don't like marmite much. It's ok with cheese and apple...

I rarely eat eggs. I only eat scrambled ones disgusted with ketchup. But Emmie, I hardly take any notice if the use by date. Eggs last far longer and you will notice if an egg has gone off as soon as you crack it. Years ago people kept eggs in a larder.i am going to try a gluten free vegetable quiche for lunch courtesy of genius who make g free products.

The last time I had a disappointing lunch, it was tinned hot smoked mackerel. I usually buy the chilled, but had gotten some tins for lockdown. This was very dry...almost tough...and salty. Won't get that again.

what oil do you use ummmm, as i have no where to throw it when its out of use.

[Apc2604]

Disguised not disgusted!

[ummmm]

I have no clue either about portion sizes. I've sent my OH to work with his lunch and lunch for his mate :-) French onion soup with Gruyere toast, veg lasagna with chicken thighs.

Zyla, I do avocado with olive oil, lemon juice and a little salt and pepper. So, probably not as healthy as it could be...but my health standards are fairly low :-)

[ummmm]

Emmie - I use veg oil. When it needs changing I decant it into milk cartons. OH can get rid of it at work, otherwise I'd put it in the bin.

i am fast getting bored with much of what i have for lunch, if i go to the park, i often get a sandwich from the little sainsburys, they do a lovely smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich for 2.25 which i think is about a quid cheaper than the local waitrose.

It's those bloomin adverts Emmie. They cover what I am typing

[emmie]

i know Apc, they are a pest.

i haven't a lot of space in the freezer to make any more soup, but i confess that i took to the Heinz tomato cup a soup, just right for a cold day.

I make a wheatfree bread...just oats and loads of seeds. It's gorgeous for avocado toast.

[ummmm]

I like cup a soups. Creamy veg is my favourite.

[emmie]

now i could eat avocado with chicken all day long.

[pastafreak]

Avocado with anything.

My usual lunch (or breakfast) is oat biscuits and Marmite with some cheddar cheese and tomato or two. I never tire of it
