Catching Up... Clover

I keep thinking that I'm updating this daily and then I actually look and I haven't written anything since Tuesday. What fail on my part!

Wednesday - What did I have for lunch on Wednesday? It's not like it was that long ago, why can't I remember? Was it sandwiches again? It must have been. Yes. Ham sandwiches that Oldest didn't like because I accidentally bought peppered ham instead of whatever N normally buys. I had a ham sandwich, an apple and a yoghurt of some kind.

Thursday - I was in a bit of a rush Thursday, so ended up making this chickpea salad and a couple of Nice biscuits. Salad was a mixture of cooked chickpeas, tinned sweetcorn, tuna, taco powder, breadcrumbs, a little grated cheese, and lemon juice. I love it. Usually have it with pitta bread but I seriously had nothing in the house.

Friday - N had an unexpected day off and we ended up having a lovely picnic as a family in our living room. We made ham and cheese rolls and shared some crisps and drank squash. I love picnics. Especially indoor picnics.

Saturday - It was a friend's birthday, and he invited us out for bowling followed by Nando's. I do love Nando's. I had what I always have - a chicken breast fillet burger, mango and lime sauce, no mayonnaise, with cheese and a pineapple. Plus chips and a Coke. It was very good. Next time I might order the corn on the cob just to be a little healthier, but whatever. It was a special occasion.

Saturday, Beef Kare Kare

Had a full plate of Beef Kare Kare (Filipino version of the beef stew flavored and thickened in a peanut - based sauce, with a variety of vegetables). My sister cooked it for me and all I have to do is provide a complement (a real good one of course) and I was on my way through licking the very last sauce on the plate.

2/6- Movie Date

As we have decided to see Avatar (although I want to see Book of Eli- Denzel Washington is just delicious), I suspect my lunch will be popcorn and diet coke.

Can James Cameron make a movie that is under two hours ever? Never mind, I digress . . .

I never posted yesterday's lunch, and since it was NOT turkey on whole wheat, I figured it was worth mentioning. So, yesterday I had ...

leftover pasta with broccoli and ham in a cream sauce. It was homemade from dinner two nights prior. Yum. Don't hate me.

Today, I had more leftovers. Trying to clear out room in the fridge ... ;)

taco wrap consisting of seasoned beef, shredded cheddar and lots of lettuce topped with mango salsa all rolled up in a flour tortilla.

Of course the salsa was so yummy, I had to spoon some on my plate and eat it with a handful of tortilla chips. Then I ate all the salsa and still had chips on my plate, so I needed another spoonful of salsa. Then I ran out of the chips part, so I ... oh you know the drill. ;P

Then I had a scoop of that homemade pomegranate sherbet. What? It's Friday!

Thursday, Abbe, using stuff up

We're going away for two weeks and I was ravenous.

Found leftover rice, plus a little tofu that would go bad before we came back, and some scallions - cubed the tofu in a frying pan for ~5 minutes, added scallions and some Indonesian spice mix we have right now, then added the rice that had already been reheated in the microwave. Didn't take much longer than making a sandwich and now those things aren't in the fridge!

Thursday, Gina

Today was lunch at home. Our neighbors sent us home with a pineapple, papaya, and coconut after the big Lost Premiere Bash they had on Tuesday. I adore fresh pineapple. So, of course, I made my meal around it today.

Grilled Pineapple and Cheese Sandwich
Crackers with Ranch Dip
Pudding Cup

A very yummy lunch if I say so myself.
