Bowl of no-brand blueberry shredded wheat squares and rice milk.  I've decided that cereal is probably the best use of rice milk as it tastes grim in coffee and tea.

Today was a hodge-podge of stuff from the fridge - leftover homemade saag aloo, a small container of hummous, a whole wheat pitta bread, carrot sticks, and for dessert, strawberries with leftover alfonso mango cream.

I didn't get home til late last night so my lunch today was thrown together this morning! I made a salad consisting of raw carrots, courgettes, cucumber, mushrooms, chickpeas, walnuts, and raisins. Then I made my favourite, go-to dressing: lemon juice, garlic puree, tahini, and water. yum!

Went out for a team lunch at a pub to meet a co-worker on maternity leave- had a grilled chicken and bacon salad which was quite nice

I was on a conference call last night at 10 pm, so I decided to make lunch for today to stay awake.  So I chopped and then roasted butternut squash, red peppers, red onions, and chilies and prawns.  I then chopped pak choi, lettuce, radishes and cucumbers.  I then made a sweet chili dressing with sweet chili sauce and some rice wine vinegar.  I just tossed everything together and its soooooo good!  I'm enjoying my lunch!

PB that sounds totally delicious! It's got all my favourite things in it!

I'm totally jonesing for Leon today, so I'm going to hike down to Liverpool Street and meet up with my husband for lunch today. And bring back one of their to-DIE-for brownies, too.

Oh awesome, I've been meaning to try that place but haven't made it there yet (I only buy lunch out maybe once or twice a week). One of my coworkers said it was really good, too. Maybe next week... mmm.

Today it's leftover pizza! My husband just does not appreciate cold pizza like I do.

Yeah they brought loads back - sorry!

I try and do two days out and three days in, but I'm really good some weeks and REALLY bad other weeks! I really love that little area with three shipping containers in it serving turkish, Mesopotamian or Japanese food. The little japanese place does lovely donburi dishes for when the weather is lovely. 

Keu is really nice, so fresh and flavourful. Their blood orange juice is also delicious.

A wrap stuffed with lettuce, tomato, and a couple spoonfuls of left-over bean chilli.  About to have a pear as well.  Pear turned out to be nasty tasting.  Took one bite, and now I can't get the taste out of my mouth.  Was very off.  [smiley=sick.gif]

I just had some deliciously stinky Roquefort on a baguette with some salad leaves and honey mustard. Haven't had powerful cheese in a while and it was soooo good!
