How about a whats for lunch topic?? lol. Today I am going to be naughty and have Burger King, I know it is bad for me, but somedays I cannot help it and give in to my cravings! I love the whoppers there and the fish sandwich. I have not been so hungry lately due to the heat- today it will be 83, tomorrow 91! What do you all eat for lunch? If you have time or eat lunch at all?

I usually hit one of the Mom and Pop diners where I can have my food cooked the way I want it. I love Whoppers too but a Cheese Whopper has almost 1500 grams sodium and I'm only allowed 2000 for the whole day.

We usually do left overs from the night before here or if I'm working, sandwiches and the occasional school lunch. I do not recommend the school lunch usually.   :puke;

One of my fondest memories of school food (many years ago) is hominy. I never ate it nor did I notice anyone else eating it. But it was still there at least once a week.

I went to boarding school in Jamaica so there was no escaping the "school" breakfasts, lunches or dinners, most of which were dreadful.  One especially nasty breakfast selection was a thin, gruel-like cream of wheat or cornmeal porridge which occasionally featured crunchy bits of boll weevils for "texture".  I was 10 when I went and 14 when I left and part of my survival strategy was to use a chunk of my allowance money to tip the kitchen staff who would slip me some choicer things to eat out the back door of the kitchen.  I also got in trouble for giving money to some of the maintenance staff to go into town to buy me real goodies evry now and then.  Whenever we went home we got to choose our favorite meal for the first night home.  I often chose oxtail stew with rice and pigeon peas, fried plantain and callaloo (sort of like spinach).

I can't remember any school lunches when I was a kid.  I must have blocked it.

Monrein's post helped me remember breakfast at camp (thanks Monrein!) - thin cream of wheat (sans insects), but served with stewed prunes.  I really, really hated those prunes.  I guess they didn't want us to be constipated.  One day the staff served me a huge bowl of cream of wheat after I said I only wanted a little.  The rule was that we had to eat everything on our tray, no waste, before leaving the dining hall.  I was probably about 9 or 10 at the time.  I sat there for over an hour after everyone else left.  I refused to eat the stuff. They used to force me to drink milk, too, and I would always get sick because I am lactose intolerant.

your stories remind me of one my father used to tell. it has to do with the reason he makes his infamous pot of chili.  daddy went to a military academy. they had students in elementary through college. he said the food wasn't bad but was the same each week. chicken on sunday, meat loaf on tuesday etc. the head guy liked chili which was served on saturdays. but he did realize that all children might not like it, so milk and rice was provided for those who didn't want chili. the kids used to turn the guys stomach. they drank the milk and ate the chili over the rice.  i grew up eating my chili over rice and somewhere along the way started topping it with pickle relish. (YUMMY)

Yumm morein, you reminded me of my all time favorite meal... rice and pigeon peas... made puerto rican style with pork.  My ex-mother in law was Puerto Rican.  Oh my goodness... I loved her rice and pigeon peas....  I liked the fried plantains too.

Last night we ate fideo and guiso.  It was delicious... my mother in law made it. Man the guiso was H O T ... but yummy!

We had a new recipe tonight, Salmon Pasta.  We put sour cream and chopped green onions on the salmon, and
cooked in the oven.  Then we put pasta on with a little evoo, and butter.  We put the salmon on the pasta and fixed some grilled vegies and Texas Toast.  Then a slice of cantolope for dessert.  Yum, yum goooood.

hehe  pigeon peas are made by Goya.... they are green but kinda turn tanish brown when cooked.  I can't describe the taste.  My ex - MIL would cook pork, cut it up in small pieces then cook white rice in the pork drippings, add sofrito, pigeon peas and capers.  OMGoodness! Delish!!!!

Today we are going to a friends house for dinner.  Everyone except me is eating T-Bone steaks.  I will eat grilled chicken (cause I can't have my steaks medium rare yet and I don't like them well done).  We are also having scalloped potatoes, brussel sprouts, salad and bananas foster for dessert.  I cant wait!
