16 servings of cheap pilsner last night? Attracted to a 6” seafood sandwich you saw being ordered and need someone to talk to? Feel like something pasta-y, but not exactly? This is what terrorizes our nation’s workers every day. It is ever-present, in the back of our minds--riding on the train, up the elevator, in that meeting. But these are simply facets of the one great question. The answer to which must be provided before we can ever grasp contentment. What’s for lunch?

Dipso I may follow your lead and order the EXACT SAME THING.
Come on WFLers, let's all do it!
if you get a grilled cheese, make sure that you have it with some tomato soup. or better yet, with tomato basil bisque. dip that grilled cheese into it and it's just heavenly.

tater tots
That would be great. But I'm going with the wreck.
I had actually planned on hitting the potbelly place for a wreck, but work has conspired to keep me at my desk. The horror! Perhaps i'll grab one for dinner though.
Jo, what was that you said about the wreck? get double meat?
double meat wreck with heavy mayo, extra peppers and everything else but mustard.
as a devout follower of the lunch blog committee, i am enjoying my wreck from potbelly right now. since it's chilly out, i opted for an ABP mediterranean pepper soup with lentils. i like to get foods from different places and put them together for the perfect meal. besides, potbelly's vegetable soup is too salty.
and instead of "opted for" i meant "added" since i am enjoying both the wreck AND mediterranean pepper soup. i'm so deliriously happy with my food that i forgot how to construct proper sentences.
I got a wreck with extra meat (not double), heavy mayo and peppers, no mustard, macaroni salad, pickle and an orangina.
A two-stop lunch, La Choi? I don't know how I feel about that. For one thing, I don't think I could pull that off around here (Michigan Avenue), at least not at high-noon. I'm generally a work-through-luncher -- that would mean twice the waiting. Twice the people. Twice the hate. And that might not be good for a fella who's experiencing chest pains from the hate already. Double meat!!! Jo, why didn't you say anything before?!?!?
2 stop lunch is nothing...try 3! i go the extra mile to get the perfect lunch. why? b/c it's the one thing that gets me out of the office everyday. therefore, i will gladly wait in a line if that means more time away from the desk.
also, ABP is super fast and you just pick up your shit and go. therefore, stopping there for soup is easy. i usually hawk their clam chowder, but a wreck and clam chowder would've made me feel extra bloated and gassy. (the lentils are bad enough!)
mmmm...Orangina.
Where have you been all my life?
I try to avoid turkey for months prior to Thanksgiving. Hey, that's something to blog about. Next week, I suppose.
Welcome e-que!
Welcome e-que!
Sorry I'm so late to the part-ay today; I've been in a meeting about my favorite subject: budgets! Yippee! Then, somewhere I lost an hour... anyway, I'm eating now - leftovers of my award-winning meatloaf (it's supreme awesomeness verified by two other staff members now who couldn't resist the smell of the loaf!)
All this tomato soup and grilled cheese talk though has me hungry for that - that may be dinner. Though, I have no tomato soup at home and the only cheeses I have are camembert, some french blue that tastes like gorgonzola and an emmenthaler. That makes me sound like a cheese snob. Hmmm... I'm not, I swear!
Wow, this is a lot of meat.
ethics -- with your cheese knowledge and my wine expertise, we could combine powers and rule the world!
I've got beer and mustard covered!
cheese and pretzels and mustard are a heavenly combination. Maybe that'll be dinner. I need some crackers though. I only have bread and I don't even have a mechanism for toasting it. Though, I've heard that you can make toast in the oven... is this true?
I should mention that I'm sort of domestically dumb about some things - last night I learned that you can actually make toast in the toaster oven. I'm still wrapping my head around that, but the actual oven doesn't seem like it would work at all. Doesn't it just heat the bread???
G O IRISH!!!
Wow, you really *are* the cool kids! Check out my monumental new blog. It's so exciting, I know. I just got over my hangover enough to have lunch. Hooray for me! Just in time to go out for a beer.
a flurry of friday afternoon activity!
Ethics, you can toast in a conventional oven - I'd suggest a light broil.
They have this belgian mustard ale at the Binny's (you guys have Binny's beverage depots out there?). I'm going to buy one of those on the way and drink to all my WFL friends when I get home tonight.
I bid you peace. Bye bye.
