Do you have those little angels and devils on your shoulder telling you what you want and what you ought to get for lunch?
It turns out that I do.
And it turns out that my wife is somehow involved.
She was out of town for a week and here's how that unfolded for me.
Monday - Skipped lunch, ate McDonalds #2 with a coke after work
Tuesday - Skipped lunch, ate Taco Bell after the conference ended
Wednesday - Ate lunch, 3 slices of sour dough bread.
Thursday - Skipped lunch, ate McDonalds after work again.
Friday - Skipped Lunch, Ate Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Wendy's
So it turns out that my wife is my little angel. She tells me, or the idea of her, tells me what I ought to eat. With out her around, I'm like a child; unable to feed myself anything nutritive.
Answer me this. Who's your lunch Super Ego? Who keeps you in check? And what are they telling you to have for lunch today? What are you actually going to have?

And while my wife is back from the Midwest, her influence must have gotten lost like a suitcase on a Delta Flight. For it has not caught up with her yet.
I skipped lunch today. I'll probably hit a drive through on my way home to deal with this hunger. I'm thinking... Big Mac. that's got lettuce, it's like a salad.
So what I hear the voice of my wonderful life partner telling me is:
"Dear Husband, you ought to have an apple and the salad option for this meatless Monday in the school cafeteria"
The action I'm going to take though is more like:
"the wife doesn't read the lunch blog any more, she won't even know how poorly I ate for lunch last week. Let's go fo one more day of drive through junk food."
Mau is the one who almost daily reminds me that lunch is actually an option for the gainfully employed.. Once we are out of the building, though, I'm on my own in offering and managing my waist line...
I have a cabal of co-workers who comment on my lunch choices. I suppose you can call them "Angels".
I still haven't eaten today. Instead I keep snacking on almonds and dried fruits.
This is indeed a Bizarro lunch day for your Czar.
Hm. I guess right now the angel on my one shoulder is my trainer. and the devil is . . . my tummy. More food!
Lunch today = leftover pizza. Just a meh, b/c we no longer have a toaster oven. I hate nuked pizza.
Lunch today was leftover lamb/eggplant/tomato stuff on quinoa. Tasty.
But in more exciting news - Bravo Bravo! At about the 29 second mark! I would have warned Bob, if I knew . . . .

Jo, they were right near your building - did you see any of them!
Oh, and I am terribly sorry, but some evil dickless spammers stole my address book. I'm sure you're all too smart to open up a random website in an email from me, but in case you're that trusting - DON'T!!!!!
Ah, shoot, the website got cut off.

I was out sick on Tuesday. For lunch I made a double letter special
grilled egg and cheese.
Sour dough bread grilled in butter with a 4 cheese mexican blend. Then I nuked a scrambler and added it in before I put the two halves of bread together.
It was the best part of my sick day since we have had a Comcast outage for the last few days. No phone, no web, no fun.
Lunch today is pending.
I am still feeling sick and I want to skip out on the last hour of work today. I mean I'm a teacher, and I'm not teaching because there are no kids, so I figure I ought to be able to not teach at home.
I was banking on being able to get out so I skipped lunch at the cafeteria. Good thing too. The turkey hot dog was gross, the smiley potatoes were under cooked, and the rest was unmentionable.
Not sure what's for lunch but the wife on my shoulder is saying that I shouldn't supersize.
What are 'smiley potatoes'?
The smiley potato is a french fry / tater tot alternative. It is made with potatoes in the same way that mcnuggets are made with chicken. That is to say the original paterial is ground up and then injection molded in to a fun shape. In this case, the shape is a smiley face. They could be good if they were deep fried and salted, but in the cateteria, they are baked and unsalted.
I did grab a ham & Chedder 8 inch sub at safeway. Side of diet Dr. Pepper, and a bag of Utz's Salt and Vinegar.
Speaking of Utz's, I always think about the story that GG told us about the UTZ family going to a swinger's party.; I know that the story goes, they were turned off by it, but in my mind, whenever I hear Utz's I think swingers.
I thought the Utz's were into it - it was GG's grandparents that weren't? So you are correct in that association.
Lunch: more eggplant/lamb/tomato stuff on quinoa. I think I have one more huge portion, or two small portions left. I gotta finish it. I'm getting sick of the same thing. Why did I make such a big pan of it??
Also: candy corn. Will have yogurt & a nanner soon.
Spicy Chicken Sandwich from the cafeteria. man I enjoy Fridays.
