tryptophannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Today for lunch I had Roast Turkey Breast (with gravy) and Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The turkey was quite succulent and the mash pash was awesome (as usual). What was even more awesome was that one of my oldest and dearest BFFs, Jesse, joined us. We spent most of the hour talking about the new hit reality tv show Flavor of Love and how New York is a skank ho.

Not really what I ate but pretty darn close:

odd man out

Today for lunch I packed leftover chicken wings from last night’s Plump Dumpling dinner and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in my Bergdorf Goodman Lunch Box. The day-old wings were greasy but far superior to yesterday’s barbecue fiasco. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich was assembled at approximately 8:45 a.m. using Jif creamy, multigrain bread from the Union Square Market, and thimbleberry jam from some monks in upstate Michigan. It was a first-class sandwich, only I accidentally added an extra slice of bread to one side, making for a lonely trip to the trash can for that little guy.

For dessert, I pillaged the roast turkey on Gael’s plate.

This lunch was delicious in a second grade chocolate-milk-with-lunch kind of way, and thus warrants a 2.5 star rating.

hard mac

Today for lunch, I ate barbecued chicken and a macaroni and cheese brick. I was put off by the crusty shells of macaroni and the mealy texture of the cheese therein. The dark-meat chicken was just alright, with the skin grossing me out and the sauce sweet but not tangy. Jason closed the meal by snarfing Tabasco noodle soup. “It was like seventeen sushi dinners being shoved up [his] nose at once.”

The next time I want macaroni and cheese, I will bring Easy Mac.

I give this meal .5 stars, with negative stars awarded for appearance.

spare me

Let's just say that today's lunch was a complete debacle. On the menu today: BBQ pork spare ribs and mac and cheese. Sounds delicious right? Wrong. Let's just say that about 2 1/2 minutes into my meal I had to give up and just cover it with napkins. Not even the macaroni and cheese could salvage this lunch. Ellen kept lifting the napkins looking for a little snack and came upon something that looked like a tooth. The only good part about this lunch was when Jason shot chicken soup out of his nose.

Overall rating: 1/2 star

soaking wet lemon butter sauce

Dear soaking wet panties 2006,

Today for lunch I had Tilapia with lemon butter sauce and egg noodles. I have to admit, the only thing this dish had going for it was the lemon butter sauce and considering I was in the midsts of a level 5 hangover, eating fish was probably not the way to go. I have learned my lesson. I should have listened to Jason and gone to McDonald's. You can never go wrong with a Big Mac. Never.

portion control

For lunch today, I ate Swedish meatballs and egg noodles. I accidentally dropped a dime in my food and Liz the cafeteria lady retrieved it for me with her tipped nails. The meatballs were decent, if slightly undercooked. I was dismayed by the meatball/noodle/grey sauce ratio, so I ate some of Lauren’s meatballs to even the score. This was a 1.5 star meal.
