What do writers eat for lunch?

What do writers eat for lunch?

This question goes back at least to the beginnings of time (or a split second before...)

First things first: Thankfulness that we even have means to eat lunch. Of course, this speaks to the truth of maintaining a general thankfulness we have roofs over our heads, heat, clean water to drink and many basic things that millions of people in the world don't have.

My lunch today was a bowl of Great Northern beans, cooked with garlic & onion powder, oregano and lemon pepper seasoning. I try to avoid adding salt to anything (excess salt weakens artery walls), so I use these spices frequently. I enjoy cooking at home because I can cook in a healthier manner and season to my tastes. It keeps costs down too.

Along with beans, I had a cup of decaffeinated tea. I like drinking hot liquids in the winter time. Here in West Virginia we've had a couple of days of snow.

I've had this tea for awhile. For some reason I was thinking it was green tea, but it was actually regular black tea.

I hear tea has anti-oxidants? Green tea might have more? Perhaps one of my readers can fill me in on whether black tea or green tea is healthier? I'd like to know!

Just curious, what do other writers out there eat for lunch?

Leave some comments here on the blog & let me know what you had for lunch today.

Is there any food out there that's particularly good fuel for the writing process (besides living off of coffee?) Beans seem to stick with me pretty good if I eat a full bowl of them. But are there any other similar nutritious & cost-effective foods that are quick to make?

What's your favorite lunch foods you like to make at home?

My lunch today was terrible! I had to get my car inspected, and the garage is beside of a McDonalds...The fish is ok, right? *sigh* (No, it's not.) I had fries, a fish sandwich and a medium Dr. Pepper. I can feel the difference in my body. I feel sluggish and a little woozy, like I want to take a nap. Convenience isn't always the best answer.

I generally have Crystal Light and a sandwich or leftovers for lunch. Now dinner, is another story. I had made a crockpot dish couple days ago with ham, corn, asparagus and carrots. I'm using the leftovers to make a kind of Shepherd's pie tonight.

Yum, the crockpot dish sounds delicious! A family member used to cook with a crockpot, which is great when you're working all day & can come home to a hot, already made dinner. I need to get a crockpot! That's my next mission for the yard sales & thrift shops this year. Great idea!

Yay for cooking at home! In the winter, it's also a good way to avoid the flu. :)

We had turkey/lettuce/pickle/mustard/mayo sandwiches on homemade bread for lunch today. Then we had this awesome pizza (and a salad) for dinner:
