Quick, what's for lunch?

Me, a nice salad, I stopped by the salad bar at Hiller's and filled a small container with all kinds of things, field greens/mesclun mix, veggies, a little meat, egg, cheese. A couple of olives on top. Raspberry walnut dressing.

Pretty tasty.

Great on a spinach salad with this red onion slices, pears, pecans and blue cheese or Feta.

I cook the rice in an electric rice steamer as the edamame cooks in an electric vegetable steamer.

Takes about five minutes to set up the cooking, five minutes to combine the ingredients in food containers, ten minutes for cleanup.

Very healthy, costs maybe a buck and a half for each lunch. People I work with think I am insane because I eat it so often.

The toast was Trader Joe's Pane, which is wonderful.

And a cup of tea, as usual.

Regular Original Italian with lettuce and banana peppers and an extra heavy dose of red wine vinegar and oil.

Unsweet tea (cutting out sugar where I can) and Garden Salsa Sun Chips. All in all a very satisfying lunch. JM knows how to make an Italian.

No olives but cranberries, pecans, chicken, & grapes with a sherry balsamic vinaigrette. It was delicious!
