To those who pack their lunches for work,

In the morning, on the days that I have to work, I spend about 30 minutes preparing my lunch for the day.  Sometimes I wonder if this is a good thing, spending all this time at home in the kitchen.  The kitchen is where I spend the majority of my time.  The other night I read a quote by Thomas Moore.  It reads as follows:

"The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest."  

This quote gives me some relief!  And plus I get to have an amazing lunch.  I can sense that my co-workers are jealous.  

Today's lunch:

Okay, early shift snack: plain greek yogurt with blueberries and agave syrup topped with chopped pecans and crispy rice cereal.

Main dish: brown rice with ghormeh sabzi, a Persian stew and chicken herb sausage.

Sides: kale salad with grapefruit, parsley, mint, toasted sesame seeds, lemon juice and a touch of olive oil.  Snack O's which are similar to Funyuns.

Dessert: dark chocolate covered almonds and a Fuji apple.

Emergency back up if food runs out: banana chips and a chocolate chip cookie.  



Always looking forward to lunch hour,
My-Linh

P.S. I hope that my roommates don't think I am crazy with all the food I cook!  Don't worry sometimes their stomachs get fed with egg sandwiches and the latest baked good.
