What's for Lunch/Brunch?

[Menolly]

Ooo...I've never had that dish, High L-rd. Now that sounds awesome.

Is it hot as in szechuan style? The hotter the better, and I love garlic!

I'm thinking I'm in the mood for Church's chicken with fried okra today...

[Damelon]

Yes, it's szechuan. My favorite Chinese style.

I had half of a chicken "fresco" sandwich from the safeway deli. It's a ciabatta roll with garlic sauce, grilled chicken breast, mozarella, fresh spinach and roasted red pepper. I washed it down with two peanut butter cookies and some water. I have the other half of the sandwich in the fridge for tomorrow's lunch.

I had a half chef salad at the Frontier today---they make the best! (especially considering I had one with toxic ham in a very cumbersome taco bowl/shell at Mannies before going to SF, barf)

[aliantha]

Ropa vieja with yellow rice and some fried yuca, from the Cuban place about a block away. Keeping with the Hispanic theme, I made some corn & black bean salad last night to take to a party tonight, and there was a little too much to put in the bowl I'm taking to the party, so I brought the rest with me to work and am eating it now, mmmm.

[Cameraman Jenn]

I'm gonna have leftover tortollini pasta with homemade sausage in cream sauce. Bloodguard Bob made it last night. Yummers.

[Damelon]

I had an Italian Beef sandwich and fries.

[danlo]

Penne pasta with shrimp-salad and a bowl of outstanding red chili chicken soup at The Cooperage. Does the restaurant sound familiar?

[Damelon]

Never heard of it.

[Menolly]

Nah...me neither

How 'bout a review, danlo?

[Cameraman Jenn]

I had a half a turkey sammie on wheat and a peanut butter cookie.

[Damelon]

Had a Beef and Cheddar sandwich.

S.O.S

[Menolly]

Truly??

Good old creamed beef? Did you use the Buddig dried stuff?

*shudder*

[bloodguard bob]

No. I made a cheesy cream sauce with sausage over tortallini the other night and I had some left over. When it cooled it was obvious I had used too much roux (I totally winged it) cuz it was a bit thick and gravy-like.
I never knew S.O.S. had any particular ingredients like creamed beef...hold on...BLEORGFFF!
Sorry, anyway my dad would slop leftover turkey, stuffing beans, or whatever onto toast after thanksgiving/christmas and as long as it was covered in gravy it was called Sh%t on a Shingle or S.O.S.

[Menolly]

I never knew S.O.S. had any particular ingredients like creamed beef...hold on...BLEORGFFF!

This is what I know as S.O.S. from WWI.

[bloodguard bob]

Dad was in the army around the Korean war and has eaten many things he's called S.O.S yet I don't think he's ever heard of anything called creamed beef coming from Lepanto, Arkansas.
The recipe doesn't sound too awful, though. Have you actually eaten it?

[Menolly]

Once.

Too salty for me, even if no salt is added to the white sauce. The dried chipped beef is really salty to my taste.

And that's saying something, as there's nothing better to me than belly (the really salty type) lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel including kosher salt with a slab of raw onion!

[Menolly]

After dropping Hyperception and Beorn off at the Y to work out, I took myself across the street to Nero's and had their lingiuni with red clam sauce. Oh...yum, what a treat. It came with a tossed salad with bleu cheese dressing on my request, and some nice fresh garlic bread.

I just had iced water with a slice of lemon. It was perfect for under $10.

[Damelon]

I brought in a salami sandwich on pumpernickel, and a ham sandwich on wheat.
