Just had a big piece of Lasagna. Frozen about a week, heated in a microwave. It was too big, my stomach now hurts. I give it a 2, out of 5.

That sounds great, do they do home delivery?

Nah, it's a wifey little operation, I doubt it even profits. They're always slammed at lunchtimes but they close at 2pm, doesn't seem long enough to make money out of selling sarnies at £2 a pop when they make the hot ones to order. They do some bloody nice sandwiches though.

Rate my lunch? Today? Or every day? I'm married with 2 kids and the wife doesn't work. Hence the reason I'm still on dialup (expensive out in the boonies for broadband) and why I don't have a G25 or a separate graphics card (onboard as most of you know). I get a good hot home cooked meal on the table when I get home every night, and whatever is left, is put in a container and taken to work. I also have inlaws who just butchered a cow, so lots of steaks. I think last Friday it was T-bone steak for lunch. Today it was spagetti with homemade sauce from the home grown tomatoes and peppers along with ground meat from Butterfly (the cow that was recently butchered, my kids named it ). My rating almost every day for lunch? 10/10!

Yup, my girls named all the cows. Every time we have beef it's "Are we eating Butterfly tonight? We just looooove Butterfly!" LOL.

(sorry to any vegetarians or those who's religions that eating beef would be offensive )

my lunch today...

KFC in the Metro Centre (nr Newcastle) - Large Popcorn Chicken meal cost me £3.99... on the whole I'd give it 8/10... 2 marks being knocked off because of the price!

I have to agree there is nothing to beat home-grown food. Especially stuff like tomatoes, peppers, onions, cabbages, carrots - they are so amazingly tasty when they don't come out of a supermarket farm it's like you're eating a completely different vegetable. It sounds like you already appreciate how lucky you are.

I've been living in flats in the city for years, just (last month) moved into another one, still in the middle of York city but with a pretty sizeable garden out back and a greenhouse. I am totally going to plant that place up to the eyeballs this year. Sadly I don't know any pastoral farmers these days but I think my girlfriend's dad does judging by the stuff he brings over when he comes to stay - maybe I need to have a word with him...

I love when my mom cook's Carne Asada (just google it hehe), tasty 10/10

Yes, very lucky in that respect. Of course, with the single income, I am royally screwed now as I just found out that my truck which I still owe $5000 and 2 years on is completely rotted out on the frame and can't get it inspected (annual inspection we have to do here) nor can I find anyone willing to fix it. Which means either I have a $5000 pile of scrap sitting in the driveway, or I trade it on a new car which I just got back from looking. Yea!!! I was going broadband here this summer, and paying off some bills. Now I'm going to be taking 6 years worth of step back again! Gotta bite the bullet though. Tired of buying 5 year old vehicles on a 5 year loan and having 150000 miles on them when they are paid off. Not to mention paying repair bills when I'm still paying for the freakin things.

Well, not really. I get to drive the 150000 mile Altima while the wife gets a new car. Hmm, how's that work since I'm the one who is working??? LOL. Yep, that other thread about Ford loosing money and stuff? I think I'm buying a Ford, LOL. It's the only thing out there that is the type of vehicle I need that's affordable.

Yeah I learned about that* when I pulled up to a cop at Newark airport, asked "Excuse me, is this terminal 2?" and he said "Yeah, pull over, your inspection sticker is out of date". I didn't have the insurance documents in the truck so he gave me a court appearance for that too. And it wasn't even terminal 2. What a dick.

Have you thought about buying a Toyota or are you too American for that?

You must be closer to me than I thought! That's a local brew!

omg Carne Asada is sooo bomb. Today I had a subway somthing which was good like 8/10. A lot of time I stop by my house after school and eat some Topramen nooodles, which is like 1000/10 when u include the 10cent price haha, before I go to work.

SamH: Just look up the hill out of yr window, I'm waving from the bus stop.

Ham and (lashings of) Pickle sandwich on Multigrain batch bread......10/10 yum yum

My lunch yesterday was a Tesco's Bangers 'n' Mash ready meal. Surprisingly tasty, but when you're 20 stone in weight, 3 sausages in gravy and a spoonful of mash doesn't even fill a cavity in my molar, let alone my cavernous stomach!

I don't do lunches.

I wake up @ 8.30am, eat breakfast, work from 10 am to 5pm and eat a dinner when I get home. But if you asked about the dinner, of course it simply rocks because I'm the best chef in the world

home-made tomato-mozzarella-parmesan pizza, dough was too thick so 9- :yummy:

I make my own dinner, when I happen to eat it and can't complain, tens of years practise has had some effects

Lol i do the nearest kebab and the school break :P

Theres this special thing calle 64. Its the best thing ever arh 11/10

cant beat a good roll and chips out the chippy soaked with salt and vinegar. a good 8/10.

hmm

school cafateria food........................................... -∞/10
