OUT TO LUNCH

I know I must have mentioned at least once how my favorite meal is LUNCH.  I love lunch.  It's always a surprise.  Do I have a sandwich?  Leftovers?  Open that packet of aloo matar and add leftover peas?

I especially love to go OUT to lunch.  Then I'd have something I don't normally have at home--like an omelet, or a club sandwich, or sometimes I get wild and crazy and actually order a HAMBURGER!!!

I don't need a fancy restaurant, either (although I do love Tastings here in town).  Mostly we go to diners and family restaurants.  We rarely patronize franchise restaurants.  There's nothing particularly special about something a local teen has heated up in a microwave, or a tub of trans fat.

Yesterday was our wedding anniversary and we'd planned to go out to lunch to celebrate.  Well, the best laid plans and all that.  First one thing and then another came up and the next thing you know, I'm eating a tuna sandwich at home.  (It was really good, by the way--I add lots of crunchies: celery, onion, and tons of lettuce.)

We're still up in the air about lunch for today.  But I'm hoping.

What's your favorite meal to eat out?

  1. Dinner. At a nice restaurant. Preferably with outdoor seating. But really, any meal that's served to me is my favorite meal :-)

  2. I'm with Ingrid. Any meal served to me is golden. But I do love a late lunch, especially when I have the option to order off the dinner menu. Double the choices - half the crowd! Late lunches feel so relaxing, like something you do on vacation.

  3. ANY meal! But I especially love going to lunch at my local Indian restaurant. They have a buffet lunch & I get to sample all kinds of interesting food that I never would have had the courage to have ordered off the menu. (Besides, it's so much cheaper to sample it on a buffet.) (And they label everything so I know what to order if I really like it. Yea!!)

  4. Well, they all sound great, but I like going out to breakfast, because one can order all the extra breakfast trimmings that one doesn't have time or energy for at home.
