Everyday, I take the same thing to work for lunch and it is yummy. Lemon yogurt with a string cheese to dip and two diet cokes. This lasts all day and as eaten between customers.
One day I took some chicken and it just wasn’t right. I felt slightly upset all day and got some leg bruises from running into furniture. Ouch.

I am proud to say that I avoided eating my vegetable soup again (it’s been 3 days now) because someone brought a whole bag of bagels and 3 containers of flavored spreads and put it all in the copy machine/mailbox room with a sign that said, “enjoy!” While cutting one of the bagels in half with a plastic (egads!) butter knife, some crumbs dropped onto the work area (stapler, paper clips, paper cutter) and I shuddered–I’d purposefully avoided the sesame bagel–but I picked up the big crumbs that I could see. I feel that free lunch is awesome, but free lunch set out in a room full of papers, mail and supplies is sort of sadistic.

At first I thought you meant those Danish butter cookies. I have no idea if they’re really Danish but I feel like that’s what the tin says.

Last night I was unexpectedly near Whole Foods again so I got more peppered turkey and had another turkey/muenster/mayo/12-grain sandwich. While at Whole Foods I also bought a big bag of potato chips to eat with these sandwiches so I don’t get hungry by 5pm and so that I reduce the amount of packaging garbage I produce and save money. Where’s my gold star?

Oh my god. I just had flashbacks to the family gatherings of my Italian Catholic girlhood, which was studded with those damn cookies.

I went for coffee, just so you know.

I love Italian butter cookies. They never taste good, but I always eat them anyway. Somehow I always forget that. And, of course you’re brilliant!! It’s the people who think that unplugging the microwave after every use who aren’t.

you are *brilliant*, full-stop, or, as they say in my profession, simpliciter. although you are right that this is a clear example of said brilliance here.

and i was already going to comment before i saw that k. had referenced our phone conversation but now that she has i can say that i said, i’m waiting for to see what e. has had for lunch, at which point k. says, me too, OH! she’s posting it now!! *joy in her voice*.

finally, i’m real proud of you for remaining cool under such anxiety-producing circumstances. Keep up the good work!

You are smart to freeze some for later.

I had a turkey sandwich, the kind C. used to make for me. I had no feelings of regret or remorse or missing C.. Just happy to have this sandwich recipe. I ate it while talking to N. on the phone about D-R-A-M-A. Then I wished I had some chips, so I think I’ll go out for some. Or some coffee.
