Quick lunches

October 26th, 2005

I’m always on the hunt for a quick meal for lunch. When I’m running out of the house — late for work again — I try to find something in my kitchen that’s easy to make on the spot, or something that I can take with me to nuke or un-can at lunchtime.

Normally, that meal is a sandwich: bread, mustard, ham, cheese, wrap it, bam done. Other times, it’s a Lean Cuisine or Progresso soup: grab the package and I’m out the door. It’s no gourmet, but I try to keep myself on a budget.

This week, we’ve had no bread and no soup, so I’ve had to improvise. Today, I stole my son’s microwaveable mac and cheese. (He probably won’t like that when he gets older, but he’s 2, so I can get away with it.) Mix up a can of tuna, and you’ve got a meal a college student would be proud of.
