Not A Quornburger

Some people get surprised by Quorn deliveries packaged in little red coolers with radios on the front of them. Other people get flaming bags of poo left at their front door. Some people might not think there's much difference between the two. They're probably just jealous.



1. hamburger fixin's on an onion roll
2. pea and potato salad
3. sweet, sweet mayonnaise
4. a berry or three

What you can't see is a big fat juicy all-American (and/or Mexican and/or Canadian) beef burger lovingly wrapped in parchment and hidden underneath the rest.

Big Blue Burger and Sweet Sweet Cherry Love

1. famous blue cheese burger
2. cherries
3. mayo on the side
4. MYSTERY item

There was no discussion about our Memorial Day dinner. Big ass blue cheese burgers all the way. Luckily there was one left for my lunch today. Tragically there was no bacon. And the cherries oh my word the cherries - I could eat a bushel of that sweet sweet cherry love. As for the mystery item ... come back tomorrow, when all will be revealed.

There's only 2 days left to Haiku that Blog! Don't miss you chance to show DJM a little love and maybe pick up a sweet pink lunchbucket all your own.

I Didn't Think It Would Still Be Good

It's more than just the heat that's making me cranky these days. I swear if you didn't know better you'd think I'm constantly trying to poison these kids. I mean I know I'm cheap, and I do hate waste. But still. I've never given them bad food. When I doubt I really do throw it out! But still. Every single freakin' thing they take out of the fridge; "Mom? Is this still good?". God forbid anything should get close to its "sell by" date. I've drank more milk in the past 2 weeks than in the 24 before that - PROVING that the milk isn't bad. And I don't. like. milk.

"Honey do you really think that I would EVER give you something that wasn't good for you? Something that would make you sick? Seriously? It smells fine. If something LOOKS okay and you smell it and it smells okay and then you taste it and tastes okay then it's most likely good to eat."

"Uhm...no but Mom, it's just that the expiration date says April 1st and it's already March 25th and I'm not sure blahblahblahblahblahblahblah"

"GIVE ME THE DAMN MILK!"

gulp

"Do I look like I'm dying? No? Then drink it!"

And now today.

"How was lunch?"

"I didn't eat it. I'm sorry Mom."

"Why not?"

"Well I didn't think it would still be good."

One of these days they'll push me too far and I'll serve up a big stale tortilla burrito for dinner with out of date cheese AND sour cream and and maybe some rotten fruit for dessert. Just. Cause. I. Can.



1. burger
2. berries
3. container of sugar
4. baby banana
5. pig full o' beans

My lunch was the same. I had a hamburger. It was left-over from last night. I mixed in sliced green onion and blue cheese crumbles and then grilled them. It was absolutely delicious. And I didn't die.
