So... Whats for lunch?

[Lise]

Hmm.... always wondered about those bento boxes at Superstore. Have you tried the Indian Curry Rice ones by President Choice? Not too shabby but the portions were too small.

  Went to T&T yesterday to buy rice. Egad! I didn't think rice would be this pricey. Remind me to grow my own rice field paddy one of these days. Everything is so damn expensive these days. *sighing*

Best to buy organic brown rice by the 25lb sack.  Go to Proorganics Sat morning at Willingdon north of HWY 1.

I'll hafta check that out.  I have a big sack of brown basmati that was cheap at Save On (less than $10).

Totally off topic, but I think that nowadays, the word "organic" is so over-rated and over-used.

[Sportsdude]

yup anybody can put 'organic' on labels it seems today.
Somehow organic has become 'home grown' down here. lol
 

[purelife]

There were "organic" walnuts.  I was like 'WTF?'!  Walnuts are grown in shells and are protected.  Perhaps they were washed in organic water?

[Sportsdude]

in that case pesticides weren't used.
Hence 'organic'

I rather by my food at a local orchard/farmers market.

What's for Lunch?  Jeckyl and I had Greek take-out.  Chicken, rice, potato, salad and pita platter.  *burp*
 
 Ok.  Back to packing for camp.
   

[Sportsdude]

have fun in Beachcombers land!
I had tomato soup and olives, I'm still rationing food off trying to save money for my move.
 

[Lil Me]

Do your parents charge you for groceries at home?  Or can you eat whatever you want from the kitchen?  

[Sportsdude]

I usually buy my own groceries. But right now I'm just eating my food and canned soup that never gets eaten.

mmmmmmmm...hummous with pita, cous cous and chicken... YUMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!

[Lise]

Best ever humus..... Habibi's on W. Broadway. Yum!!!

  Worst ever! Store-bought from Save-On Foods. Eecky.

Hello lovely people!

Heckyl and Jeckyl ate the Stupidstore brand Bento Boxes for dinner tonight (nuke for 4 mins).  Salmon teriyaki, rice, veggies and a vegetable gyoza.  They loved them.  Quite a bargain at $3.50 each and healthier than fast food, when you need to eat in a hurry.  Cute little compartmentalized dish and [FONT color=#0000ff]comes with a pair of chopsticks.

I chowed down on leftovers.
   
 Chopsticks are the stupidest way to eat something, especially rice, ever!

[P.C.]

I wouldn't say that they were the stupidest way to eat......although it's one thing I never mastered well.  I have Forkchops.....I'm much better with these.
