JLK Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 A slice of whole wheat bread with Kasseri. I'm cursing myself for going out hard last night when tonight is New Years. Oh, my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManekiNeko Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 To say goodbye to 2006, I whipped up the Pan-Roasted Tournedos with Wild Mushrooms and Pepper Sauce (it's pimped-up Steak Diane) printed in the 12/27/06 WaPo (recipe from Tood Gray at Equinox). As a side, I made my take on Bittman's Roasted Brussell Sprouts with Garlic that was printed in the Minimalist column in the NYTimes awhile back (I can provide this if necessary since you have to pay to access it). A bottle of 2005 Bigfoot was consumed prior to prep and a dinner bottle of 2006 Stone Old Gaurdian enjoyed during cooking and with dinner (yay Viking gene!!!). Her indoors (i.e. my wife) had 2003 Testal with dinner, whilst I had the barleywine. I can see both working with the meal, but I gotta say the beer won. The pepper in the sauce matched so well with the brashy hoppy bitterness compared to the oak and peper in the wine. Granted the beer is from a world class brewery and the wine was an impulse purchase at Whole Foods (plus, I doubt the vintner's status in the wineworld (good robust red table wine, though)), but still. Add another to Garrett Oliver's win column. For dessert, we had some Kahlua truffle barlike thingies my stepsister-in-law and her muy guapo hombre made. A dram of Dow's 10 Year Tawny Port was enjoyed along with, mostly because I didn't feel like finishing off the majority of a bomber of Stone's Imperial Stout all by myself (her indoors gets drink off of 1 drink (damn you, reverse of the Viking gene!!)).

legant Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I've been working from home a lot more recently. Lunch usually consists of ramen noodles (I don't know why I've suddenly developed a craving for the stuff), english muffin with cheese or PB&J, or apples & cheese. All very quick, minimal effort foods. For the work-at-home crew: what's in your lunchbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly low-effort: when I work from home, I'm all about throwing a sandwich on the foreman grill. Usually some sort of decent cheese with basic cold cut and mustard. Occasionally I'll get more fancy, but generally it's the basics when I'm actually trying to do work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mktye Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Trader Joe's freeze-dried, unsweetened & unsulfured mango.

Not quite sure about those either, but I did somehow manage to finish the whole bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
