Oh baby, look how deliciousness ooze completely out.   I’m ready for my second one now at 1:35am.  My dear friend has introduced me to tuna fish in this paste-like form in a form of a sandwich and I cannot thank my friend enough.  I remember having such a disgusting experience when I tasted it in the cafeteria  in elementary school that I have never dared to eat it again.  Tuna fish that is not served by the government, since I went to public school, is absolutely amazing!  I usually have this with the spicy green peppers, but my co-worker distracted me by engaging me to talk to him about my naughty cats that I wasn’t aware that the girl making my sandwich gave me a red sweet pepper.   It wasn’t bad, but let me tell you, mayo and spiciness is key on having a delicious tuna fish sandwich!

I usually get Miss Vicki’s Jalapeno potato chips, but today I felt like having something plain with hard ridges which is why I chose ruffles!  A meal with a sandwich is just not complete without chips.  Ya gotta have it!  I haven’t had chips in such a long long time that I absolutely savored every single chip and at the same time wolfed down all of it.

Anyways, quick little posts here and there.  I do promise to make posts of the restaurants that I have come acrossed and also things that I have made!

Until next time,

What’s for Lunch at the Lord Series – Day 1

January 27, 2010 · Posted in Lunch, Work · 1 Comment 

Dear loyal Finechinagirl readers,

I recently got the newly released Blackberry Onyx (9700) and you cannot believe how excited I am to have it.  I have had the Blackberry Pearl, but I never got the data plan because it was much too rich for me.   But anyways, I can definitely go on about this amazing phone, but I won’t.  Now I can say is that this phone has a 3.2MP camera which I am excited to have and make use of.  I don’t need the camera to have such a high megapixels because I didn’t get the phone for the camera capabilities.

With this camera, I can safely whip out my phone and take pictures wherever I go without people staring me down like when I have my camera.  Somehow when you carry your camera, especially at work, it is just always shunned upon, unless you work for a photography studio which I’m sure not all of us does.  This past Monday, I decided to take pictures of my lunch and send it to my friend Sally over at the Tasty Confection. She has suggested that I post the pictures on my website and I thought, hey why not.  So this will be the first of the many lunches that I will post.  There are days where it will be the same thing, but I will explain to you the thought process behind choosing that particular dish.

So on Monday, I decided to get a salad from the cafeteria at work and dessert:

Romaine lettuce w/chickpeas, peanuts, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers mixed with olive oil

Not a bad image for a 3.2MP picture!  Most of the time I will be eating this unless I’m feeling famished.   This is my favorite combo for a salad.  It is healthy, fresh, and the different textures makes this an interestingly delicious salad.   The chickpeas and the peanuts are the highlight of my salad and I cannot eat it without it.  The rest of the toppings are there to lighten the heaviness of the creamy chickpea and the salty peanuts. Absolutely my favorite.  Call me crazy, but I love it.

Apple Crisp

Apple Crisp

At first Sally thought it was a potato kind of a dish, but it is actually an Apple dish.   It looks like remnants of an apple pie.  This apple crisp isn’t as sweet as I would like it but it was acceptable.  The tartness from the apple can be too much, but the top crust is crunchy and subtly sweet just the way I like it.   I wish the cafeteria lady gave me more of the crust because it compliments well with the apples, but that is quite alright.

Ok, until next time,
