Lunch Today: Chili with Rice

Another day, more leftovers.  My wife and I made my mother’s beef chili last Sunday and today was the day to bring it for lunch, along with some white rice that we had left over.

Add a can of Diet Coke from home and it’s the perfect meal for a cold Friday that officially began when I needed to clear off an inch of snow from my car at 6:35 this morning.

I’ll also admit that the amount I brought was way too much for lunch.  We had just the right amount of rice left, but we had more chili than I needed…but after serving myself an appropriate amount, the chili that was left over was clearly not enough to eat at another time.  My solution?  Pour more on, which is why I am now appropriately stuffed and ready for a nap.

Other lunches around me: curry chicken with white rice, which smelled pretty good and almost convinced me to try curry again; a turkey sandwich with triple fiber whole wheat bread; and a prepared salad from a salad maker downstairs.
