Lunches Last Week: Three Days of Meatloaf, 12-Hour Turkey Burritos and Kingmorland.com Loves Five Guys!

As many of you are as shocked as I am, work has been very busy as of late and so I haven’t had the appropriate time to dedicate myself to Lunches of the Week.  This week is no different and so I am just going to quickly throw on the pictures of our lunches, with a solid showing that was well documented on Friday.

Monday

I brought in turkey meatloaf with roasted cauliflower:

The Dude brought in three  multiple meat and cheese sandwiches, one of which he ate at 9:45am.  He heated them up in the toaster oven that we have at work and based on the picture, decided that putting the napkin in with the sandwich was okay.  Also please note that the silver-looking fork is actually plastic.

ManMeat brought in leftovers of a lentil soup that he’s had before and didn’t feel the need to take a picture of it.  However, he did take a picture of his Sugar Free Jello Snackpack:

BLD/HG made an early run at Lunch of the Week with a combination plate of Chinese food that, not surprisingly, smelled delicious.

Tuesday

The Dude stayed on the sandwich train on Tuesday, but decided to outsource the making of it to Subway.  A solid $5 footlong, clearly soaking wet with oil and vinegar, and an apple that has been sitting on his desk for at least three months, are what filled him up on this day.

I brought in more turkey meatloaf with cauliflower, but put it in a round container to make it feel like it was something different:

BLD/HG, clearly confident in his lunch from Monday, went with a mixed salad on Tuesday, a healthy-looking concoction of…well, you know, salad stuff:

ManMeat spiced it up a little, literally, bringing in a chicken curry with cauliflower, spinach and rice that again brought me a step closer to trying curry again.

Wednesday

I brought in turkey meatloaf for the third day of the week, although I substituted the cauliflower for broccoli and added in some roasted yams.

The Dude had another sarnie-day, but brought this one from home.  He toasted this one as well, although it appears he did not toast any napkins with it.  Extra points to The Dude for the placement of the sandwich for the picture allowing us maximum exposure to the layers of meats and cheese:

ManMeat went to a place called Pump, where he ordered a “12-hour turkey burrito” (you read that correctly) and is still talking about how upset he is that they charged him more for an extra vegetable over the allotted three that you are expected to have.  The burrito includes: brown rice, lettuce, 12-hour turkey, spinach, zucchini (called courgette in England), tomato, cucumber, cheese and hot sauce on a whole wheat tortilla.  The extra vegetable cost him an additional $0.49 and he further described it as a “healthier but less tastier version of Chipotle.”  Sounds great, doesn’t it?

Thursday

The fourth day of the week was my first without meatloaf, as I brought in leftover steak with sauteed spinach and roasted potatoes.  I added in some Costa Rican Lizano salsa, which I have discussed before on this blog.

ManMeat had a salad that Mrs. ManMeat put together.  Looking somewhat like a traditional cobb salad, he also had a small pack of Jello that he claims was regifted after he tried to sneak it into her lunch bag.  Nice try.  You will also notice the small plastic container of salad dressing on the right side of the salad, a much better looking carrying device than the ziploc bag of last week that looked like a baggie of heroin.

Speaking of little baggies, ManMeat also had this great afternoon snack packed for him:

Friday

Because of the snowstorm on Thursday night and all-day Friday, I worked from home.  While I am not Catholic, my wife is and therefore I join her in no-meat Fridays during Lent.  So, my Friday lunch was a tuna fish sandwich with Utz Crab Chips and celery stalks:

Even though she makes fun of me for posting about our lunches at work, she insisted on a plate that looked good for the camera.  Mission accomplished.

On the other side of the spectrum, ManMeat and BLD/HG (who did make it into the office) decided to go to Five Guys Burgers and Fries on Friday.  With the excitement of little kids on Christmas, they took pictures of everything including:

The peanuts they ate while they waited for their burgers to cook:

A bag of Cajun fries that they each got…

And of course, their burgers (BLD/HG first, then ManMeat):

And just to prove how dedicated they are to their lunches being on this website, they left this behind at Five Guys:

Thank you, gentlemen.
