Brown baggin' it

I tossed a couple of carrot sticks to each dog before grabbing a couple for myself, then dashed out the door. Late for work, as usual. I surveyed my lunch - four sardines, gravlax, leftover duck curry, Brown Cow cherry vanilla yogurt, green salad, more carrots. Around 10am my downfall announced itself by the familiar waft of grease as it drives by my office window. "No SunChips for me today" I say, and I resolutely munch a carrot stick and eat the last of the the homemade yogurt I left in the refrigerator last Friday.

Two hours and two pints of water later, my back teeth are swimming and there is no one to watch the lobby. I take a chance and sprint towards the back when I hear the front door open - but I'm on a mission and continue down the hall. I return to find one of my co-workers had returned with lunch from MickeyD's. The smell of grease is overwhelming so I politely excuse myself and retreat to the lunch room.

1pm finds me I eating the sardines while heating up the leftover duck curry my mom gave me. The curry smells good, too bad there wasn't any rice to go with it. Didn't matter - I ate it anyway. For dessert I had a few spoonfuls of Brown Cow brand yogurt. I passed on the gravlax, green salad and carrots. I can always eat those tomorrow since I'm pretty full right now. But my co-worker temps me with some sliced apples. I had a piece. Yummm ...

I munched on a few more carrot sticks dipped into hummus. For dinner? I didn't feel like shopping so we raided the pantry and came up with musubi ... basically SPAM sushi. A mound of sushi rice topped with a slice of fried SPAM and wrapped in a sheet of seaweed.

Good stuff.
