So .. do you go to the nearest shop and buy a sandwich or a deli?
Or do you pack your lunch from home?
What do you normally have at lunch time when you are at work?
Re: Lunchtime at Work
Monday/Tuesday... Rice(could be biryani, palao, matar chawal) since we cook on Sunday!!!
Wednesday and Thursday... lunch with colleagues.. usually a hummus sandwich or spinach burritto or a slice of pizza
Friday.. lunch at jumma prayer (I get time off from work for prayer and our masjid offers free lunch) yum yum
I sometimes make an egg sandwich or left over sabzi sandwich in the morning for lunch but usually I don't have time for it!
If husband has time, he makes kabab sandwich in the morning for both of us but again usually we wake up just in time to get ready for work so don't do much prep in the morning!
Re: Lunchtime at Work
Free lunch , does it really exist? :hinna: … Once we had a new Dunkin Doughnut shop opening up near my office and we found out they were giving free doughnuts at lunchtime … we queued up for 50 minutes to get one free teeny weeny doughnut 
I love taking Biryani and hummous sandwiches to work … khao and so jaao 
… Its awesome to watch people drool at the beautiful aroma or biryani 
Re: Lunchtime at Work
lol you have no idea how many times I have brought biryani for some of my colleagues.. they love it.. I even had to buy them our basmati rice because they think it's the rice.. still none of them could make it right..i tell them its not khala jee ka ghar!
and yes free lunch at the masjid.. courtesy of this one arab family and I am telling you that both husband and wife cook every week for 50+ people and make a point to go to everyone to take lunch.. if I am running late,the wife packs it for me so I can eat it at work and if my husband or I am not around, they specifically ask for the other person and pack it for the missing person.. I love them to bitssssssssssss!!
Re: Lunchtime at Work
For lunch at work I usually have...
-salad: spinach leaves, tomatoes, chick peas, kidney beans, dressing
-tomato and basil soup: from Panera
-Microwavable Amy's, Kashi, or Lean Cuisine meals:
-Sometimes a sandwich
-Sometimes left-overs like biryani, etc
For snack:
Fruit: cantaloupe, tangerine, banana
Sabra hummus and crackers. It all comes in conveniently packed in a small snacking size.
Or I might buy something from the snack shop.
Re: Lunchtime at Work
RV , that sounds yummy … and such a nice variety too ..
GTG .. how lucky are you:kiss: you get free stuff and work done where ever you go 
… Last week the senior manager got some sandwiches for the team .. and i couldnt have them .. they were chicken and ham sammiches 
tough luck , I guess ..
Re: Lunchtime at Work
hahaahha I work wth food all day long... isnt this sad that even after all that I still can't cook or enjoy cooking at all!!!
I like free foood.
RV... nice ideas.. I love panera bread's soups and sandwichesss!
Re: Lunchtime at Work
Usually mix it up...
Some days I'll grab something on the go from a local bakery or deli if there's lots of work to do and lunch is short.
Some days I take lunch from home... can be a jacket potato, sandwich, fajita etc
Re: Lunchtime at Work
My wife pack my lunch everyday. Even when there is some official lunch , I forget to tell her and she will pack lunch I will take it work and then I would remember that I did not need to bring lunch so I put it in the fridge and eat it the next day.
Re: Lunchtime at Work
you are lucky Mirch , you manage to eat your lunch the next day :hinna: … Everytime I used to do it , my previous day’s lunch would just disappear … and I would be left guessing who the culprit could be !
Re: Lunchtime at Work
mon-thurs I take food from home …mostly leftover from dinner
friday - I order a nice meal from outside 
Re: Lunchtime at Work
I buy bread, cheese, lean meats, veggies, oatmeal, spinach, dressings, a few other things and store them at work.
I am in too much of a hurry in the morning so forget my lunch frequently. 
This way, I make my lunches at work fresh and eat them there. I love it.
Re: Lunchtime at Work
Lunch time and I am off to eat the magical curly wurly garlic potato chips :@:
