Lunch in Bed.


I made "lunch in bed" today instead of breakfast. I kept it simple with a toasted pita spread with walnut paté, salad (cucumbers, onions, greek olives, tomato, sumac, lemon juice, olive oil) with a dollop of Vegenaise and half a banana. All with a cup of tea. I really like eating meals in bed. There's something very relaxing and leisurely about it. It makes me slow down and enjoy my food rather than wolf it all down before I head out the door. It also makes me more mindful about my food. So here's to more meals in bed! I'm not planning on anything fancy for dinner tonight. I've got homemade broth bubbling away right now for the ramen noodles that I will have when I get home from work. Noodles have just been hitting the spot lately. This is a short work week for me (I've got Thurs. and Fri. off) so on Thursday I'll go grocery shopping and make something nice. I've been leafing through my Iraqi cookbook and want to make so many things out of it. So we'll see...

Edited to add a picture of my ramen:

This was sooooo filling! That red stuff is Sriracha hot chili sauce.

Hey, Mousie! You like to read Agatha Christie books, too? I just finished Reading "Bertram's Hotel" and "Sleeping Murder" by the late and great A.C.. I am trying to get into the author Dashiell Hammett, and his famous book, The Thin Man. Slow read at the moment, but it will get better in time.


Your breakfast in bed looks wonderful! OoOOOh, you have inspired me, maybe I can get Shannon to cooks something up for me.
