What are you having for lunch today?

I haven't decided yet what my official lunch will be today. Perhaps a Bento Box at my local Japanese restaurant. The other day (a warm day), I invented "tuna delight": canned tuna and canned Mandarin oranges, smothered in Marie's Blue Cheese Dressing. It was perfect for a warm day. What is (or was) on your gustatory agenda for today?

There's always Jack in the Box. Just kidding. I haven't gone there in 30 years.

I actually had my "invention" that you and Maluse teased me about just the other day: noodles with olive oil, grated Parmesan, and a hint of garlic. It's perfect for when I want something simple and easy to make.
