For lunch I made myself a [very] large garden salad.  I do not like salad, but am forcing myself to eat it. 

I'm sitting at the computer and realize halfway through the salad that I'm actually browsing through the "Share a Recipe" forum commenting on how good everything sounds.  Yup - living vicariously I guess.

 Oh you are better than I am, then!!  That would be pure torture for me!

 I so agree i don't eat anything green never have

 I try, but it usually doesn't go well.  After this I'll probably snag some dark chocolate from our pantry, have peppermint stick ice cream, and then get a SB latte when I go grocery shopping.  No idea why I bother with the salads.

 I'm hungry, too.  And I think I hear a drive thru calling my name!!!

 You are doing better than I -- I cant do salad -- just cant!! But I did only have a samll soup for lunch and a ricecake with turkey for breakfast-- but I bet dh ruins it and orders pizza for dinner--it is Friday

 hmmm, I'd be satisfied with food period!  Been siting here waiting for cable to show up since 1; they are coming between 1-5.  I am kinda playing on the computer while I am waiting, dusting, straightening things, but i DON'T WANT TO REALLY (sorry for the caps lock, keep bumping it) get into anything because the minute I really get busy, he will show up, banging at the door and it will be a mad rush to get the dogs out on the back porch.  I have to worry about Mack, he's a runner and I live on a highway.  So, I just kinda kept myself busy here today, didn't eat a darn thing!  Now its getting too close to dinnertime to eat....      

 I had a Diet Coke and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. 

 I just microwaved a chicken breast for lunch.

Man, I so want to go take a swing thru the Dairy Queen drive thru and get at peanut buster parfait!!!

I eat salad for lunch when I'm at work almost everyday from this little place in the building. I love the balsamic basil dressing they make fresh. I'm trying to cox them into selling me bottles of the dressing.

 lol... I was thinking when I read that subject line.... "me too!"
Salad sucks. I eat it because its healthy not really because I like it. Everything that tastes good is bad for you. How unfair. 

I love salads. My son had jaw surgery (both) and his mouth is banded shut so I have just been eating salads. The more stuff in it the better--like eggs, picked beets, cubes of turkey, etc.

That's funny - I did the same thing recently! 

We were at this vineyard doing a wine tasting & got the cheese/cracker plate.  It came with this olive [spread] of some sort.  Usually I'm not a big fan of olives, but the owner's dh had made it and she was the one doing the tasting for us.  OMGosh - it was like the best thing I had ever had.  I asked if they sold it and she was like, well...no, but my husband is a chef and I guess we could sell you a small container of it.  Later I was telling one of my friends about it b/c I thought it was funny and she said that the guy is a FAMOUS chef and is actually on TV.  I'll have to google him. 

 I had a chicken caesar salad for lunch today, one of my favorites.

 well I do like salad but when I am being good and trying not to eat the good stuff or to lose pounds which is almost all the time now,  salad doesnt usually appeal to me either.  sigh
