In other news, I have been meaning to write about my lunches. Yes, it's lame. But I've been stoked about my Tiffin container lunches. I made a menu for the first time that includes some pretty tasty dishes thus far. The last trip to the grocery store, I spent pretty much digging up items that would work well in my lunch. Here's a picture of quesadillas made with tuna, cheese, red bell pepper, onion and spices. In the bowl is a tomato and peach salad that is awesome! I would have never thought to put peaches and tomatoes in the same dish to make a really fresh, delicious, somewhat sweet and savory salad! The recipe calls for deseeding tomatoes, slicing them and tossing into a bowl with peaches. Toss in cilantro, onion (it says red, but I just used yellow), olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

This week I've already had chop suey (leftovers from Sunday night dinner), tuna quesadillas, and curried egg salad rolls. Tomorrow, I have cold peanut noodles on tap, followed by roast beef and bleu cheese roll sandwiches on Friday. I'm not sure I'll go with the curried egg salad in the future, just because despite my refrigeration efforts at home and at work, I still had to carry my container with me all day and it didn't stay cold. The quesadillas also need a little work since they got a little soggy in the canister. I'm thinking to make them the night before and put them in the fridge so they get nice and cold. Without the little heat still on them from the pan, they may stay crisper.
