Food advice

Hello everyone! Today I am soliciting for help in recipe ideas.

Now that my day-to-day life has a predictable schedule (unlike during school), I find myself running out of good vegetarian lunch ideas that don't get boring. The requirements for lunch have to be that I can bring it to work and eat it cold or reheat in a microwave (no toaster oven).

Here are some of my repeat offenders for lunches I make:
- veggie sandwiches, with chips
- pasta of all sorts
- stir-fry with couscous/quinoa
- veggie tacos
- risotto
- polenta

I usually try to bring greek yogurt & granola and fruit every day, to make sure I'm eating some protein and fruit.

I love tofu and soy-products, and will eat almost any vegetable (don't like beets, zucchini, eggplant or red peppers that much).

Does anyone have any suggestions on lunch-friendly meals I can take to work daily? (preferably something that isn't in my list above, but those are ok too!) I usually make a big meal on Sunday and then bring it in until it runs out, so I'm ok with eating something a few days in a row. I sometimes will make lunch in morning daily (like sandwiches) so that's ok too.

Any suggestions are appreciated :)

Rush

I know I haven't posted here in forever. I promise I will update this soon.

Right now I just got back from a Rush concert and it was so heartbreakingly beautiful that I had to spew my overwhelming happiness to the internet at large. :') That's a smiley face that's crying with joy.

Geddy, Neil, and Alex will forever have my heart.

Quote of the Day (WARNING nerd jokes)

Jesse: :D The question is, are you cool because you are having startrek marathon, or or you having a startrek marathon because you're cool?
 me: both, at once
  I'm commutative!
18:40 Jesse: Baby, I'd like to distribute myself in your parentheses
 me: Bet you'd like to be my commutator?
18:41 sorry, Jesse, we're only Hermitian operators, the two of us
  you'll never be anything but a fermion to me, we just can't occupy the same state
18:42 Jesse: :(
 me: maybe if you try hard enough, you can tunnel through....
18:43 I'm waiting for you, just outside the finite well!
18:44 Jesse: Baby, I know you'd like to know which slit I came through, but you just can't
18:45 me: Oh, Jesse. I have to know! Are you attracted to waves or particles?!
 Jesse: I go both ways, I have a wavicle fetish
18:47 me: Yikes, did someone says Thomas Young? It's getting a bit hot in here...
18:51 I might start emitting soon!   Jesse recently reminded me of this exchange we had on 2012's New Year's Eve. DID SOMEONE SAY DORKS?

Song of the Day

I'm wondering, if you read that story too?
And if we both might
be having
the same
imaginary conversation

Four
three
two
one
I'm letting you go

I
will
let
go
if you will let go

Laughs from the Past

Before I left Indiana, I pell-mell packed things that were (are) still at my Mom's house and not with me at college. Apparently I brought some old journals here to Baltimore with me. When I say old, I mean from when I was 8/9 years old. This is just absolute gold. Here are some excerpt from my school journal. I remember we had to often write about what we did the previous day or answer prompts that were on the blackboard.

9/11/00
To clean our room, make our beds, do our jobs, and do our homework.
I don't like to clean our room, do our jobs, and doing homework.
They're not fun.

9/25/00
I would go to the year 1. I want to because I want to see what life was like with the dinosaurs and what it's like to be the only person around.

1/4/01
Had a friend spend the night
Opened my new present- shirt
Liked the holidays
I went to a ballet
Dreamed
Ate a christmas dinner
Yelled at my sister

2/21/01
I'm good at piano. I'm good at Spelling. I'm good at school.

4/30/01
Slept in
Ate spaggetie
Told my sister to leave me alone
Used the computer
Read a book
Drew a picture
Ate pizza
Yelled at someone

So, what can we take away from this? Well, first of all I really like acronyms, despite saying I was good at Spelling, I clearly was not, and also that I yell at my sister a lot (we did yell a lot, didn't we Bekah?)
:)
