What do you have for lunch?

I am crazy over salads! At work I make them with gusto. I rarely go out to eat during lunch breaks, instead, I bring food from home and buy the rest of the salad ingredients at a nearby supermarket.


Tomatoes, capers, marinated artichokes, Italian salametto dried sausage, green olives, cucumber, above heaps of rucola leaves. The only ingredient lacking here are cheese flakes, either grana padano or parmigiano reggiano.

In my previous job, the office was nestled in between the flower fields of North Holland and the nearest supermarket is a 30 minute walk. Because of this we have our own cafeteria and exclusive cook. During winter, and to carry us throughout the cold grey day, the cook would fix us rich and filling types of warm food - soup, uitsmijter, and nasi.

I’d like to blame the cook. That was the start of my inevitable struggle with the weighing scale, which up to this day continues to be a big challenge. Why oh why is eating such a hard habit to break?

*sigh*

Tomorrow Saturday I am going to buy a pair of trainers and start my long due briskwalking.
