I was there at 7am for those photos and it was worth it. I know the feeling of being stuck in a rut but it's hard to find a tasty quick alternative; omelettes are a favourite of mine and I've been trying out a few frittata recipes too which are nice.<br />@Hila - In an ideal world, I could come home for lunch every day. If I eat too much though I feel tired all afternoon so maybe it's beeter not to have too much time.<br />@Mathilda - Thanks for your comment, it's always nice to have new readers. I've often dreamed of going to Tokyo so I'll be sure to check our your blog.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-1428884304677290732011-11-14T06:36:08.514-08:002011-11-14T06:36:08.514-08:00I just met your blog and so happy of it !

When I eat out, I tend to order omelets. <br />Unfortunately, I don't care for canned tuna at all. <br />(Love those healthy apple muffins!)Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038190964528332030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-4470836319029109952011-11-13T02:37:12.272-08:002011-11-13T02:37:12.272-08:00I was sure you'd have some lovely lunch ideas ...I was sure you'd have some lovely lunch ideas as charming as your writing.

I also struggle to find more than 20 minutes some days so like to treat myself when possible.<br />@P.K - I'm sure you make wonderful sandwiches and am sure you could inspire me to make them interesting. Will try the salads with seeds too.<br />@Lecia - I'm sure it would go down well with your family or make a simple winter lunch for one on those cold days.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-40575779888859540922011-11-11T20:59:18.716-08:002011-11-11T20:59:18.716-08:00I'm sure I would love this.I'm sure I would love this.Leciawphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10387890066375679646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-51160291248038926072011-11-11T14:30:15.213-08:002011-11-11T14:30:15.213-08:00Lovely dish, and those muffins, perfect for a tea ...Lovely dish, and those muffins, perfect for a tea break.

Je suis contente de ne pas être le seule à ne pas manger les sandwiches tous les jours et la cantine, c'est trop déprimant.<br />@Rosa - It must be nice for you to have someone to cook for. I enjoy preparing dinners for one but sometimes miss sharing food with others.<br />@Monica - Tuna mayo is a favourite of mine and normally what I choose for sandwiches. You can definitely add some dried or fresh herbs to the sauce and in fact I'm going to do that next time myself so thanks for the idea. You're so right about salads being a perfect lunch and as light or heavy as you wish. I saw a salad carrier for the office advertised here with the dreessing in the lid and the main part which keeps the salad crsip for hours. I must get one for next year.<br />@Tracy - Another tinned fish fan, that's nice to hear. You must have some awesome pasta recipes which would be great for lunch so I'll be checking out the archives. Adding eggs to dishes also sounds wonderful, I love fried ones. Muffins are so nice as a treat; I'm planning on making some gingerbread ones for Christmas morning.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-38306924541746163522011-11-10T10:34:17.323-08:002011-11-10T10:34:17.323-08:00Tinned fish—I love tinned fish.
