You lunch sounds delicious and very good for you at the same time.DayDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517611801605384353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855619083727219304.post-61785214660623334012014-04-07T23:28:12.177+01:002014-04-07T23:28:12.177+01:00Oh, to eat this way (and shop this way) sounds won...Oh, to eat this way (and shop this way) sounds wonderful! But as I was reading, I kept wondering how I would manage to find the time to cook. I work as a teacher, and even though I live close to school, putting together a daily meal for lunch would be a challenge. (I would love a long lunch break!)<br /><br />Oh, to have hired help, right? Or be able to stay home full-time.<br /><br />Thanks for the post. For lunch I usually eat a spinach salad (olive oil/balsamic vinegar) with meat (tuna or chicken), nuts, cheese, and a sliced apple.<br /><br />Not a typical American lunch, but I'm trying to eat well.<br /><br />:) LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855619083727219304.post-29233630105670767242014-04-07T23:20:48.080+01:002014-04-07T23:20:48.080+01:00I would enjoy all the fresh food.

Hmm, not me though.DayDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517611801605384353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855619083727219304.post-72027800165354297672014-04-07T20:27:39.994+01:002014-04-07T20:27:39.994+01:00I remember ordering shrimp scampi or something lik...I remember ordering shrimp scampi or something like that in Rome. The restaurant was beautiful and a bit upscale. The bowl that I received had pasta on the bottom, an aromatic red sauce on top and then large prawns with their feelers and heads still attached. I couldn't eat it so I just moved their poor, cooked bodies aside and ate the pasta. Guess I'm too used to the Americanized shrimp with no heads or shells and plenty of batter. Enjoyed the rest of my trip in Italy very much, though! Gorgeous countryside, tasty food and friendly folks! www.dianeweidenbenner.com also doing the A-Z blog!Dihiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15246560909358107890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855619083727219304.post-27761376653559610692014-04-07T19:58:00.587+01:002014-04-07T19:58:00.587+01:00I'd love to be able to eat this way, but someh...I'd love to be able to eat this way, but somehow our society isn't geared up to having a long, leisurely lunch. I'm lucky if I manage to grab something to eat at my desk before 3pm most days....Kate Larkindalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202347563426692610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855619083727219304.post-25510685541601850702014-04-07T19:33:24.840+01:002014-04-07T19:33:24.840+01:00Great blog!
