I sure do appreciate the four of you who come around each week. Thank you so much for stopping by.
Everyday for the past many, many years, I’ve enjoyed a turkey sandwich for lunch. It’s simple and fairly healthy. However, out of nowhere, I have a strange aversion towards turkey. (No, I’m not pregnant. DON’T EVER THINK THAT AGAIN.) Even on Thanksgiving I could not partake in the poultry side of things, however, I made up for it in mashed potatoes and gravy.
ANYWAY. Lately, I’ve been trying to figure out new things to try for lunch. I have a few requirements: it needs to be easy, tasty and cheap. Last week, I took Anna and Noah to the dentist, interestingly enough, or not at all, I skipped lunch that day because it was so much effort to think of something to eat and also I had a late-morning scone. While they were back getting their teeth cleaned, I smelled something delicious, I looked over and saw the receptionist eating Maruchan noodles. What a smart woman! The smell was divine and they looked so tasty. I realized I was so hungry and went home and ate about 75 Tosititos. (no lie, friends, no lie.)
So, today, whilst grocery shopping, I bought these. Move over, turkey, Mama’s got a new lunch!
Easy? Yep. Pour some hot water and let sit for 3 minutes.
Tasty? Oh, yeah. Have you ever had a bad Maruchan noodle?
Cheap? 23 cents. OH YEAH.
Now, before some of you health nuts start leaving concerned comments, please know that I take my chronic high blood pressure very seriously. I realize the sodium content of these noodles equals that of the weekly recommended amount so, might I recommend cutting the sodium with a cakester:
or
perhaps a gingerbread cookie.
or, you know, maybe both, for good measure.
I feel like I’m saving lives with my health advice today.

Geez, now I am having cookie cravings! *wink*
I have to admit that I did not have turkey either. That’s the whole vegetarian thing though. Love your pictures!
I’m so glad you finally realize that turkey is disgusting.
Wonderful health advice, indeed! I’m not a big fan of turkey either. We always make a ham for Thanksgiving.
you have a great outlook on life thanks for the smile
And turkey has become my new lunch thing. It used to be yogurt. One can only eat so many containers of yogurt though. Although, I did get the Key Lime from the new Oikos Greek yogurt and wow! It’s like eating pudding. So good!
I wanted to comment to let you know that I am one of your regular readers. I just don’t comment often because I don’t play along with your “You Capture” thing. I do enjoy stopping by here
