So I typically make my lunches for the week in a big batch Sunday evening. I'm a pretty good cook and I think I eat pretty well. The biggest downside is that I'm usually eating the same thing all week and it can start getting old come Thursday or Friday. And if what I made isn't all that good it can really suck because I'm not going to waste it.

Anyway, last week I made "Poor Man's Prime Rib." It's actually just a chuck roast cooked sous vide at 132f for 2-3 days, then quickly seared.

Here it is after pulling it from the 132F water bath and searing it using my oven's broiler.

In this image notice how the the doneness is consistent from the center to the very edge. It doesn't have a layer of "overcooked" meat all around the edge. The sear is on;y on the very outside, less than 1mm into the meat.

All sliced up and ready to portion out into individual lunch servings.

Here it is in my lunch containers with some roasted garlic potato and onion.

And now the extra special part. The week before I made this I made some bone broth. This week I used some of the bone broth along with the juices from the roast to make a gravy. This is my lunch smothered in the most delicious gravy I've ever eaten. I really make the roast to go with the gravy, not the other way around.

And if that's not enough, I bought the chuck roast from Costco and they sell them in packs of two, so I have a spare in case of any sort of beef emergency.

I couldn't even begin to want to eat the same thing for lunch every of the week, regardless of how good it is. The thought alone of eating different kinds of sandwiches three days in a row makes me want to throw my lunch away.

Mix the pudding with the cool whip. Chop up the apples and Snickers. Add with grapes to cool whip mixture. Enjoy.


Always a family favorite and the first thing to go at get togethers.

I could eat a sandwich everyday of my life, easily the most diverse category of food.

The problem I have is that I make them at 630 in the morning to eat at lunch. The choices that work in that scenario are limited. I don't have a way to make a decent sandwich that is still edible six hours later.

Meat bread and cheese together. Wet things in a baggie. Some assembly required at lunch time. More or less fresh edible sandwich in a lunch box.

Me, I just take an hour lunch pretty much every day. Go for a little walk, hit a subway or a nice Thai or Pho place. Easy peasy.

That's my problem. After a few days of that same basic recipe, I'm so sick of it I'd rather starve to death. There's only so much of that stuff I can handle. I don't carry a microwave in my truck to heat things up.

Me too. I'd never been a 'sandwiches for lunch' kinda guy. It's either sushi in the park, or Thai, etc... I just liked trying out different things. Work was boring enough for me to just sit in the lunch room with a home made sandwich.
