I feel like eating lunch out. Where should I go?

[Critters2]

My assistant is on vacation, so the office is eerily quiet. The beagle is driving me nuts--there's a groundhog in her hole. Long story. I'm going to do sermon work all afternoon. I could use a nice lunch with someone else doin' the cookin' while I peruse my newspaper.

So, DU what kind of restaurant should I choose?

TIA


edit for spelling

[pagerbear]

1. Olive Garden?

[Critters2]

8. Don't have one. But a couple of good local Italian places

Cuz we have good local Italians :)

[taterguy]

2. Korean barbeque

[Critters2]

10. Hmmm....Korean. A good thought

I was considering Chinese, but...

3. Pull a Costanza

take a nap under your desk.

Look people let's be honest-we need siestas

[Critters2]

6. I don't have a supervisor. I could actually go home and take a nap

and no one would be the wiser. We clergy refer to this as "working at home" ;)

9. Oh man I think you just blew it

No supervisor??? (looks up) :scared:

[Critters2]

11. Good point. What was I thinking?!!

Umm..no human supervisor. :scared:




I always say it's like farming. There are certain things that must be done by naturally set deadlines. For instance, my sermon needs to be done by 10 am Sunday, or else. But it doesn't have to be written between 9-5 or 8-4. Hospital visiting needs to be done during, well, hospital visiting hours. And I try to be in the office when my assistant is, in case she has any questions about anything.

But yes, other than that, it's just the big eye in the sky. Or, as I like to say, "Jesus is coming.
Look busy."

4. Personally I could go for a nice big hamburger

I have some bacon cheddar burgers in the fridge, and I may just have one right now (after grilling it, of course).

5. Mexican/Peruvian chicken

w/fried yucca.
Although that might be tough to eat while trying to read the paper.

7. I should've mentioned the veg thing.

But there's a good Mex place within walking distance with a whole veg menu section. Good idea!!

[TommyO]

12. In that case, substitute my big burger idea

with Morningstar Grillers Prime, my favorite veggie burger!

[Critters2]

13. Mine too. Grillers are the best!! nt

[seemunkee]

15. Beans and rice, yucca, plantains

A bit less messy anyway.

[Critters2]

17. That actually sounds very good.

I'm doin' Mexican. Thanks!!

14. You and lunch should go someplace private for that.

Sorry.

[Critters2]

16. I deserved that.

Clear syntax is one's friend.

18. It's my husband's fault.

I never would have read it that way before I was corrupted by him. He can make an innuendo out of anything.

19. barbeque

pork

cole slaw

potato salad

beans

beer
