I don't go to those places. I hardly eat at restaurants at all. I do some drinking at one restaurant and bar downtown though. Thing is though, some place as gross as McDonald's is actually in all likelihood a lot more sanitary than say, a Chili's or an Outback Steakhouse. I can say that for it.
Breakfast is oftentimes a little old fashioned style oatmeal and some fruit on the side, usually grapefruit. Sometimes I'll eat Total Raisin Bran. Or eggs done up. Any pork for breakfast is a blue moon affair. And as the case with some of you probably, sometimes breakfast never really comes together to happen.
Which is really a shame and backwards, but, oh well.
A lunch for me might be sandwiches of turkey, roast beef, or tuna/chicken/or shrimp salad with lettuce, grape tomato and a little dill relish with some spicy mustard on whole wheat. Or it might be a salad with creamy caesar or creamy balsamic. Sometimes it's homemade split-pea, black bean, cream of mushroom or broccoli (it's what you do with the thick stalk) soup.
Or it might be some black beans that are already done and then mashed into paste and put on pitas with L, T, maybe O, and a little assorted shredded cheese. Every once in awhile I'll have the mashed beans (chili, red, or black usually) as a dip with tortilla chips.
For dinner I might have rice in various ways. With some cajun-seasoned catfish (usually, or it's smoked salmon) and sauteed mushrooms (sometimes other veggies). ...Or with just steamed broccoli and soy sauce, maybe a drizzle of Sriracha sauce...a gumbo when I'm up for it...it just depends. Sometimes I do the pasta base instead of rice. Lately, I haven't been buying Rib Eyes like I used to, and having them with a baked potato or other vegetables. If I do chicken, I buy the cold, whole pre-cooked rotisserie ones from the grocery store deli that are marked down from 6.99 to 2.99. I can pull from the bird and make chicken salad sandwiches, or I can heat it up in a baking pan. Usually though, if I'm having chicken for dinner, I'll just put some cold rotisserie chicken pieces in with the rice as it cooks, which is same way I steam the broccoli, cauliflower, or what have you.
