Thursday: Lunch for Dinner


Chef’s Notes: So every day I pack a lunch for SmithCale and me. Most of my fellow workers eat out, so I usually just tag along with my lunchbox in tow. I’m working currently in a VERY small town with only 3-4 restaurants, all local.

One pizza place recently opened and I had noticed that they looked great. We decided to lunch later that day, and the owner and his manager were the only ones there and we got into a conversation about artichokes.

Then they told us about how they switched from ordered beef and sausage made of TVP (a vegetarian substitute) to the real deal and how people complained! They actually wanted the one made out of NO meat whatsoever!

So they had won me over! They make everything from scratch and from wholesome ingredients, people after my own heart.

That night at dinner, I told SmithCale about the pizza people and agreed that I needed to try one of their pizzas. I had my chance on Thursday, and ordered a veggie pizza and brought ½ home for SmithCale. Meanwhile I ate what I had packed for my original lunch.

So you can see what I ate for lunch, and what I usually eat for lunch!

And if you ever find yourself in San Augustine, try out Zippy’s!
