What are you eating/drinking right now?

[Logos]

Ok so are some of you as bad as me?
eating at the keyboard?
right now I'm having lunch, toasted sammich with tomato--fresh from my garden!, with garlic aioli, and lemonade :D

[papayahed]

Yep, I'm eating at my keyboard. I brought in a buffalo chicken salad but I had to run up to the store during lunch and the chicken tender lunch special caught my eye. I'm having chicken tenders with a side of mac and cheese and a nectarine.

[pqb57]

Just got home from work and I am going out in the yard and have a couple Molson Canadians.

[Jay]

.Cherries.

[Idril]

I'm drinking a black cherry flavored propel and eating a couple pieces of wasa bread, the oat kind with a little pesto hummus spread on top...very good!

[RJbibliophil]

Am getting hungry so I am sipping air

[vheissu]

Ginger ale!!

[grace86]

I am thinking that everyone pretty much eats at the keyboard ('cept my fiance and he is a computer tech)

Well, I have mayonnaise covered hands typing. I am drinking (switching) between a strawberry mango smoothie and a coca cola.

We're all bad, gumming up the keys and spilling and crumb making.

[RJbibliophil]

spaghetti, because that is what I had for dinner, and I keep nibbling on those little worms....

[thevintagepiper]

Salad from dinner.....now I'm going to dish up some ice cream...want some, anyone?

[Idril]

It's not just me that I have to worry about, I'm a pretty neat eater, it's my kids! The worst is my youngest, who's favorite snack is...raw oatmeal! And you would not believe how messy that kid is when he eats. I'm picking out oatmeal from the keyboard for days after he's been in here with it, which, incidentally, he knows he's not supposed to be but he still manages to sneak it in here once in a while. :rolleyes:

[Haler]

Salad: Romaine, red onions, tomatoes, croutons and Ken's Ginger Sesame dressing...it's dinner, maybe I'll have some vanilla ice cream later just to cancel out the veggies. I swear I'm not copying you, thevp.

[Madhuri]

I am having tea and some sweets (mithai), adding much needed calories.

Heck that's easy to clean up, may I suggest a can of Falcon's® Professional Dust-Off® compressed air :lol:

It's the greasy sticky stuff like smeared salad dressing, semi-dried ice cream, and gummy fruit juice that's harder to clean up. My favourite cleaning weapons for that are wet naps, q-tips and vinegar :)

I have a geek friend who won't go near my keyboard because they think its shameful to eat while surfing. haha!

I'm eating sour jubes and they leave a greasy film on your fingers!

[kathycf]

You mean there are actually people out there who don't eat while using the computer??? Shocking! :brow: :brow: :p

Just for that I am going to make some popcorn with tons of butter and salt and drink some soda, too. (I like Diet Coke, not because it is diet---though that should be the reason given my pant's size...nope, I like it because it isn't syrupy sweet like regular Coke. Now I am sure that is a fascinating piece of trivia! :D )

[WhimsySA]

I'm eating chips!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

[miss tenderness]

I'm eating chips too :)

[Nightshade]

Coco pops and the rest of my big bar of Cooking cholclate that I forgot by the keyboard last night.

[thevintagepiper]

Chocolate chip cookies....

Little Caesar's Breadsticks mmmm

[mono]

I usually try not to eat around my computer (especially my laptop), never risking my occasional clumsiness. Regardless, at the moment, I have a nice cup of coffee - Stumptown brand (yum!) - slightly more expensive, but when coffee seems as essential as oxygen, I will pay a greater price! :D

[kathycf]

but when coffee seems as essential as oxygen, I will pay a greater price! :D

Heh, sounds like me. In coffee, you do seem to get what you pay for...

Right now I am having an iced coffee that tastes much better than anything I could make at home (even with the nice coffee I have :brow: )

[literaturerocks]

im just drinking water :)

[Idril]

Pumpkin seeds and coke...life is good! :D

[ktd222]

Starbucks Icecream with a can of coke. Oh man...this is not a tasty combination!

[Manfred]

Coffee; I always suck down tons of coffee at the computer--with cigarette chasers.
I know, politically incorect; too bad for you who would run the lives of others.

[Idril]

Starbucks Icecream with a can of coke. Oh man...this is not a tasty combination!

I remember when I was a kid, I used to add milk to my pepsi, I claimed it tasted just like a float but now when I think of it, it just sounds disgusting, much like starbucks ice cream and a coke. ;)

I'm drinking some licorice coffee, even though it's supposed to be something crazy like 108 degrees today but it's only 75 this morning so it doesn't seem quite so wrong yet.

[Logos]

Coffee; I always suck down tons of coffee at the computer--with cigarette chasers.
Some of us can't wake up any other way! :banana:
coke--> ice cream/milk, yeah, doesn't sound too palatable, and what the heck is licorice coffee? that sounds like a very odd combo too.. :eek: the only thing I add to my coffee sometimes is chocolate or cinnamon.

It is so hot and humid here I'm only drinking water with lemon because I think I will be sick if I eat anything :sick:

[Idril]

... and what the heck is licorice coffee? that sounds like a very odd combo too.. :eek: the only thing I add to my coffee sometimes is chocolate or cinnamon.



It's black licorice flavored coffee, the beans are flavored, I don't have to add anything. I used to be able to get it at a local coffee shop but they stopped carrying it so now I have to order it from the internet but this stuff isn't nearly as licorice..y and I'm a little disappointed. I love anything with the flavor of black licorice, an aberration I inherited from my dad. ;)

[kathycf]

Oh my, licorice flavored coffee? *shudder* I cannot bear flavored coffee, just cream and sugar for me. :brow: Although I do love iced coffee, which some coffee purists may frown on because it isn't served piping hot. I just finished my coffee and seeing as I have been up for several hours and haven't eaten yet...it is time for cherries! Only in season for a little while --at least here in Massachusetts--where by the way,it is also hot and humid, just like where you guys are ;) .

Cherries, hooray! :lol:

[Madhuri]

it is so hot.....I can have some water

[Idril]

Oh my, licorice flavored coffee? *shudder* I cannot bear flavored coffee, just cream and sugar for me.

Now see, I don't care for cream and sugar but I loved flavored coffee. Right now in my fridge, I have almond amaretto, emerald cream, the licorice of course and some kind of vanilla nut thing that I don't actually much care for but the others I love and I just finished off a pound of a coconut/madacamia coffee that is incredible. My dad is like you though, he hates flavored coffees so whenever he and my mom come for a visit, it's just plain old foldgers...well...not actually Foldgers but you know what I mean. :rolleyes:

And right now I'm eating peanut M&Ms and as usual, a coke.

[mono]

A cup of yummy jasmine tea. :nod:

[kathycf]

Mmm, now if I could get the peanut M & Ms and a cup of jasmine tea, I would be in business. Although I cannot complain too much, I just ate a "clif" bar...a protein bar with organic ingredients. This particular one is the chocolate almond fudge flavor. Nice!

[Madhuri]

Water. In the last one hour I drank almost 1 litre water.....feeling cool now.........

[amanda_isabel]

a cup of cranberry tea already gone cold..

[mono]

A yummy nonfat raspberry latte, and a blueberry muffin (at a coffeehouse right now :D).

[Nightshade]

Do they have computers in coffee houses in the US??
I made myself a cup of tea but I seem to have misplaced it :(!

[Idril]

Do they have computers in coffee houses in the US??


Yes, they do. Not all coffee houses have them of course but a good portion of them do.

And it's now 7:08 am and I'm drinking a coke...I think I may have a problem. :rolleyes: ;)

[kathycf]

And it's now 7:08 am and I'm drinking a coke...I think I may have a problem.

I have known people who drink soda such as Coke or Pepsi in the morning. As long as you don't put milk in it eh? ;) :p
That reminded me of Laverne from Laverne and Shirleyand how her favorite drink was milk and Pepsi. :D

Right now I am having a lovely cup of coffee.

[mono]

Do they have computers in coffee houses in the US??
Some do, yes, and we often call them 'cyber cafes;' I just have my laptop (a recent graduation present), and visit this coffeehouse very, very frequently, and I might as well take advantage of the free wireless Internet. :D

Anyway, I eat or drink nothing right now, but I just finished some chai. ;)

Liver and Onions...*shudder* My father likes that sort of swill, though he generally has good taste in food otherwise. I myself sometimes enjoy a peanut butter and bread and butter pickles w/ toasted wheat bread sandwich. Yummy!.

Right now I am drinking lots of water because I was outside too long. Hot!

Oh dear. I probably shouldn't mention that that's a favored food here in Vienna. And that it tastes good? No. Not going to mention that.

You're right about E-coli, it's them ! :flare: They have started to chlorinate the water, and it should be okay in a couple of days (or so they say...)
The water source is local ground water, as far as I know. I heard that something is wrong with an UV-device that is used to purify the water of certain undesirable bacteria. But now E-coli is developing, is that logical :confused: ?
But hey, in case you're an expert, feel to come to fix it, you'd be the hero of a whole village :D

Yeah e-coli is a huge problem. If the UV disinfection device isnt working you'll get a lot more than just e-coli in your water. The chlorination process should fix things up pretty quickly, however with this being the second outbreak in such a short period of time they should go to strict continuous chlorine treatment and residual monitoring until the UV channel problem can be adequately fixed.

Hmmm, I don't know how to describe/translate Halwa. Well, batter pudding will be the best word for it, I think.

On the other hand, Poori is a round bread made up of refined flour. It's really tasy! :)

And mind me that Halwa Poori makes for a wonderful breakfast! :D

Licorice spice tea

rajma n rice (its dinner time!)

[Nightshade]

dry roast peanuts and red squash ( juice that is)

[Sarka]

Sounds good...
I just swallowed a B-vitamin pill (those things are enormous and taste like pee, but they're good for one and prevent one from being crabby) with warm orange juice.
*shudders*:sick:

[aeroport]

Warm orange juice? Oh my...
I am drinking a glass of Mountain Dew. After finally "kicking the habit" over the summer, I fear I'm back to it again.

[Logos]

(giant) oreo cookie ice cream sandwich :D

[Idril]

Beer nuts and a coke

Diet Coke...

Rooibos-cinnamon tea and pear slices (random combination, I know :p) . . .

[kathycf]

a brownie sundae...in direct contradiction to my earlier Diet Coke...

[Idril]

Yes, but the calories you saved from drinking the diet coke allowed you to splurge on the brownie sundae so you don't have to feel guilty about it. ;)

[apple jiang]

one piece of bread,tastes good!

[thevintagepiper]

A big spoonful of Nutkoa chocolate spread :D ...almost as good as nutella!

[Shannanigan]

Idril, I admire your logic. :p :thumbs_up

I'm eating two tic-tacs :D lol

An oddly-mixed caesar salad I made (a bit of a garden-caesar mix) and some mushroom pasta . . .

Phulliyan :)

Phulliyan :)

What's that, Pensy ? Sounds interesting :D

I'm finally having a glass of water, pure water ! Lovely :D The gathered assembly of all available water engineers in the region have finally succeeded in winning the palm over the nasty e-coli that had already built large colonies in the ground water system of my village.

[Idril]

Idril, I admire your logic. :p :thumbs_up


Oh, I'm filled with that kind of wisdom! I can rationalize anything, like right now, I'm having a pop tart and a coke and I've decided that the pop tart is ok because I haven't had any fruit today and the stuff inside a pop tart is almost like fruit.:D

Hmmm, phulliyan can be reffered to as "dried fluffy rice" :) Lovely, they are!

[Madhuri]

You mean puffed rice. It is tasty and when you mix chopped onions and chillies to it, it tastes even better, something like bhel-poori.

you are awesome. I want to go on an "Idril Diet"

I'm drinking just water, as usual...my computer is in my dorm, and I eat in the cafeteria, and the only other time im on is when I'm at work, and there's no food allowed in our tutoring office, lol...

[Koa]

A nice bottle of fresh water, as usual. I'm addicted to water, I even think it tastes good LOL... that's my favourite drink ever :D

I am eating Fruit Yougart for the first time.

[Scheherazade]

I am eating Fruit Yougart for the first time.I cannot stand fruit yoghurt. Yoghurt is supposed to be a little on the sour side; not sweet with lots of fruit pieces swimming inside!

As for me, having a spicy tuna sandwich with lots of vegetables.

I agree with you that the sour yoghurt simple one, in our language, which is called "Dehi" is better than this sweet yoghurt. I usually eat Dehi and it was the first time I tasted this sweet one and it can't be mixed with anything else, while on the other hand, Dehi looks amazingly good with rice.

[Madhuri]

ya, do you know raita that can be made from dahi? I like the boondi raita.

As of now I am having namkeen and tea.

Yes, my mother is very much fond of raita as well.

Well, that diet does catch up with you after awhile. I've always been the kind of person everybody hates, the kind of person who can eat anything they want, no matter how much or what and not gain a pound but then you hit your mid 30's and everything changes and now I have to change a life-time of eating habits. I don't always do too well...as you can see but then I go through periods where I do better so I figure it all balances out some how. :lol:

[vheissu]

Espresso, which I made with my new tiny espresso maker. It came out too strong....:(

I am eating Sohan Halwa at this moment. I like this Halwa a lot. Though, doctors have forbidden me to eat it, but still, I can't resist it.

[Chava]

pancakes, my mothers style - very nice!

[Idril]

Big Red Sun tea, "A black tea blend of Ceylon and African teas". It's very good and I'm drinking it in my troll cup my brother brought back from Norway which makes it extra special. :D

[Pensive]

Vegetable Soup Drink.

[Idril]

A sunbutter sandwich, like peanut butter but made with sunflower seeds. It has a heavier taste but I've grown to perfer it to peanut butter.

[serafina]

Chilean Chardonnay and white chocolate. Yummy.

Great quote from Orwell there - I wish that people realized that people have the right to say things that are unpopular - often their responsibility.
