I love this idea so much I decided we had to do it again.
The challenge is thus:
- 1. Identify your favourite kind of lunch. Dig deep into your memory. Is it soup? Salad? Sandwich? What kind? What gives you the most pleasure? It could be as simple as almond butter with sliced bananas and a tall glass of milk. It could be a spicy soup, a yummy salad, boiled eggs, leafy greens with a thick slice of fresh bread and gooey cheese, whatever, BUT it has to be really really good.
- 2. Pick a day this week that you’re going to make your favourite lunch. If you don’t have a recipe, find one. If you need to marinade something, do it. If there are people in your family who are grouse at the idea of eating goat cheese, ignore them. This lunch is FOR YOU.
- 3. Pick a nice place to eat your lunch. It could be your backyard, a nearby park, or just on your front steps. I know this isn’t easy for everyone (hey, I used to work in an industrial park – I KNOW UGLY), but do try to find the best place possible. If you really want to go the extra mile, pack the good silverware and linens.
- 4. Now this is important. Ignore the world. Chew slowly, and savour every second of your special lunch. You are worth it. You know you are.
I’m going to plan my special lunch for Friday the 19th (I’d love it if you joined me virtually!) but don’t feel like you have to do it on the same day.
If you played along, come back here and tell us what you prepared for yourself. Link to your site if you want. Bonus points for photos and recipes. Lord knows I could use the inspiration! :)
*p.s. if you can’t do it this week, but CAN do it next week, do it! There’s no time limit for your special lunch. (But I still want to hear what you ate and how you treated yourself!)
