The only cheap place to eat near my new job is McDonald's, and having eaten there today, I can now say with certainty that I NEVER WANT TO DO SO AGAIN. So I turn to you, wise flist: can you give me suggestions for cheap, easy lunches I can make and/or bring? The office has a small fridge and a microwave, and nothing else, and I lack both time and culinary skill. But there has to be something besides bad turkey sandwiches (minus the "bad," my dad's suggestion) or yogurt (my mom's). Help?
And now, for a random PSA/in joke:

+And the glorious, glorious promo ads featuring Rodney in an elevator and John giving a lesson at pool: go here, then click the links on the right.
ETA: Even better,
isiscolo pointed out that you can download both promos here. Yays!
My love, it is vast. Oh yes.

Date: 2006-06-30 12:19 am (UTC)I do lots of dinner leftovers for lunch, as well as the common ramen noodles, frozen dinners, and canned soups. But some other things I like:
Wrap sandwiches: your favorite deli meat, veggies, cheese, condiments rolled into a tortilla. Cheap, easy, and you can get pretty inventive.
My favorites are: 1) deli turkey, slices of avocado tossed with a touch of ranch dressing, chopped tomato, and lettuce or alfalfa sprouts wrapped in a tortilla. 2) leftover chicken (Or bought pre-cooked chicken strips), romaine lettuce, and ceasar salad dressing for a chicken ceasar salad wrap. 3) or store bought pesto on turkey or chicken.
Pasta salad: Bowtie pasta, chopped tomatoes, feta cheese tossed with a little vinagrette or pesto and some parmasan cheese. Sometimes I add marinated artichoke hearts. Yummy and quick.
Black beans and rice. Easy to make and doesn't spoil.
