I've been retired since August, 2017, but I used to pack a lunch... same as school days... white bread, heavy mustard both sides, two slices American cheese, and two slices of bologna, a baggie of Lays regular potato chips, and a can of root beer.

EDIT: About every two or three weeks, some work friends and I would go out and get BBQ or Tex Mex at one of the local Mom and Pop places. Sooo Good!

Good stuff, Maynard!

I take mine most of the time, preferably leftovers. I’ll take sandwich stuff, bread, condiments, meat, cheese, peanut butter, and strawberry preserves, and make me a couple of sandwiches. When I was trying hard to lose weight I’d take a Lean Cuisine and heat it in the microwave.

Notable exceptions in our area are Wendy's and Longhorn

Is that Longhorn Steakhouse? Wow, that’s considered high class eating around here!

I got out of the car and stood stiff-legged for what seemed like eternity

My Daddy calls that “TBL”. Total Body Lock....

Retirement food is Drastically Different, Penny enjoys cooking. I enjoy raising livestock to eat & provide dairy for her homemade goodies from our Brown Swiss & Alpine Goats, Black Australorp & Red Sexlink Chickens. Nothing like eggs still warm form the hen needing to be pushed off to collect breakfast, various pork products that have never been shot up with steroids, antibiotics and feed that I know where it came from and whats in it, home fries, OJ, home made cottage cheese with fruit topped off with coffee THATS BREAKFAST BROTHER

Bologna is one of my favorite sandwich meats. Thick sliced with mustard and american cheese. Also will chuck a couple pieces in a frypan for supper on occasion..

We needed to replace our LEM sausage maker, it has several recipes for different types of bologna can't wait to try them out. I prefer a quality meat like Boars Head, Kretshmar, Farmland brands, I made a mistake of going on a tour of Farmer John when I was delivering packing boxes and was delayed. THATS AN EYE OPENING TOUR

Penny makes something she calls Boloney Spread, The way she and her family USE TO EAT IT was sicking to me.

Boloney, sweet pickles, hard boiled eggs, mayo grind it up spread it on bread and have at it. I took mine made a patty of it put a good size gobb of butter in a frypan brown it on both side THEN PUT it on some bread with Dark German Mustard, this thread is making me hungry

9.9/10 I bring lunch. Could be leftovers, a sandwich, canned soup etc. I have excellent eating options but our lunch is early at 11:00, (not many places open yet) and I won’t get in my truck with work clothes on, but I do order out occasionally. Breakfast at 0430 is a small cup of cold cereal, a snack at 0930. I bring a K cup brewed into a hot cup/lid. I like to not bring anything home except maybe a snap ware piece.

I pack a lunch at least 4 days a week and sometimes treat myself out on Friday. Not much of a fan of typical fast food these days except for white castles, Bob Evans and Cincinnati style chili such as Skyline or Gold Star. When on vacation we sometimes seek out the local mom and pop restaurants. If your in Amish country a stop at Der Dutchman is a must.

 

[BigPapa]

Oohhhh.......
He said Skyline Chili. Mmmmmm.......

 

[BIGNASTY]

Ive seen these in Indianapolis at several locations, The one fast food that I will take a chance on is chili & MOST OF ALL CHILI DOGS

Ok I see bigs link. What’s good about it?

 

[Wayne M.]

One fast food thing I’ve discovered that involves chili is that Sonic deal that is a paper tray of tater tots covered with chili. Now THATS trouble.

 

[BIGNASTY]

Portillo's is a place I've stopped for lunch when out. Their chili & chili dogs are very good but the bowl of chili is expensive for the amount you get. Their Italian Beef Sandwiches are good I get them Dry with the beef-dip on the side, if they dip the bread they soak it way to much

Thats a pretty subjective question, what one person likes another turns their nose up at it. Chili cook-offs are Nirvana to me

FYI: Penny's Elk Chili & cornbread is awesome

I’m not a fire alarm guy. I just like a smooth meaty chili. Now, BIG ya gotta tell us about Penny’s cornbread. Does she use cast iron?

 

[BIGNASTY]

HA HA she learned that one from my Mom who used a cast-iron skillet, gets that lite crust all around it cuts it like a pie wedge cut it in half slip some butter ( not margarine ) between halves with a splash of honey to individual taste

 

[Wayne M.]

I do like to make my own cornbread and experiment. I do use a hi side lodge pan, and last thing I tried was minced apples mixed with sugar like a pie filling, and folded into the mix. It was quite good, but I’m a sucker for plain ol 80 grit straight up corn bread. That and a good cup of coffee.

I also don't like it so hot that it could be used to strip paint, but I do like it with a little bite to it. Penny makes chili & soups on cold days that curiously enough coincide with my desire to cut & split wood. She brings it out for a warm-me-up lunch around the barrel fire, with the spice it keeps the inside warm just a little longer.

I don't know what she mixes together for the ingredients, its not the Jiffy mix that I used when I was a bachelor. The best thing she does with cornbread is puts cooked pork sausage in the mix & makes the sausage gravy (like biscuits & gravy) that'll stick too your ribs when running the hills of Montana looking for Elk. (her skillet is about 1.5 to 2" thick bottom to top of the rim)

Without the sausage I like to stuff cornbread into a BIG glass & add some of her Buttermilk THATS AWESOME STUFF RIGHT THERE BROTHER
