Banana bread is perfect for breakfast or lunch. It's also a great way to use bananas that are brown and spotty, rather than just throwing them in the garbage. I like to double this recipe and make a big batch on a lazy Sunday afternoon, that way I have a slice for every day of the week. Serve banana bread warm with a pat of butter, or dollop of cream or yogurt.

What's In My Lunchbox? Babybel, Baby!

Ode to a little treat I've been eating for 20 years
Apr 4, 2013 11:31 am

I buy, like, three bags of Babybel cheese at a time. There's still a certain sense of ceremony after all these years, the delight at seeing that one was in my lunchbox, knowing it would be at just the right temperature and 100% perfectly fresh and of course, playtime. Here are some things I did with them as a kid, and a couple of modern applications for a cheese that's really hard to hate.

In honor of the fields of low-hanging fruit we reap today, enjoy my most ridiculous, implausible, inane, rant-tastic and typically at least somewhat offensive What To Eat For Lunches. Not coincidentally, some of my very favorites. 

Lunch In Chinatown: Window Duck Is For Lovers

It might not look romantic, but roast duck slays
Mar 28, 2013 11:31 am

Window duck is my name for the roast ducks hanging in the windows of restaurants in Chinatown. I went on a date last night, the kind I thought you go on when you're fairly to pretty comfortable with the other person. Definitely 10+ dates. Here's how I realized it would make a great first date, and why it's for lunch today. 

I Said Fries! Why Would I Have Ever Said Rice!?

A mixed-up order spawns powerful fry cravings
Mar 27, 2013 11:31 am

Boy, I hope you like inane stories! I came home a very special kind of drunk last Saturday night/Sunday morning, too drunk to obtain fries, apparently. Ready for a half-decent story? More importantly, are you ready to crave fries like you've never craved them before? Cause lunchtime is right around the corner.

Seriously, screw insulated totes. They have no souls.

I continue to fear change. Here are 9 classics that transport me right back to the good old days.
