“Hey, Sasha, mind if I eat with you?” Connie asked the girl, and when she nodded, he placed his plate next to hers and sat to her side. He smiled at her, watching as she eagerly munched on her food.
He tried asking her a few questions, but if she couldn’t answer by nodding or shaking her head, she wouldn’t be bothered, as it was time wasted not eating. When he figured that out, he decided to just talk about their training.
He explained with keen details how well he’d done on that day’s practise just by following Jean and beating him to the mark. By the time he was going to describe in ample detail how he’d torn through the flesh of the pretend Titan, she’d finished eating.
She stared at his plate, noticing that he’d barely even tried it.
“Are you going to eat that?” Sasha asked, her tongue discreetly licking her upper lip.
“Huh?” When Connie realised he’d been interrupted, he blushed. “Yeah, but uh… you can have some of it if you’d like.”
“Sweet!” She answered, stuffing her mouth with a loaded forkful which she’d filled before he’d even finished speaking.
He couldn’t help but smile as she cheekily grabbed his half-eaten bread and rammed it into her mouth.
When they had both finished his meal, he noticed there were barely no people left. Connie was about to bashfully thank her for eating with him when she leaned in, her eyes wide.
“There’s still sauce on your mouth!” She spoke, her eyebrows raised. She pressed her lips on his quickly and licked it off carefully before pulling away and smiling at him.
“Well, thanks for the meal!” Sasha grinned, getting up and strolling off, leaving behind a very red and flustered Connie, who could only stare at her in utter astonishment.
‘Was that a kiss!?’ He screamed inside his mind, his hands trailing slowly over his mouth, where the feeling of her lips still lingered. ‘Did she just kiss me!?’
Today’s shared lunch is the “Bond, James Bond” edition.
I’m finishing off the cheesy buns in the cupboard before they go stale. Mapledale old cheddar cheese, slices of ham, smoked chicken, smoked turkey, with lettuce and a squirt of garlic-Parmesan mayo on top. One of these buns are too much lunch, so I cut it in half to share with Rosie. The olives are just on my plate as Rosie doesn’t like them. We have lots of fixings so I can make one for you, if you’d like.
The morning was spent looking at the Tragically Hip songs on my iPad, making corrections and adding charts I was missing. You never know when someone will request something other than “Courage”, “New Orleans Is Sinking”, “Wheat Kings”, or “Bobcaygeon”. “Little Bones”, “Blow At High Dough” and a few others got added and played to check the accuracy of the chord charts.
On a discussion forum I follow, the Tragically Hip song “Bobcaygeon” was mentioned and it was asked if the song was inspired by real events. A number of folks chimed in that it was based on a real event, a skinhead/antisemetic riot that broke out one night at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was asked if the bar actually had a “checkerboard floor”, and I just had to reply with a picture of me lying on the floor.

The picture was taken a couple of years ago when a band I play bass for, The Rewynds, played backup for a friend from Ottawa that had a mid week gig. We didn’t get paid for playing but we were happy to be able to help out a friend. We also get to officially go on the record as having played at the much storied downtown venue.
Look it up. Anyone who's anyone in the Canadian music scene has played the Horseshoe at one time or another.
Stay safe, be willing to share the bounties and gift’s you’ve been blessed with, and don’t be afraid to do something out of the ordinary, just for the bragging rights. You won’t have stories of adventure to share if you don’t.
Welcome to Shared Lunch V2.0 - 006 - Father’s Day edition
For today’s lunch, I made Rosie a perfect two poached eggs on toast. I’m having leftovers, but the eggs are out, and I can cook some for you any way you’d like.
And toast as well, there has to be toast with your eggs.
It’s been a quiet day. I spent the morning doing a bit of computer consulting over the phone, kicking off my main system’s weekly backup, quench hardening threads on speaker stand bolts and repairing a friend's 1/4 inch guitar patch cable, all while listening to an audiobook “The Martian” by Andy Weir, read by Wil Wheaton. Normally, I’d be listening to blogs off YouTube while I putter about, but I’ve really been enjoying listening to this in the car.
This afternoon I’ll be wood shedding songs for a fill in country gig with Tianna Woods and looking at a few tunes I’m unfamiliar with for a friend who is potentially looking for a bassist for the dad rock band he’s in.
Stay safe, cherish your friends and spend a moment to think about the impact of the father figures in your life, be they biological, adoptive, chosen or of either sex.
PS - Have a joyous Pride Parade/Day all my LGBTQ+ friends and relatives if I don’t get to see you before the end of the month. Love is love.
Today’s lunch is grilled cheese sandwiches and a choice of dill or sweet mixed pickles. I’m sure we have some olives in the fridge if you’d rather not do pickles.
BTW, I don’t touch the cauliflower in the mixed pickles, those are Rosie’s favourite. I will, however, eat any of the pearl onions in the jar, those are all mine.
I personally think cracked wheat bread is the best for grilled cheese. We use Maple Dale extra old cheddar cheese from two pound blocks in our house. If you are a cheese nut, I can recommend the various cheeses they make. They are between Belleville and Tweed on Hwy 37, and if you are in the area, I strongly suggest you drop by the plant storefront and pick up some. Yum!
As usual, Rosie will put the kettle on for tea. English Breakfast or Earl Grey are the usual, but I’m sure we have others in the cupboard if those aren’t your cup of tea (see what I did there?
Stay safe, remember your sunscreen and break out your pride flag in support of our friends of every orientation. Love is love.
Rosie (my long suffering wife) finds a lot of soups and especially the ramen noodle packets too salty, but she really wanted a chicken noodle soup for lunch, but there’s none in the pantry.
So, I guess, it’s time to get creative.
I picked up a package of plain ramen noodle pucks when I was out doing the grocery shopping. Plain noodles with lower sodium chicken broth instead of the packet of bouillon power and water as the base might work. I also add chopped veggies (green onion, celery, mushrooms, radishes, red and/or green peppers and garlic of some kind), and some leftover protein if you want. Add enough broth of choice to cover the noodles and extras, cover and put in the microwave.
I give it 3 minutes on high, stir to break up the noodle puck and mix around the veggies, give it another minute then add a raw egg on top and nuke for another minute.
When done, mix in the partially cooked egg, and garnish with whatever your heart tells you. Make sure to let it sit for a bit, because it’s going to be very hot right out of the microwave.
You now have a quick, filling and reasonably healthy meal in less than 10 minutes (including chopping time). Bon appétit!
As always, Rosie is just putting the kettle on, and you can have your choice of whatever tea (loose or bagged) we have on hand. A selection of cookies are available as well as a homemade bran muffin, if that’s your pleasure.
Stay safe, wash your hands and don’t be afraid to get creative with what you have in the cupboard. Store bought with additions from the fridge and pantry is perfectly acceptable in this house.

For those that enjoyed this post, I’m going to start sharing more shared lunches in the future with everyone on Tumblr. I won’t be posting shared lunches daily, or even on a scheduled basis. Lunches will get posted as the time, mood, and food inspires me.
