It's what's for lunch. Danish Jubilee ham and Havarti half sandwich (285 calories), our original "Taste of Freedom" culinary salute to the Danish people for keeping their heads while all around them were bowing theirs down in dhimmitude during last year's Cartoon Wars. Click here for Baby Cakes's favorite, the grilled-cheese version and here for a taste of freedom American style, turkey sandwich with California navel orange slices.
For those of our readers who have been wondering "What's for lunch?" in that work in progress that is the Cold Turkey Cookbook, here's a typical noonday meal of delicious half sandwich, fruit, yogurt and a bowl of homemade soup. Quantities and calorie counts:
One slice Arnold Oat Nut Bread = 120 calories
1 tbsp Hellmann's Light Mayo = 40
1 thin slice Jubilee Danish Ham = 15
1 slice Havarti = 110
1 serving Dannon Activia Lite Yogurt = 70
10 Seedless Grapes = 30
3/4 cup Homemade Broccoli Soup = 61
Total = 446
Sure, we could have had lettuce instead of Havarti with our ham and cut out 100 extra calories, but sometimes you have to eat for something larger than yourself.
I can see the need to do some serious shopping for my new diet... this looks so much more appetizing than the PB&J I had for lunch... ;)

Lovely. It looks delicious! And what you gain from the cheese calorie-wise is certainly offset by having that wonderful taste - not to mention the lovely picture.
The secret to being satisfied with your diet... eat excellent tasting food, just not to excess. And you're doing such a wonderful job of it. *grin*

For anyone who hasn't tried the Arnold Oat Nut Bread - you do NOT know what you are missing!
CRUNCHY food has been shown to be a stress reliever. Now all I need to do is figure out how to pack that spread in a way that it survives a 1 hour commute and 3 hours until lunch! It IS doable!
Ah Sissy - expanding our minds and reducing our bumsize! What a WOMAN!

Inga said "what a load of crap!" just for the sake of irony, but yours truly will refrain.
