Some of the free lunch programs were still goin’ on – based on the last leg of the Black Panther Party.
Essentially, Christmas has always been about spending time with family. We had one big lunch filled with banter, warmth, laughter and great food. Doing up the tree with my mom was another fun exercise.
I was talking to Rupert Murdoch the other day at a lunch, and he said, ‘Maybe I’ll live to 100’. He actually thinks he will live to 100!
I don’t ever take lunch. If I were to go to lunch I would waste four hours.
Mom would pack our lunch and send us off with no supervision. There were enough of us so that if she lost a few, there would still be plenty left.
It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words, like ‘What about lunch?’
We’re a really close family. And actually, we see each other and speak on the phone all the time… the odd Sunday lunch, or pop in for coffee or something like that.
Taking Big Bird away from our five year olds, lunch money away from our ten year olds, job training programs away from our fifteen year olds, and college loans away from our twenty year olds is a disgrace.
In terms of diet, when I’m home, I start the day with a cup of coffee, Weetabix, toast and some fruit. If I’m at the house for lunch, I might choose an omelette with green salad.
Casa amigos means house of friends and that’s how we work. We have lunch together every day; a couple of times a week we have drinks. There are no assigned desks – everyone just moves around. It’s very social and creative.
My parents were/are straight-edge hippies. Mom roamed around gardening so we would have fresh food, and Dad was on wood-chopping duty to heat our passive solar home that they figured out how to design and build together. I was the kid with green peppers in my lunch, and I liked them!
I want to safeguard the value of lunch. For me, it is sacred. My family and I always have lunch and dinner together. And we always sit down. Food does not taste the same if you are standing up!
I get breakfast when everyone else is on their lunch break. I usually go to Dimes, which is a short walk from my apartment. Usually, I’ll have chia pudding or an acai bowl and toast and sausage.
I usually have my protein at lunch and my carbs at night – I don’t mix protein and carbs.
I did the first Parker novel, in which he got caught, and the editor at Pocket Books took me to lunch and said, ‘Is there any way that this guy could get away at the end, and you could do three books a year for us?’ And I said, ‘I think so.’
I’ve now been doing this for ten years, and I actually got to skip a stage of going to casting directors, and now I meet with the directors, either for lunch or an audition room, and I still read sides; you’re never going to get around that, but I’m not the best person to go on an audition.
I think people in Italy live their lives better than we do. It’s an older country, and they’ve learned to celebrate dinner and lunch, whereas we sort of eat as quickly as we can to get through it.
Peanut Butter Wolf is my relaxing music, my lunch music, my chilling music.
I’m a filmmaker who decided to go to culinary school. All I picked up was the fact if I didn’t understand what was going on with every single ingredient, I could be qualifying for, like, the lunch food job at my daughter’s school.
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.
Many online journals get the most hits of the day during the lunch hour.
I usually eat six times a day, small meals. For breakfast, an egg and a corn tortilla, salsa and cilantro, and some ham. For snacks, I’ll have an apple, some string cheese, a yogurt. For lunch I’ll have salad with protein in it and for dinner usually steamed vegetables and chicken or fish.
My lunch is the staple Indian meal – rotis, vegetables and dal. But instead of wheat rotis, I have rotis made of bran or barley.
I often go to lunch meetings with my agent, a gallerist or a casting director, but if not, I stay at home and prepare my own food because I love to cook. I’m great at pasta, fish and nice salads.
Quite frankly, I am not very comfortable in chitchat. When I go to board meetings, I arrive two minutes before and leave when it’s over. I don’t stay for lunch or go early and have coffee.
I went to lunch at the Ivy. People started running across the street, and one guy almost got hit by a car. I started to freak out. That put me into hiding for three weeks. I didn’t leave the house.
In Los Angeles, I’m always in Fred Segal. It’s become a ritual. I have lunch and then buy lots of things I don’t need. Usually tons of clothes for the kids that they grow out of in 10 seconds.
There’s this absurd situation on a movie set where your trailer’s here and the set is here and the lunch tent is here, and you’re not allowed to get yourself from these three places.
I spent a ton of time alone. I was raised by a feminist; I had a terrifying father and oppressively scary and mean brothers. We had a farm. The rule was between breakfast and lunch you weren’t allowed to make a sound.
If I want to detox, I’ll do the juicing thing for sure. I’ll have two juices and then a solid meal for either dinner or lunch.
I will end the lawlessness that’s destroying our environment. I will take polluters to court, not to lunch.
I remember having lunch with a friend who worked at the White House. I’d just graduated from law school but kept telling my friend what they needed to do and weren’t doing right about the Iran-Contra affair. The next day, I got a call from the White House, offering me a job.
My biggest tip is this… treat bread like chocolate. You wouldn’t have a chocolate bar in the morning and then a double chocolate bar at lunch and then some chocolate before dinner. I was essentially eating a loaf of bread a day. And that doesn’t work for me.
You are about to have your first experience with a Greek lunch. I will kill you if you pretend to like it.
I’m the kind of girl who thinks about what she’s gonna cook for dinner when she’s finishing her lunch.
I’m not cynical about marriage or romance. I enjoyed being married. And although being single was fun for a while, there was always the risk of dating someone who’d owned a lunch box with my picture on it.
In tech-land, no one cares what kind of car you drive, and frankly, they’re not going to find out anyway. You’re not going to go to lunch together, because you’re going to be sitting in your cube with a brown bag eating lunch.
Of course I knew that writing was terrifically hard work and that there was no secret code, as in a video game, that would unlock Tolstoy-mode, enabling me to crank out canon-worthy novellas before lunch.
I go on walks during lunch breaks and travel with a fold-up yoga mat. I also love reading by candlelight at night.
I got jumped on by eight girls in my first year at secondary school. I was 11. I was going down to the shop for lunch, I didn’t know them, and it was for no reason. I stood up for myself. I wasn’t hurt, but I lost some hair.
Every time – well, not every time, but in celebration of a great review or a great accolade, I take the team of Daniel to Katz’s Deli for lunch. We take the trip on the subway, we were like 40 or 50 people, and we go in the back room and have a pastrami sandwich.
It’s usually a jolly good trick to pick up a local tour guide. They can tell you all the anecdotes that make a place interesting. I’m one for rushing off to museums at the crack of dawn, eating fabulous things on terraces for lunch, and enjoying long dinners on balmy evenings.
I’m really big on day dates. If you go for a stroll, have a picnic or lunch with a glass of wine – it doesn’t get better than that.
If I’m playing in the morning, I’ll get some carbs early: porridge with chopped banana. If I’m playing in the afternoon, I’ll start with less carbs and have some eggs and fruit for breakfast, then a light lunch about 90 minutes before I play, so I don’t feel sluggish or full.
I typically have breakfast, have a snack, have lunch, have a snack, and have dinner.
I can direct breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I take pride in my kitchen, but I’m not going to direct a movie.
When I moved to New York, I was dead broke and lost my mind, and my girlfriend dumped me and was with some banker making money. I wandered by Jane Curtin’s house, and she’s like, ‘Come in here, dear. I’ll make you lunch. Tell me, what’s going on in your life?’
I envision a day when a businesswoman will be having lunch, and then her phone will ring. When she opens it up, she will see an image of the latest Marc Jacobs coat that just arrived in stock. With a click of a button, she can purchase it and then find it waiting for her when she gets back to her office.
I never laugh or smile when I am writing. When I come home for lunch after writing all morning, my wife says I look like I just came home from a funeral. This is not bragging. This is an illness.
I never liked apples. In fact, when I was a little girl, my mom wanted to give me apples in my lunch box and I would ask for green peppers. So bizarre… It’s funny – I don’t have an apple a day, but I can say that I have a few a week.
A bachelor’s life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.
We’re very specific when we’re drawing work plans. We think about the chances of when a person gets off the elevator where they will go. We think about how people get to a coffee machine, when they go and get their lunch, when they go to the bathroom.
