Brought My Lunch is a photo group to showcase the lunch you brought to work. The goal is to create an incentive to 1) bring lunch to work (instead of buying expensive, less healthy meals around the office) and 2) to bring better lunches to work, lunches that are worthy of not just eating, but photographing. So pack that lunch, break out your camera, and submit your photos to the group pool.

I'm excited to see the new Gus Van Sant film Paranoid Park, which is based on a novel by Blake Nelson. After realzing Nelson's connection to the film, I recalled that I got to see him read from his excellent book Rock Star Superstar (picture of my signed copy above) a few years ago. It was a great reading (lots of laughing), and the book is quite good. If you aren't familiar with his work, do check it out.
French toast, bacon, and a fresh orange. To make the french toast, I make sure to use day-old very good bread, and I just dunk thick slices into an unmeasured mixture of eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. I then cook it up on a frying pan layered with melted butter and honey. It may not be good for the waist-size, but damn is it good for the weekend soul.
And of course, to go with that plate of delicious food, a cup or three of coffee, piping hot.
