Damn, I just made the BEST lunch batch. A brief note on which: lunch batches are pretty much always a big batch of bean salad with veggies in which is always vegetarian, often vegan though neither are the point, and composed so they taste good hot or cold and keep safely at room temperature for at least 6 hrs so I can parcel out some in a jar in the morning to take to work. Sometimes I have access to a fridge or a microwave, sometimes both, sometimes neither. Anyway.

THIS LUNCH BATCH IS THE BUSINESS.

Usually I go for lentils because they're fast. But I have a pressure cooker so it was chickpeas today, and just.....mwah. Cooked the beans, dumped a bag of frozen peas in, put some gently-cooked thinslice carrots and onions (just enough to take the raw out) and seasoned the whole mess with salt, pepper, oregano and thyme. Got some olive oil on there. I was going to put some chopped green olives in to help empty out the container, but nah I think I'll just put a few in on top of the lunch jar.

Only thing I really wish I had is fresh parsley, but eh. Not going to the store and yard parsley is all gone to seed. I will deal.

<3 lov lunch batch. I end up eating it for two weeks usually so it's great when it turns out especially nice.
