Sorry for ignoring you.

What you doing for lunch?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Lunch. Lunch?

I’m about to have dinner/lunch. Which would make it.....DUNCH!

For Dunch I am having a steak, baked potato and green beans!

[Jet Jaguar]

Sounds good. I had steak, fries, and some weird southern sweetcorn fried tot things.

They taste okay. But, deep frying corn? I never thought I would see that.
