What’s For Lunch?

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Laptop Lunches

I have hated the PB&J lunch thing since I was taking my Snoopy lunch box to Kindergarten.  I just didn’t have a decent solution, until I saw these…..

IMG_0603Doesn’t that look a lot better?

I got one of these for Tech Support a while back.  I love it.  Want to get me one, not that I need it, but still.  I’m definitely getting one for each of the orphans.  There is an outer box and four inner boxes, plus the little one is for sauce, so that you can separate your fruits, veggies, meats, and sauces.  One of the things that I am a little worried about it the number of pieces, but all the pieces fit into the outer box like a puzzle.  I think that will help with knowing what needs to go back into the box.  It’s either that or three plus plastic bags per kid per day, not something I want to do with four kids taking lunches nearly every day.

As you all know, I am not a fan of the school lunch program.  It’s crap, and at our school they serve it in styrofoam boxes.  I am desperately hoping, now that we are the fattest city in America, that Jamie Oliver comes to our town.  I’m his biggest fan.  Not in the tie him to a bed in the back room until he teaches me to make bruschetta kind of way, (except yeah) Can you blame me?

IMG_0334If a jury of my peers consisted of people who have eaten this, I’d totally get acquitted.

Either way, I know that the same old same old isn’t going to work for us.  I’m looking forward to more lunches like the ones that Tech Support is getting lately.
