Re: Taking lunch to work

do they have any markets near you? i sometimes for the sake of variety zip over to the market on a monday and buy mi veggie dem weh mi aggoh eat raw and i keep those in the fridge at work, a week's supply soh mi noh haffi drag stuff every day.

i keep cans of tuna and other seafood at my desk as a topping <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Click to reveal.. <input type="button" class="form-button" value="Show me!" onclick="toggle_spoiler(this, 'Yikes, my eyes!', 'Show me!')" /></div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div style="display: none;">[mi shame fi admit seh mi develop a liking fi tuna]</div></div></div>

most time i just make it from the night before or the morning. i have handy size ziploc screw top containers that are the exact size of a perfect meal.



once you make the time, you'll get into the habit.

Re: Taking lunch to work

depend on what we having it cook either morning or the nite before. fruits/veg cut and packed the morning and put in lunch bags ... Adale's own goes into his backpack which is sitting right next to the door, mine goes into my backpack sitting at the door as well

On Sundays I go through the fridge and the fruit basket and figure out if we have enough fruit and veg and yogurt for the week if not enough then we head for the grocery store.

You could stack up on things like these and your favourite fruits and as you get up in the morning pack your lunch (will only take about 5 min)

What Tanyer does

I make a chopped salad every day, sometimes the night before, of cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, carrots, olives. I don't like salad dressing so I may carry a half lemon with me in the morning. I also pack a turkey sandwich from home then some fruit like grapes, strawberries, or an orange. I keep cashews at my desk in case I get the munchies before I head home.

Buying lunch downtown DC is a waste of time (for me), I get bored of bought food easily, and it is too expensive!

Re: Taking lunch to work

If it noh expensive !!! sometimes I watch people lay out $10 +++ for lunch.

Re: Taking lunch to work

When I used to take lunch - like Sue said I would share maybe a day or two ahead and put them in the fridge. Usually some of whatever I had cooked.

Sometimes mi lef it same place inna de fridge to - but to avoid that I started taking it out of the fridge as soon as mi come down in the mornings and leave it on the counter where I can see it...

Also sometimes I would write reminders to myself on the magnetic noteboard on the fridge.

Re: Taking lunch to work

leaving your bank card at home is a good reminder to start packing a lunch. i swear that ATM card is the bane of humanity. memba in the old days when you had to go to the bank (before 3 when it closed) and cash yu pay packet and tek out enough money fi transportation, food, etc. i think we were better savers then.

but as usual mi aff tappick. just leave your bank card as a discipline tool.

this right here is the best reminder for me.

like most ppl have said already, half my lunch is prepared from the day before from leftovers, and I will have my lunch bag with the fruits and things sitting on the island in the morning to remind me to put it together.
