Packed lunches

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

Do you take lunch into work? What do you take? I'm finding my lunches rather under-satisfying. Yesterday, I had a (co-op bought, because I forgot to ensure that we had bread) ham sandwich, a yoghurt and an apple, and this was clearly not enough. Today I had a cupasoup (of the thicker variety), a steak slice and a 250g fruit salad, and this was still not very satisfying.

Clearly, I need more carbohydrate, but I also want things slightly more interesting than sandwiches every day. I had been thinking of scrambled eggs and bread and butter tomorrow...

We have a hot water machine (no, not quite a kettle), a toaster, a toasted sandwich maker, a microwave, a fridge and a freezer.

If I take my own lunch (which I don't do as often as I would like), the contents are basically the same as your lunch yesterday, so I guess our nutritional needs are different. Microwaveable leftovers sounds like a good idea, either frozen or left in the fridge from the previous night's dinner - I used to do that when I worked at a place that had a microwave in the staff kitchen.

Since you have a toaster, you could also try crumpets or muffins instead of bread, for variety, or vary the type of bread you use. Hot soup with Irish soda bread is hard to beat, for instance.
