Friday, November 9, 2007 Packed lunch Posted in Menu Planning Brent prefers to take my packed lunch everyday – he says it’s nicer (Isn’t he nice) and heaps cheaper, plus it’s easier for him as he often eats & works – not a good thing in my book – but nice to get him home early!!! He is a shocker at times as if I don’t pack his lunch – (very rare) he often skips lunch Today I thought I’d blog what I pack him – maybe a few ideas for others who pack their dh’s lunch .  Talking to friends packing lunches for DH is not very common – but I’ve done if for over 21 years & don’t mind – I enjoy getting up early – ok its 3.40am here in NZ. I also make Brent’s breakfast & have all his keys, phone, & dog biscuits ready at the door. This is such a cool bag as I can put a frozen cool pack in it to keep food cool & fresh in summer. Brent normally adds a bottle of ginger beer in the side. I’d admit I would have slippers ready for when he came home too – but Brent says slippers are for old farts so he doesn’t wear them – we keep teasing him that he is getting old & will soon like slippers… Bacon n egg pie, cheese herb muffins & chocolate chip cookies made by Abbey, & fruit I normally put 3 pieces of fruit a day in his lunch. A smaller lunch today as he had two toastie pies for breakfast filled with last nights lasagna Bread rolls filled with salad & ham – Brent likes egg & beetroot & carrot added. Cheese herb muffins & chocolate chip cookies made by Abbey, Fresh strawberries & fruit. Today's lunch is salad with boiled eggs complements chooks, tinned tuna, fresh pineapple & strawberries . Banana chocolate chip muffins made by Abbey. Brent caught me taking photo of his lunch yesterday & he really thinks I’ve finally gone cuckoo • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend! Comments Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - good topic, neat photos, keep sharing, HAHA! Posted by Illoura I am sure my husband would consider me bonkers as well... but they have no idea how motivating it is to SEE how to prepare things- especially to someone first getting an idea of the concepts you've been speaking on. I want to start sending lunches off with my husband too (he travels all day, place to place to do repairs). We spend WAY too much on food, and adjusting my spending on it is my main project for the next month even as I've been making some good plans the past year, I haven't implemented much. It's much more interesting, informative, fun when others are making the same decisions and doing the same thing! THANK YOU for taking the time to explain your ideas, and for sharing your experiences! • Permanent Link Friday, August 8, 2008 - Untitled Comment Posted by Deutschmum How thoughtful and sweet - both that you care enough to pack a lunch for your husband AND that he prefers and appreciates you doing it! What a blessing you must be to him! I appreciate you sharing your lunch ideas as I have been at a loss for what to pack beyond a simple ham sandwich and chips! Thank you! • Permanent Link
