What do you do about lunch at work?
Do your wives make you lunches to eat, or do you go out to eat? If they make your lunch what sorts of things do they pack for you?
I am kind of opposed to sandwiches. I know that's weird, few people understand the aversion. Let's just say that after years of nothing but sandwiches for lunch I got some serious burnout. I'll eat them if someone else makes one, or if they crop up at a meeting or something, but you'll never catch me making one for myself. Which leaves me in kind of a dilemma as to what to eat for lunch. I don't really like eating out, so I try and avoid going that route. I know it's not entirely normal but if I don't pay attention I'll forget to eat lunch all together and then have to eat a big dinner to try and compensate for lost calories (which fyi, is not effective). So in an effort to improve my eating habits I've been trying to remember to take food with me to work for lunch. I taken frozen tamales sometimes and microwave them. I don't usually have a lot of leftovers. Is that what you all eat for lunch? Leftovers? |

Leftovers or whatever the cafeteria was serving. And a jar of peanut butter at the desk in case of emergencies.

Mon - Thurs = Prepacked salads (good use of leftovers)
Fri Lunch = Seafood out - we alternate between The Dancing Crab, McCormick and Schmick (Reston), or Legal Seafood. |

This should eliminate any doubt for Archaea that you are a female.

I typically like to rotate between a PBJ (Jelly), PBJ (Jam), PBH and if I'm all out of bread, then just PB. It keeps things interesting. I've been doing this for about 10 years now. Trust me. It never gets old.
BTW, did you know that 96% of people put the PB on first when making a PBJ? Interesting, eh. I, for one, am one of the 4%. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself: http://www.peanutbutter.com/funfacts.asp |

I eat 6 times a day and I hate preparing the 3 meals that I eat at work. So, I usually go with a protein bar and a yogurt for the first 2 meals and a Myoplex shake for the lunch. When I get home I have real food.
