The Lunch-eater's Solution

Remember when I wrote about buying lunch? I oh-so-wittily called it the "lunch-eater's dilemma?"

Here at NPB headquarters, we've come up with a pretty good plan to tackle that problem. Now if only the G20 leaders converging on my city can do as much for the financial crisis!

What we did was this: Made a metric ton of food on Sunday. Dishes we made: a bunch of rice, chicken stir-fry, veggie stir-fry, teriyaki sauce and curry sauce. We put them in the refrigerator and each morning before heading to school/work, we made ourselves a lunch with the ingredients. It's worked out pretty well so far, with each of us remembering to bring food for the day. I like having the two sauces to choose from -- Monday wasn't a very curry kind of day, so I brought the teriyaki. Crisis averted.

It takes some time, but saving money and planning ahead always does. Now we just have to think of which sauces we're going to make in the future...
