That's one of my standard lunches, too, but I usually have some kind of
vegetable--usually Chinese cabbage, bok choy, or asparagus.

If I bring a sandwich with deli meat (very rarely) I pack the tomato and
lettuce separately, then put it together at work. I had soggy bread and
soggy lettuce and tomatoes, and if you put them together and home, they're
almost all soggy by lunchtime.

I live alone, if there was 2 of me I'd qualify as a Dink (dual income no
kids). Since the kids left nigh on 6 yrs ago I haven't been able to down-
size cooking successfully. Hence come supper time I have excess food a
plenty. Of this I freeze some and also take some as lunch the following
day.

Works out pretty good...I don't feel as guilty about cooking too much and
it forces me to actualy cook a decent meal instead of just a junk food
meal.

I even got some of those covered plastic microwave segmented plates to
put it in for easy transport, also I don't care to eat out tupperware
bowls...just doesn't seem right.

Lately I've been taking rotisseried chicken to work a fair bit. I got me
the GF rotisserie for xmas. I just cut the bird in half after cooking.
Eat half for supper and take the other half with a side salad to work
the next day.

I live 1-1/2 blocks from work, so it's usually beer and pretzels while
in the laz-y-boy for 1/2 hour of soaps.

My (new in 1998) car only has 27k miles on it.

Usually leftover stew/curry/chilli/pasta/soup/etc that I make in big
batches and either finish off as lunches or freeze in portions for future
lunches. But occasionally I bring cottage cheese and tomato or cream
cheese and tuna to eat with the seed crackers I keep in my desk.
