Packing lunch setback

June 3rd, 2014 at 05:04 pm

So yesterday I spent a ton of time packing food.

We made way more greek salad than we need to, and I packed away some to take to work today.

Than, I got overly ambitious and decided to pack breakfast. It would be replacing my usual Doughnut Plant's coconut cream dounut, so it had to be decent.

So I packed fresh ricotta cheese, strawberries and blueberries in a separate container, fresh figs in a separate container, and shelled and than roasted some pecans (separate container), and even brought in some powdered sugar in a small container to dust my creation after assembly. And I set up the coffee maker and thermos for the morning.

Anyway, in getting together all my tiny containers in the morning, I forgot my big one, with my lunch!!!

Grrr. What am I going to do now. I will go out and buy lunch. But what do I do with that greek salad? I already have plan for dinner (and we should eat it today so it does not spoil). And that salad is expensive - a single organic bell pepper is like $5.

I've tried hard and that is why it is so frustrating.

    Won't the Greek salad still be okay for tomorrow? Although if you already put the dressing on it could be soggy. You might make a list of which containers you need to take each night so you can double check in the morning. Or maybe they could be grouped in a box or bag you pull from the fridge all contained?

    Don't let missing one day keep you from finding ways to make it work.

    I did put the dressing on. And eating greek salad on day 3? I think it will be really soggy and limp.

    Plus, on Wed, I am within a possible trek of the Milk Truck - it will be in Midtown. I like trying new things and this week I was going to check them out and try their Ham and Cheese melt (Niman’s Ranch Applewood Smoked Ham, Vermont Aged Cheddar & Colman’s Mustard on Blue Ribbon Bakery Rosemary Pullman Bread).

    Yep, if you put the dressing on it's likely ruined if you can't eat it tonight.

    Will your dinner plan keep another day?
    You could eat the salad yourself for dinner, save your portion of the dinner tonight for lunch another day? Perhaps not ideal, but workable?
