Who brings their own lunch to work?? (Non-Political Thread)

[mwilson]

I also had one of these guys years ago. His name was Cory. I emptied my colon into his lunch box one day. Cory never ate anyone’s food again.

We had a similar situation here years ago, it was cured making a sandwich comprised mainly of material scavenged from a cats litter box and left out where the fool would grab it.....solved the problem..

Another question, who here packs their own lunch?

I’ve been married to my wife for 15 years, but we’ve been together for 24 years. We’ve never separated and we’ve lived together since the night of our first date. She wakes up with me every morning and packs my lunch. She also makes me a homemade breakfast sandwich and a mug of coffee. When I get home at night, there’s always hot food waiting. I’ve never asked her to do it, she just does.

I have been treated in a similar fashion, when I drag in after working late she will still offer to make me something eat regardless of the hour.

The last few years we alternate with the lunch packing, many mornings I will pack mine and make hers as well. I have gotten pretty creative making wraps and such for her.....in the winter we alternate making coffee, filling the fire, doing up the dishes and packing lunches...

Weenies and beans or Vieeeeennnna sausages?

Dinty Moore Beef Stew explosions come to mind.....

Leftovers, wrapped in aluminum foil, warmed on the forwarder exhaust manifold. 20 minutes empty. 10 minutes with a full hitch.

MANY MANY TIMES!!

My Dad made me a stainless tray that was cupped up around the edges with tabs along the backside that when double nutted the tabs to the exhaust manifold studs held it in place. I carried a cooler filled with homemade burritos wrapped many times in foil, from the bottom of the Grapevine at Castaic to the top of the pass at Smokey Bear off-ramp pull out the bowl of salsa and chow down.

I bring my breakfast and lunch with me everyday. Lunch is usually leftovers from dinner the night before and breakfast is normally eggs, bacon, spam, or sausage, and cheese. I will make a cup of coffee before I leave for work but I will sometimes stop for another one somewhere mid morning depending on what my schedule is. It's always gas station or McDonald's coffee.

Its called love, Devotion, Caring whatever you want to call it, I think of it as being an Old Fashion Girl thats being DAMN decent
I could count on something to eat after hunting the day riding all night to get game to the processor and back to camp for another day of hunting she had something hot to eat after scrubbing the trail dust off myself in the shower tent.

I wouldn't trade my Gal for anyone else.

FROM WHAT IVE SEEN THEY ARE A LIMITED EDITION THESE DAYS

I agree. After almost 35 years I get my 1st cup of coffee in bed and my thermos and lunch bucket filled before I’m ready to go. While I do my best for her, I certainly don’t deserve to be treated anywhere near as good as I am. I am a lucky man.

I wondered why Gail wanted to know how to spell Yeti, so being the busybody I am when he went to (Scrub his Carrot) as he calls it, I had to look AT THE POST!! not him in the shower Shame on you if you thought the other way

I can bet that you all are no different than he was and still is if he needs to be, For years he put in more hours than was necessary at work, worked more days than he needed to, only to come home and continue to bust his fanny. How can any wife stand by and let their Guy do that and not return the love.

We had hot dogger heaters on our snowmobiles. It was an aluminum box that was attached with a hose clamped to the exhaust pipe. Put your lunch in it (hot pocket etc) a hour before lunch and one had a nice warm lunch. BTW SnoKing is for being about to find good snow to ride on.

When I was gainful employed, can't say I really worked since I sat behind a desk and designed big boy toys! For the most part my wife made my lunch for me for 40 years. In fact I still eat basically the same lunch today as I did when I worked. She still ask me aren't you tried of eating the same thing day in and day out! I tell her no it's food and I like it.

A rye bread sandwich ham and cheese, a large red delicious apple, carrot sticks and lightly slated dry roasted almonds about a 1/2 cup.

I go in spurts. Despite having two teenage boys that are hitting some serious growth spurts there are generally leftovers in the fridge for me to take 3-4 days a week. Mamma cooks for an army. That's the Italian in her.... This time of year leftovers are more common.
wrestling season and weight cuts and all.

But I'm pretty spoiled when I do go out for lunch. "The Crows Nest" is about a rural mile from work. Bar/restaurant with a real emphasis on restaurant with hard to beat daily lunch specials. For example, one day a week is spaghetti with home made meatballs and sauce for $5 drink included. One day a week during the latter summer months is fresh perch caught off the lake by a local fishery (The Nest is literally within view of Lake Eire) for $9 with a side of coleslaw and fresh cut fries. Whatever the special is you don't walk out hungry.

Sometimes it really is good to just get away for a few.

I witnessed several failed attempts involving canned goods during exhaust manifold cooking trials back in my woods days....

My favorite incident i witnessed was one of the guys throwing a sealed can of soup in the welding rod oven to warm up...and forgot about it. We threw out over $1500 worth of rod that day....but it did get us a microwave real soon after

Spam, but no scrapple, Justin???

I do like scrapple done nice and crispy on the outside. Just don't eat it on a regular basis. Spam is a staple in my house.

Occasionally Spam & Vienna Sausage nothing wrong with it but My Parents would send me "Care Packages" when I went to Vietnam. I ate so many cans of both products I need to force the eating of them now.

My breakfast already made for tomorrow. 4 slices of Spam, 2 slices of colby jack, and 2 soft fried eggs. I'll pop it the microwave at work in the morning for a couple of minutes and it will be ready to go.

 

[BIGNASTY]

Not that we don't eat out but the major chain fast food IS OUT!! McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, out here they're called Hardees everywhere else its Carls JR, Dennys, IHop, on & on & on are Choke, Puke & Gage franchises. There are some very small one store or multi store places that aren't production line food that we go to. Sit down dinners at a table not a booth are plentiful here and are excellent fare.

When I worked Penny would fix several different things for, to go breakfasts, I only lived 5 miles from the terminal and rode my bicycle to work so whatever it was would need to be ate as I rode with no hands on the handlebars. Coffee, lunch was in a backpack that was most often consumed in my 18 wheel rolling office driving to or from a gas station. Lunch break for me wasn't what most people would consider a Lunch Break, I went to work and worked straight through until I ran out of hours driving OR working off the wagon in the yard.
