Thats sounds like lots of fun! On Christmas Eve I am making a roast too! First wanted to make a turkey, then decided why not try a roast this year. Either way we will be having a turkey at Nunna for Christmas lunch.

CG, when I was a kid my mom also packed stew and soups in a mini thermos too. Thinking about that, I am so grateful she made sure I had hot lunch for school.

That sounds like a great idea! I always try to find ways to eat more salads. Sometimes it gets lazy having to pack and bring to work. One of my colleague follows the same method like yours, but instead of salad, she makes her mini cheese & cold cut platter every lunch right from the fridge! Yum!

What's Pea Pod, Addie?

Great question, Addie! :cool: Amazon is an online shopping website. They usually sell books and other stuff online. But now they are doing grocery online too. Apparently they deliver take out foods now too. That's something new. I wish I lived in US, won't have to step a foot out. Especially on...

Oh no... :( thats the worst thing. It's not about a competition. Its about sharing and having a good time.

Do you have salads for lunch? I don't know if you bring salads, but I do know every day there is a huge line up at salad bars, where my office is. It somewhat makes sense why people would rather buy salad every day.... Of course, its a healthy choice, it makes sense if they didn't have time to...

hahaha such a cute video. I love Korean food too. Your video makes me hungry.... :yum:

Have you found the 5.0/5.0 ultimate green recipe? I want to give it a try.

Well said, Larry. Especially with Amazon Fresh is starting to launch (in Canada). I'm quite excited for that!

GG, it's just about sharing good discussions and helpful tips with DC community. Not everyone is aware of my blog and visits it every day.

Kaneohegirlinaz, that's an awesome advice! My husband was suggesting the same... I thought he was joking! I should get started on this!

I can soooooo relate to you, CharlieD. My husband works a 14hr shift, so I have to pack both lunches and dinners for him. Plus, his office is located in no-man's land.... no restaurants, no malls around. LUNCHES: What I do to accommodate this is preping everything on Sunday. To get started, you...

I agree, Steve, it's definitely nice to have different cuisines every day. Where I work, there are 5 huge food courts within 10 minutes walk. It's definitely a treat! Sometimes we go out with colleagues to celebrate bdays. Most of the time, I bring food... otherwise i'd go broke :sad:

Do you have somebody at work, who would bring their lunch from home and there will always be some people surrounding them and say: “wooo….. what are you having today? You made this?? That looks good!!!!” And if you ask them: “Where is your lunch?” Then you would hear the same answer over and...

I usually use the traditional lemon, rosemary, salt and pepper, garlic powder, paprika blend. When I crave for some roasted chicken with Asian flavors, I definitely go with this blend: - Chinese 5-spice - tiny bit of turmeric powder (optional) - soy sauce - minced garlic - minced onion - a hint...

Do you like baking at home, CarolPa?

Omg, you are so right, CharlieD! You can easily become center of any crowd by just cooking something basic. I remember last year we were invited to a friend's Christmas potluck. I brought a baked sweet potato casserole dish (everyone raved like no tomorrow!) Thats because the rest of the food...

Thanks, Cooking Goddess! Fortunately to me (and to my husband), I enjoy cooking. We watch our budget and only allow to go out once a month, therefore it is especially important to enjoy cooking more. :rofl:

:lol::lol: I admire your patient listening and guiding your son on how to cook. Your story reminds me of my conversation with my colleague yesterday at work. She said: "My son would try to reheat pasta sauce for his little brother to eat after school. Its all very nice, but my whole white stove...

Have you ever been to a potluck, where everyone surrounds this 1 person because that person brought a homemade dish? "Did you make this? Wowww.... Hey, check this out ... she can cook!" Or imagine you start a new job at a new company and have no friends at the beginning. Pretty lonely eh? I've...

I made baked fish sticks and served with tartar sauce and chipotle dipping sauce and some veggie sticks (too lazy to make fries).

Its such a relief to hear that everyone here enjoy cooking at home! In my family we have a rule of 1 day eat out/ month! Yes.... its very tough at the beginning, but eventually it forces me learn and experiment different recipes. We enjoy making new dishes at home. Then when we get to go out, we...

Agree with Cheryl, what a nice story... something definitely to be thankful for this Thanksgiving... (thankful for Kayelle's dressing?) :angel: Kayelle, you should share with the crowd your dressing recipe in another post!

Kayelle, completely agree with you! Eating out is very costly, yet a lot of people I know love eating out every day. (not because they can't cook, many can cook and actually cook well) Sometimes I feel like a loner being the only rare one, who brings lunch to work. :ermm: Most of my colleagues...
