While I won't be packing a lunch in Vietnam, I can play up until I go!
Today it was 2/3 cup of brown rice, 6 oz of sliced ham with a little hot sauce, and the last little bit of green apple chutney...which I got from the canning exchange last November.
I pack multiple lunches at a time in those little square Ziploc boxes, so for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, its:
1 cup or so of vegetable beef stew
dollop of sauteed kale w/onion, garlic, red pepper
Snack will be 1/3 of the pack of beef jerky.
On a side note, I hit it lucky Sunday on the finding change front. First off, I found a run-over dollar bill. It looked all the world like a fake until I picked up. A couple hours later I found a 1982 half dollar as I was cutting through the car wash parking lot. Its a rare day that my luck has been that good, but day to day, my change finding luck has held up very well - I'm currently at $43.23 since mid-July 2010.
Got my lunches 1st - 4th

CB - Seattle folks are supposedly the "smartest" in the country, but many have not mastered these steps.
Buy product with cash
Get change in hand, perhaps look to see if its correct
Open wallet
Dump change in wallet
Close wallet
I find that Safeway floor is a gold mine for change. I thought it was just my neighborhood Safeway, but I tried a couple of other ones further away - all were productive. The Safeways with the Starbucks inside are especially good...Starbucks floors are quite good too.
Oh well, more for me.
