Speaking of lunch, Aldi has on sale an Electric Lunch Container.
What happened to brown paper bags with a couple of sandwiches? (cut diagonally, of course...).
Got a tip for us?

Should I walk to school or carry my lunch?
Is your lunch that heavy that you cannot take it with you when walking?
I used to have an electronic 8 ball to help me with decisions like this, but when I went to the store to buy batteries, they weren't included.
Good point, get some take-out pizza in the morning on the way to school for lunch
There is a first for everything!

Get a calzone intead. Think of it as a pizza designed for travel. I wouldn't buy a Mac mini and travel with it, either.
Part of me (bottom left-hand quarter, I think) is of Cornish heritage. A proper Cornish lunch is a Cornish Pasty. Now, if you have ever had a proper Cornish Pasty, you will know that the crimped ring around the curved side is thick, hard and inedible**.
This is by design.
They were made for the Cornish tin miners, and the crimped part served as a handle, so the miners could hold their food and eat the good part, without ingesting the toxic tin dust that was all over their hands.
Even now, legend has it that there are middens of Pasty handles near the old mines that are two centuries old, and the contents are as ''fresh" as the day they were cooked. *
* Although it may be the Cornish part of me spinning a tale...
** Edited to replace indelible with inedible. How many of you noticed???

Absolutely, and as the post prior to yours illustrates, the herbal ingredients do vary greatly between users.
You can keep your herbal teas. But if I don’t get my 6-10 cups of regular tea a day I’m not a happy bunny! It’s what keeps me going.
Another big Snow Storm is bearing down today! Thank God I don't live on the Shore of the Great Lakes and al; their Lake effect snow! The 90 Interstate seems to be the cutoff for Lake Effect! I should know this already graduated from RIT in '92 we had 14 feet of snow! That stills scares me sometimes!
I am ok with some tea but really depend on coffee myself.
My mother would have been of that view and Decent Brother - who loves a mug of tea - still is.
Ah, a man after my own heart.
As do I.
Whatever about six to ten cups of coffee a day (which was my life as a student, and, later, as an academic, and I will also admit that when I work abroad, my daily coffee intake climbs considerably), I cannnot claim to be fully human until I have had my first cup of coffee of the day.
I don’t leave the house unless I’ve had one or two. Kinder on the rest of the world that way!
First thing starting my day, I have orange juice and then a nice hot cup of freshly-brewed coffee -- usually drink two mugs full, sometimes more, sometimes less. Both get me moving and fully awake in order to do anything else.
Yep: Orange juice (freshly squeezed) or some sort of citrus juice (often, I will have grapefruit - freshly squeezed, - or some mix of citrus fruit, freshly squeezed), plus real, freshly prepared, coffee.
That is the bare minimum; then, depending on mood, there wil be natural yogurt, perhaps eggs (scrambled, fried, or boiled, or, if I am really focussed, poached eggs), and (usually) toasted rye bread with either cheese or marmalade or good quality apricot jam.

Indeed, low coffee intake is my number one excuse in the morning whenever I mess things up
I used to brew my own little espressos but with kids and less time at hands and the hose already being a realm of chaos I rely on the K-cups brews a lot. I was sceptical at best but found that many offerings actually brew a fairly good cup.
