bring lunch to work or eat out?

[geForce]

I've been thinking of doing this for lunch...
Chinese bun (like a char siu bao, or something like that) - $1.25
Some sort of raw veggie, like carrots, celery or broccoli with dip - $5 will get you enough veggies for 5 days and another $3-5 for salad dressing that will last you maybe 2 months worth of dip

Total daily cost would be under $3 and requires minimal cooking/prep.

but as long as they're left overs that are packable for lunch, i don't see the problem... especially if they're cooking because that just means that they've already paid for the meal and it's costing you EVEN LESS than had you cooked your own dinner and had your own left overs...

hey, there were times i had mixed grab bag of left overs for lunch... rice, bak choy, bbq ribs (white style), and side ceasar salad haha

i hate eating those kinds of lunches. i think because in bible college everyone always had an awesome lunch and i had crap like doong goo with rice and that black noodle stuff. gross. i was traumatized by everyone wanting to have a bit of everyone else's lunch except for mine.

[Duncan]

yea, but that doesn't mean you can't stop the cycle now... you admitting you're traumatized with your childhood lunches just means you're admitting to the fact that you don't mind blowing money on lunches when you could save money by bringing left overs or packing your own lunch... kinda makes this thread m00t...

but at the same time, stopping the cycle could mean that you could personally learn how to make good lunches or good dinners and have left overs for lunch... i know you said it wouldn't work with your schedule, but if you want it bad enough, i'm sure you'd find the time... or you can just tell winnie to stop cooking doong goo with rice and the black noodle stuff that looks liek hair haha

[nature boy]

eh? i posed a this or that. i don't see why what i think makes it moot.

and lol, that's exactly the stuff that i'm talking about. black hair. take that to lunch with a bunch of koreans with their stereotypical awesome lunches and see how you feel about it haha.

[Duncan]

it makes it moot because it seems like you already made up your mind that you'd rather eat out than bring any sort of lunch unless it was cooked by a red headed girl named wendy... haha

all i got for lunch in highschool was a toonie... it was barely enough to buy one crappy cafeteria burger or a small basket of fries... it may have been slightly better than that black hair crap, but at least you had enough to eat haha

[nature boy]

the point of this or that isn't to convince, it's to talk. i might as well never say anything to you ever if what you said makes sense then (because you have your mind made up about a lot of stuff even if doesn't make any sense).

i brought sandwiches for lunch in high school. until i started dating a chick who bought me lunch everyday lolz.

[Duncan]

lol... that's the way to go haha... too bad my chick doesn't cook lol

[nature boy]

it was a pretty sweet deal. i think i still had my lunch in my locker but i just ate it when i got home.

[Duncan]

i hear ethan brings his lunch to school and then back home afterschool regularly because he doesn't bother eating haha

[nature boy]

exactly what i used to do when i was his age. i was too busy playing with my friends to eat.

[Duncan]

lets hope puberty comes with a vengeance for him

[nature boy]

you mean so he'll be a normal size?

[Duncan]

lol yea
