"Wow, you packed a fancy lunch. I don't cook. In fact, when I have kids...

[eyesroll]

...they'll get grilled cheese, Kraft mac or hot dogs every night." :eyes:

For the record, my lunch was as follows: A tortilla spread with black beans, olives and tomatoes, then rolled up and cut into pinwheels (to fit in the box), baby carrots, grapes, a peach (also cut up to fit in the box) and a piece of candy. It's packed in a bento box; I guess that makes it "fancy."

This woman also has that "get the party started" song from Pink as her (loud) ringtone. I now know she has dinner plans at La Perla and will be consuming "a fucking big ass margarita."

God, I hate people sometimes.

2. What do you have against margaritas?

They go great with black bean pinwheels, grapes and peaches!

YUM :P

[eyesroll]

3. I have nothing against margaritas. However, I'm in a relatively quiet room

and I have something against knowing everyone's business.

[Sugar Smack]

6. I had a boss once who'd comment on my lunch every day.

After a while, I had to go eat elsewhere.

[RebelOne]

8. I have a co-worker who comments on my lunch every day.

I'm a vegetarian, so she wants to know what I am eating. Some people just don't realize that vegetarians don't just eat rabbit food.

[Sugar Smack]

13. ACK- And why does it always feel so invasive?

There are SO MANY things that can slide without comment, and so many people who MUST editorialize their every thought.

I've learned to just blink at them. :pals:

[Nickster]

12. LoL. My former boss always used to stare at amazement at my lunch

as if she just couldn't believe that I ate chicken or a salad or whatever. She used to ask me if it hurt me to eat chicken. Sigh....I used to ask her if she wanted any of my tofu recipes, that blew her mind.

[Sugar Smack]

15. Earthling. Chicken-salad-eating Earthling.

:rofl:

[Nickster]

18. Heh heh. n/t

[Sugar Smack]

17. Yummers.

You're making me want to walk to my favorite Mex. Restaurant, El Rodeo! :9

[MrCoffee]

4. Sterilize this woman now.

Poor fat kids.

[hotforteacher]

24. BWA-HAHAHAHA!!!

:rofl:

I'll even pitch in for the ligation.

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. To be honest, I probably would have said the same thing about the lunch.

But I do serve my kids better dinners than that. ;)

You should make MrG's lunch for him. Poor baby gets a PB and J or tuna salad sandwich, an apple, chips and a thermos of coffee in a plastic lunch box. :hi:

On edit: I completely and totally agree with you on having to listen to loudmouthed people talk on their cellphones as if we are being blessed with hearing their conversations.

[ThomCat]

7. It's amazing how inept people can be with food.

You have to wonder how they don't just die of malnutritian.

[HEyHEY]

9. You're not gonna make many friends at law school....

With that attitude you're packing around. :)

[deadparrot]

10. Those pinwheels sound yummy.

:9

[LSK]

23. what the hell is a pinwheel???

Some of us are not as advanced. Im still a microwave chef!

[eyesroll]

34. They don't really look like pinwheels -- it's just the tortilla rolled up,

with filling, then cut into 1-2 inch chunks. They look more like spirals, if you look at them cut-side up.

[xmas74]

11. What's so fancy about it?

(I'm not dissing you in the least bit, btw.)

I often make some sort of "speciality" sandwich for my daughter's lunch (I call it that because it's not the ordinary luncheon meat or PB and J), in season fruit and veggies and a homebaked good.

She's doing a great disservice to her kids if all she ever feeds them is grilled cheese, mac and cheese or hot dogs. It takes me no longer to cook what I do then it would to boil water for mac and cheese yet my daughter eats well.

[Richard Steele]

14. Yup-I could make that lunch as quick as I could make mac-n-cheese.

Good food doesn't HAVE to take any more time than boring crap.
Let's hope that woman never has kids.

[xmas74]

16. And it's healthier than mac and cheese.

My daughter always has healthy lunches-nothing prepackaged except for the occasional fruit roll up that she loves. I make cookies, bars or brownies once a week and pack them all up at once. I cut up the veggies the same day as the baked good and store them in water in the fridge.

Assembling every night takes less than five minutes total.

[eyesroll]

20. Not fancy in the least...nicely presented, perhaps, but let's face it:

It's the homemade equivalent of Taco Bell.

[xmas74]

21. True.

I guess that someone who feeds their kids nonstop hot dogs and mac and cheese would find it fancy.

[1gobluedem]

19. ...they'll get grilled cheese, Kraft mac or hot dogs every night."

My kids would love that. But..., unfortunately, it's not very balanced. We have one who would prefer to live on buttered noodles and M&Ms. When I suggested that maybe some green vegetables would be nice complement, she fixed me with a stern look and said "Hey. I'm an athlete. I need CARBS."

She was seven at the time.

22. You're not doing law school properly if you're eating

</oldleftylawyer>

[Fenris]

25. ...

:spank: but also :rofl:

[Richardo]

27. .

:spray:

[LSK]

28. ..

Isnt it her 1st week or something. Lets see how shes doing come November. :D

[jpgray]

30. A 65 business days latency sort of thing?

:P

[LSK]

31. or 24 business hours

:hide:

[jpgray]

32. That's what I was thinking of

At what point in her law school career will she develop a Leopold-grade chemical dependency?

[eyesroll]

33. Hey, I'm a stress cook.

I might be curled up in the fetal position wishing for a quick death for most of the day...but there will be cupcakes.

[Ramsey]

26. I can just see you

Rolling your eyes!

[Benfea]

29. Sounds like the women I tend to date.

Not the Pink ringtone part, the cooking-clueless part, which is perfectly fine with me since I can cook.

[SoyCat]

35. The secretary at my husband's former place of employment actually called

me complaining that I took the seeds out of his globe grapes. And how was this her business?
