Lunch
Today, a cat picture lunch post. Tomorrow, we return to our regularly scheduled fannish topics.
Tomorrow I go back to working full-time hours after being part-time for July and August. (It's going to be such a shock to my system!) I am trying to save money by bringing my lunch with me most days of the week. I don't cook a lot and when I do, it's usually something that doesn't generate leftovers. So, I'm trying to figure out some fast, easy, and tasty lunches.
When I was growing up, I took my lunch to school most days. And I would only ever eat tuna sandwiches. Every day, for years and years, tuna sandwiches. Bread, mayo, tuna, and salt. It's still a big favourite of mine, but I don't think I can eat it more than two or three times a week right now.
What do you take to work for lunch? How much time do you spend making it? Is it really worth the bother?

Leftovers, either deliberately made (an extra burger, an extra chicken breast, an extra piece of fish) or the result of a large pot of soup or stew or spaghetti. Time spent making? Negligible for the main ingredient. Two minutes if I'm making a sandwich out of the leftovers.
Salad and tuna fish (not tuna salad per se. Bowl of salad plus small can or pouch of tuna on top.) Time spent making - done on the spot.
Sandwich purchased the night before. (Depends where I go, but I often go to a sub shop and get a variety of yummies.)
Leftover pizza or pizza purchased just for lunch.
Frozen meal of some kind. 6 minutes in office microwave.
As for it being worth the bother - there are no kosher places where I work. If I want to eat, I have to bring my own food anyway. And if I don't eat, I become an unpleasant snarly person. And I'm the receptionist. :)
