seed oil, and some spicy sambal if you like it hot.)

carrots, chopped cilantro, sliced cucumbers, baked tofu, spinach leaves
onto the bread.

Practical
Lunchmaking Tips
- Don't forget to pack those
leftovers for lunch. Set your Laptop Lunch containers on the counter
during dinner cleanup, and fill them up as you go!
- Get those kids involved! Children can help wash or rinse their lunch
containers when they get home from school. It takes only a few minutes,
it reduces your workload, and it teaches kids to take responsibility
for themselves.
- Pack lunches the night before and keep them in the refrigerator
overnight.You'll have one less thing to think about in the morning.

What Works...Success
Stories
- "It took
me a while to realize that Laptop Lunches are modular. Now, when I
want to pack a large burrito, I leave out the two front containers.
When I want to pack one of those bulky sandwiches, I take out the
two larger containers. It works great!"
- "Our community
sponsors free beach concerts one evening a week during the summer.
They're so popular that parking is at a premium, and we often have
to walk quite a distance to the beach. I used to carry our dinner
in a large, awkward picnic basket and haul it down to the beach with
my cooler, beach chairs, blankets and, of course, the sand toys for
my two kids. However, this summer I decided to try something new.
I purchased four Laptop Lunch systems instead. Now we each carry our
own meal, which stays fresh inside the carrying case. Plus, when we
get home, the containers go right into the dishwasher. The kids (ages
6 and 9) can easily carry their dinner and a few sand toys, and my
husband and I can enjoy the leisurely walk to the beach!"
