5 May

Had a big job on today, so had to make it with what was around.  Avocado, box milk, quiche (from function I was doing), baby bel cheese, cream cheese and rockmelon.  Easy!

3 May

So we have to buy the frankfurts in a vacuum bag of about 15, so you will notice we always have them 2 days in a row!  But I love these franks; they don;t have that artificial red colour and they are nice and smoothe with no grissly bits.  So in todays box we have franks and sauce, mandarine, box milk, red capsicum and roasted pumpkin.  Was roasting some pumpkin for a job I have on, so thought it would be an easy thing to pop in the lunchbox.

2 May

Coctail franks (we got to the butcher on the weekend!), with a tub of tomato sauce, box milk, mandarines, cornichons and red capsicums.  WE were at the markets at Frenches Forest on Sunday and this man was forcing these mandarine wedges on us for a tasting.  The mandarines looked big and I thought they would have heaps of pips so I refused but lulu landed up having three.  On the way back to the car she says to me "mummy, none of the mandarines the man gave me have pips in them".  Well back we went to see the man and sure enough they are a Japanese variety and have no pips.  So now Lulu will gladly have a mandarine in her lunchbox.  And I will too!

29 April

Yay!  As you can see I got to the shops!!!  So she got some cream cheese (she calls it dippie), red capsicum - to dip in the cream cheese hence the name - box milk, passionfruit (that easter bunny was very generous with his passionfruit!), rice crackers and mortadella ( or della as she calls it).  Lunchbox came back completely empty.

28 April

Still haven't made it to the shops as you can see - it's pretty much the same as yesterday with the addition of tomato sauce as requested for her sausage rolls!!!  So we have sausage rolls with tomato sauce, swiss cheese, box milk, passionfruit, carrots and cornichons  I think she didn't eat the olives the day before so I gave them a miss.

27 April - 1st day of Term 2!!

Well school is back, and we only arrived back from holidays late the night before, so it was a matter of what we had in the fridge and freezer!  The easter bunny brought Lulu passionfruit instead of eggs (they are her favourite!!) so we had some of those to include, box milk from the pantry, swiss cheese, cucumber and carrot, cornichons and olives and some sausage rolls.  Not bad for pulling it out of not having been shopping since before easter!
