Remember: if you are packing and sending a lunch... don't forget a:
@--;---- love note!!
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
I have a similar list taped inside my baking cupboard door... when I
can't figure out what to fix, I just look on this list... it sparks my
imagination to come up with a new and different lunch.
Go ahead... Copy it... deleting your dislikes and adding your family
favourites !
Then tape the list inside your cupboard alongside your family
favourite recipes, favourite pictures and reminders!
It will help you when you are in a quandary as to what to make!
