Grab-n-go lunch options?

I shamefully admit something.... the Lush family is uber lazy when it comes to making lunches to take to work. We both have to be at work at 7:30 so we sleep in to the last possible minute, making the 3-5 minutes it might take to throw together a leftover lunch or put some lunchmeat between two slices of bread way too much work. That leads to me typically not bringing anything, because I can go out and get something but Mr. Lush is stuck at his job for his 30 minute lunch, so he has to bring something. Luckily, he's not a picky eater, however, MSG doesn't agree with him, so frozen dinners are pretty much out.
We are not planners like Lucy, so we don't think or make time to prepare a lunch in the evening, or if we do its far and few between. So he is left with grab-n-go options, remembering his work kitchen in pretty nonexistent- think dormroom.
However, luckily for us, more and more self-contained meals have been popping up. What a wonderful country, eh? See below for some frequent options in Mr. Lush's lunchbox, with a new addition we haven't tried yet-the Healthy Choice pasta. Before you feel too sorry for him, we usually do have fresh fruit on hand, as well as yogurt and relatively healthy breakfast bars, so its not like he's living on Easy Mac.
But, if you have any other options, please, do share.....perhaps I'm missing them.

So, a blind squirrel does find a nut now and then....

Well, I'm happy to report a mini-success in my blind tasting. Tuesday at Casa Luce we brought sushi and had some blind wines courtesy of Lucy, and she suggested I blog about my success.

Of course, we had sparkling wine and it was yummy. I guessed it was a US sparkling cuvee, thinking perhaps it was Gloria Ferrar, one of Lucy's standby's. It wasn't, but it was a US sparkling- Domaine Ste. Michelle, which was profiled in Lucy's blog. Our other wine was fruity with just a bit of sweetness it in, I guessed a Gewurztraminer Pinot Gris blend. It was a Gewurztraminer Marsanne blend. I would've never guessed the Marsanne, but I'm happy I got the Gewurztraminer part right.

So, I got some close to right, I suppose that counts as a little something? I will admit, I did have a bit of insider knowledge-I knew Lucy wouldn't serve wines that wouldn't go well with sushi so I had the ability to narrow down the options. Alas, it appears I do better in whites than reds in general, but that might be because there are less white varietals that I have access to?

I'm attending a blind tasting this Friday, wish me luck!

Shove it ... on your bumper

I have to start this post by reminding you that I enjoy clever advertising and slogans that gets to its target audience. Remember my post earlier this year about the meatarian ad? Ok, so keep that in mind. The other day I saw this bumper sticker and laughed out loud, because it took me just a second to get it.

In my search to find it, I ran across some others that I found to be clever. I tried to be fair and include some from both parties that made me laugh.
