Some time before, I needed to buy a good car for my organization but I did not have enough cash and couldn't buy something. Thank God my comrade adviced to take the home loans at creditors. Hence, I did that and used to be satisfied with my consolidation loan.

Worst Lunch Experience
written by RImom, February 15, 2010
I grew up with three brothers who LOVED liver paste on their sandwiches. My mom was a frugilista and got all our lunch boxes on sale and they were all the same color! As you can imagine they got mixed up often! You can imagine my horror as I open up my lunchbox expecting a nice cheese and ham sandwich, to find it had been mixed up with my brothers! To this day I cannot stand the smell of liver paste! yuuuuuk!

Tips on making school lunch simple
written by Hayley l., February 11, 2010
Hi! I freeze PB&J sandwiches so that they're defrosted and not a goopy smooshed mess by the time my daughter opens her lunchbag. Same thing for her juicebox. Helps keep other things in her lunch cold, too!

My worst school lunch experience was walking to the lunch table and tripping and spilling my lunch and my tips for making lunch simple is to always keep leftover chicken handy to add to a salad or pasta and to keep fruit on hand

My worst lunch experience was in elementary school. I brought salami for lunch (I liked it), and everyone made fun of me because it smelled and looked funny.

I really can't think of a really bad lunch experience. I simply have avoided lunch for much of my life. I skipped lunch everyday after the 8th grade until until probably my senior year of high school. At that point, I only ate because they began selling junk food like Little Debbie cakes and french fries that I could easily take outside to eat.

Nowadays I will bring light and healthy leftovers for lunch, like rice and veggies.

Make lunch easier
written by Amber Vasquez, February 09, 2010
I always prepare a lot of small things in little baggies on Sunday to just grab and throw into lunchboxes during the week! It makes life a lot less stressful!

My mom made me the same thing for lunch every day K-8. What she didn't know was that I was able to trade my healthy lunch of a PB&J sandwhich and apple for my friends fruit snacks and ham sandwhich/Lunchable.

One of the worst lunch experiences I ever had was when necessity required that I pack my own lunch and naively I filled it full of hard, crunchy items - ginger snaps, carrots and pretzels, among other things. I had had to skip lunch that morning, so I HAD to eat my lunch when the time came, and I spent the rest of the day with a tired, sore jaw from trying to chew so much hard food.

The real key to good lunches is to plan and cook ahead. You'll have more time and more energy to cook healthier and better-quality lunches that you'll feel good about eating.

My worst lunch experience was when I was in kindergarten and I spilled orange juice all over myself! And I smelled like OJ the rest of the day. Ugh.

My tip for making lunch simple? It's best to do it the night before... lol

My worst was when I was in 3rd grade and I remember my mom packed me a fish sandwich. I hated seafood and could not eat it so I just ate the banana. I didn't have breakfast because we were running late that morning which is why my mom put the fish instead of chicken in my lunch bucket. I was so hungry when i got home. I always pack my kids lunches the night before so that never happens to them

Worst School Lunch
written by Misty VanEpps, February 06, 2010
Oh i remember in elementary whenever the school would be making hot dogs it the smell of it would make me naseaus. it was so horrible, and i was forced to eat it.
to improve school lunches i think they should offer more natural foods rather than so much processed and fatty foods.

My worst lunch experience? I got to be "partners" for lunch with a popular girl who typically went home for lunch (back then you were allowed to do that.) I spilled my thermos of hot cocoa all over her baby pink angora sweater, and suffice it to say, we were never "partners" again after that.

my worst experience was mac n cheese - where the noodles, butter, and cheese were all seperated!
school lunches would be better if made with real, fresh, natural ingredients!

I was homeschooled, so I went with a friend to his public school one day. The school lunch that day was tomato soup with macaroni noodles floating in it! It was horrible.

Nasty lunch
written by Michelle Carter, February 03, 2010
The last day my daughter would get hot lunch was the day she found a fingernail in her soup. THe cook said she thought she went on the floor. After that the mention of hot lunch sent my daughter running to the bathroom

My Worst Lunch

My work lunch experience was when I packed my kids a nice lunch, placed it in their open lunchbox, and went upstairs to get ready. Only to find out that my dog helped herself to everyone's lunch. So much for being organized!

I still hate canned green beans because we ate the cafeteria food for elementary school lunch and they had the most awful green beans. I pack lunch for my daughter every day and always include a large bottle of water and an extra snack for play or chorus practice after school.

My worst lunch experience seemed to happen alot. I would open my lunchbox, only to find everything had leaked and was mixed up with the other things in the lunchbox...I hate when my food gets mixed up, so alot of times, it just went into the garbage.

Get back to basics with the 'Easy Lunchbox System' version of the good ol' brown paper bag. Reusing is not only responsible and economical, but often more healthy too. So go ahead, make packing that noon day meal a snap.

My worst lunch experience was when I was in elementary school. I opened my lunch box only to find it was empty! To make lunches simple. Ask the person you are packing what they would like in their lunch. That way it doesn't come back home the end of they day. Very Simple and cost saving!smilies/wink.gif
