Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

packed lunch for lunch and tea. help!

(5 Posts)
Rice salad (rice, mixed veg, spring onions, french dressing, raisins and peanuts) always travels well, and doesn't go off when waiting till tea time to be eaten

Flapjack (v filling - wasn't there a cheesy version in the recipes on here too ?)

Calzone (folded pizza, can be batch cooked, frozen and then put in lunch box to defrost during the day)

I wouldn't do anything with mayo for tea as it can go a bit funny looking if warm
cold pizza?
couscous salad
potato salad
quiche/spanish omelette
dips and veg sticks
slice of cold pie/pasty?

Hope she is able to keep lunch and tea separate and doesnt eat it all in one go! (I did this as a child...)

Mine have gone with crackers, small pots of ham and chicken slices, cucumber and carrot today. Neither are keen on sandwiches and it's a healthier version of the novelty of dairylea lunchables! Pasta salad works well too.
dd1 is on a v v v long school trip next week with the choir. they need lunch and tea in their packed lunch, plus snacks (but no choc allowed).

any ideas? as dont want to just give her sandwiches twice.

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
