Do you take a photo of the packed lunch you make each morning..

[robinpud]

becuase this woman does here and they are a tad more impressive than the shrivelled wrap I found in the freezer and shoved in ds's pack up today
click on the pictures and there is an explanation.

no pictures of lunchables though!

Bento boxes are so beautiful though - does anyone have a source for nice looking ones that aren't too expensive?

Anyway...by the time that lunch gets to school and has been bounced around in a school bag it's going to look a right mess! So there

how random! sushi and chicken nuggets!

Shmoo Mom is mad, but in a good way

She makes a living off her blog, so yeah, if I did, you'd better believe I'd take a photo of the flippin' lunch.

Ask her, you can add comments in her blog, perhaps you can report back and share the tips.

I reckon she does most of it the night before

OMG now I really feel worse! That vegan mum is a little sickly but her lunch boxes look lush. We did a month of a vegan diet here and the kids now cheer if we are having fish or chicken for tea.

But F&Z, if it's suhi, it would need to be fresh wouldn't it?

My money is on her being a raging insomniac.

suhi=sushi

my kids have a hot meal at school. it s far far more nutritious than any crap i can come up with.

Would sushi need to be fresh? She isn't using fish, just veggie ingredients, so I don't see why she couldn't make it the night before.

Her obsession with different types of vegan "cheese" does baffle and nauseate me, though

if you're in London they certainly used to sell bento boxes at Oriental City on the Edgeware road...

This is her job now. So I think that's why she's probably taking photos of it.

Her blog's lead to a book deal, public speaking engagements, interviews, etc.

Thanks MrsB

yes expat, but I used to look at her blog before she had the book deal etc and the lunchboxes were just as beautiful and painstaking then

don't be jealous frnny - I would rather be stuck in a lift with you than schmoo mum anyday!

OK, confession time:

I occassionally email my dh 'customer satisfaction' surveys, describing his packed lunch like a menu, and asking for scores on various criteria.

Really very sad - but I do like getting the questionaires back - and it gives me a weensy bit of smugness for posterity that very occasionally I can do rather cool lunchboxes too.

I also take digitial pics of any cool art work that me and Dd do together - nice to look back on it.

Kif that is hilarious, and very cute

ffs don't tell the rest of our dhs that you make beautiful lunches for yours, will you?

Thank you DT

however shmoo mom would probably have a spare lunchbox or two so at least you could while away the time by eating broccoli with a toffunaise dip

yeah - but bet she farts bad!

I though sushi had to be fresh for aesthetic reasons (not just health and safety for fish) - but am aware that I'm just carping out of jealousy.
