Lunch: Lots to Talk About

Zero Waste Lunch Booth at the Mar Vista Farmers’ Market Sunday, April 3rd

zero-waste-lunch

I honestly don’t know why it to me so long to get on the thermos stick, perhaps it was the scary glass that filled the ones from the 70s?  But thermos have come a long way since the days of broken glass.  And once they got into our household routine, lunches came a long way too.  You see, my boys love stews, pastas, stir-fries, pot-pies - sandwiches? not so much.  So the arrival of these great thermos from Reuseit.com opened up whole new leftover horizons, and now Alexander is known for his “Epic Lunches” at the local middle school.

This Sunday, April 3rd, I’ll be talking thermos and much more at the Mar Vista Famers’ Market with my good friend Sarah Auerswald of MarVistaMom.com fame.  We’ll have some show and tell about packing Zero Waste Lunches at the Green Committee Booth, plus ideas for what to pack so that our kids actually get some good nutrition at the mid-day meal.  Come stop by and say hello - we’d love to see you there!
