    Just did some prawns on the George Forman at work, Out of date tomorrow. Nicely seasoned and some fruit.


    I get the graze snacks a couple of times a month. One of them for later.


    I bring no CC/DC or money to work anymore as I just don't need it. ;-]

  • Well done everyone.
    I've been doing this for years, apart from the occasional work lunch out. I make pasta & rice based dinners in bulk and have them piled up in my freezer at home. I defrost them overnight for lunch the next day.
