When I carried lunches to the office, I would take five Tupperware containers of last week's leftovers, filled and frozen as we cleaned the dinner table each night. Stack them in the fridge and nuke one for lunch each day. Take a new batch of lunches on Sunday afternoon when I drive the car with my week's worth of office clothes. That way I never rode in the morning with office clothes getting crumpled, or food getting rancid, in my pannier. I washed the container and took it home each afternoon, along with that day's used shirt, socks, and BVDs.
At my current $DAYJOB, I don't take leftovers to the office any more. The company
cafeterias are just fine
Actually both. After the first time I started putting my name on what I take for lunch but it still happens from time to time. I have yet to see anyone eat the same brand or variety I do, otherwise I could see it being a case of mistaken identity. It is ridiculous to steal something home made from someone else. You don't know how good or fresh it is.
