What was your childhood lunch box- bag or metal? What was your favorite made-from home...?

...lunch? Do you still have the Box?
I can recall having two metal lunch boxes when I was a child with television characters on it, yet I only recall only one of the TV shows. It was "Bonanza", but I don't remember ever watching the TV show-so why did I get the lunch box?

My regular lunch was Peanut Butter & Jelly made with Wonder Bread bread--you know the one that had 12 vitamins baked into every slice to build strong bones! Along with the PJ sandwich, my mom would include a baggie of potato chips & some chocolate milk in the supplied Bonanza thermos bottle. Somewhere, I still have that Bonanza lunch box, but the thermos is no where to be found.

What was your lunch box- what TV show did it depict? What was your favorite school lunch that your parent made for you. Did you buy lunch at school? what was your favorite meal at school? Mine was at Thanksgiving when they made a real Turkey feast.

Well its time to go back to school-what are you serving up your child for lunch and will it be in a brown bag/metal box?

Answer
...was literally a box. One of those flat type cartons that four six-packs of soda comes in.

My grandmother would pick me up after school and she would have made me a bologna and Miracle Whip sandwich (on Home Pride wheat bread), paired with a snack sized bag of Frito-Lay Fritos, a few bunches of green grapes, and a small bottle of Coke. For dessert, I had Snack-Pack chocolate pudding. It was the "bestest" lunch ever, not only because it had all of my favorite foods, but because my grandmother would make it for me, bring it to me, and let me eat it in the car on the way home. It was cool. 8)

When I got into junior high and high school, I bought my lunches. My favorite lunch was the taco salad. It had REAL lettuce, REAL tomatoes, REAL beans, REAL salsa. It was one of the few things on the menu that wasn't made of TupperFood (plastic-y, tasteless, textureless, worthless food like the pizza or the Salisbury steak - bleah) and was reasonably priced. Plus, they had to make it fresh (while-you-wait), so I knew that it hadn't been sitting out in the kitchen heat for 2 hours.

I don't have kids, but my nephews are not in the "lunch box" crowd. They take their lunches in brown sacks (their mother is all about reduce, reuse, recycle), and it's usually a turkey sandwich, carrots, a few slices of cheese, and milk or a bottle of water.

What can i pack for lunch for my high school kids?

High School in Australia??!?

V

Hi, so I just moved to Australia from North America and my first day of school in Australia is in a couple of days. I just wanted to know how it is, like what do you do on the first day and what is a typical day in school like. In north America, it was different cuz we didn't have to wear uniforms and would go from class to class for the different subjects, is it like that in Australia too or is it just one class all year? And also, I just bought all these exercise books and notebooks, do I have to carry all that everyday or do they have lockers to keep them in? And is it strict or is it lenient in terms of studying and work? Im very nervous plzz help thanks.

Answer
Hey there :)

I'm a senior australian highschool student and I have to tell you, each school is different. But basically no you are not in the same class all year, you move from class to class and there are 2 breaks (recess and lunch) and usually there is homeroom class in the morning and afternoon. Some schools have lockers, but mine doesn't so we carry around a school bag with everything in it all day. What school do you go to? Look it up online and it may have some information.

And in terms of strictness, i will let you in on a little secret, the higher the grade the more fun teachers are. Like in year 7 they will be strict and stuff, but in year 11, you can have a laugh with them and not doing homework would be normal to them so they won't make THAT much of a big deal out of it.

Also don't expect any science fairs or cheerleading or big football teams, cause that's america.

OH and most importantly, in Australia, the social system is very different, it's not like in america with the jocks and the populars, and the computer geeks, it may seem like that at first but you'll realise that if you are friendly with the kids that seem to be popular they will be nice back. Sure there will be the geeks but they can be cool sometimes, and it depends on the kids in the grades, but bullying shouldn't be as bad as it is in america.

I really hope you have a good year, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's a good year for me too, 1 year left for me :D

Good Luck.

(P.S first impressions aren't that important)

brisbane state high school?

Giggle

So I'm moving to Australia and was wondering a couple of stuff about my (probably) new school. Do you have to have their lunch or can you bring your own food and do you have to buy their school bag and stationary? Also, what's the atmosphere like there?

Answer
Lunch is never provided in Australia schools - cafeterias are unheard of here. You either bring your own or you buy it at the school tuckshop/canteen.

BSHS has a strict uniform policy and i think you would need to use one of their school bags.

You always buy your own stationEry in Australian state schools and can use whatever you wish as long as it is appropriate for the task.

BSHS is an excellent school and everyone I've known who went there has loved it - my kids had several friends there over about a 20 year period and I very much doubt if anything has changed since then. It is Brisbane's only selective government high school and nearly everyone who attends greatly values the opportunity to be there. The school has high standards and you will be expected to work hard and achieve well. If your entry was on a selective basis (rather than automatic because you live in the small catchment area) you will lose your place if you don't meet expectations in your field of excellence

Tips on Eating a Quick and Healthy Lunch

* Stock up on lunch possibilities when you shop for groceries. Think simple -- a loaf of whole wheat bread and a jar of peanut butter; a package of corn tortillas, a can of black beans, and some fresh tomatoes; frozen veggie burgers, whole grain hamburger buns, and a jar of roasted sweet peppers. Throw together a few of your favorite ingredients, and see what happens!
* On days when you buy a sandwich, go to a place that'll make one to order. Ask for turkey or roast beef, extra tomatoes and onions, and only a smidge of mayonnaise. Better yet, opt for mustard. Don't get tuna if it's mixed with lots of mayo. By skipping that eggy, oily spread, you'll cut back the fat and cholesterol significantly.
* Prepare lunch items the night before right after dinner. This saves on clean-up time. Store food properly. In the morning pack foods in the lunch box.
* Donât forget food safety. If refrigeration is not available, use insulated lunch boxes or bags with frozen ice or gel packs.
* Make your dessert a nutritious part of your lunch. Use fresh fruits (melon, grapes, apple slices) instead of candy bars or high fat cookies.
