What I Want

You know those little drive-up coffee places that have sprung up everywhere over the last ten years? I want something like that but with food. Food which is as cheap, quickly prepared, and appetizing as the coffee and coffee drinks those drive-up places sell. Because my stomach is still recovering and won't allow me to substitute coffee drinks for food nibbling at something while sitting at my desk is so not an option at the new job.
(Yes, a really bright person could probably figure out some way to ingest food before leaving the house. I think I need some intensive one-on-one tutoring there.)
ETA: I'm aware that drive-through fast food places have existed for some time. We don't have any locally which don't serve fairly nasty food in the morning. Hardee's had some decent stuff... they closed down here. Also, I want my food to be as portable and neatly consumed as a coffee drink. Yes, I am just randomly bitching on a Monday morning.

Date: 2006-06-12 02:13 pm (UTC)I get a bunch of zip lock baggies, some healthy type cereal (I usually use bran buds or something), some raisins and some nuts, put a serving size of each in a zip lock baggie, make a bunch of them and throw them in the cupboard. Then in the AM I grab a bag and usually eat it in the car. What i really need is to figure out a way to make it all stick together without giving myself botulism.
And if you didn't ask, please ignore all the above and substitute it with compassionate nodding and the occasional murmer of sympathy.

Anyway, solution, buy one of those wide-mouthed thermos/sport cups, and place ceral in the night before.. then in the morning just add milk and go...no spoon needed. [or whatever semi-liquid food you like].

Date: 2006-06-12 03:37 pm (UTC)I almost never, ever have them, because I a) rarely eat at McDonald's at all (perhaps three or four times a year), and b) almost never eat there in the morning. But I could probably eat five of those things in a sitting.
Anyway.
