Lunch with Annabel

For a while Annabel was buying her lunch.

But whenever there is something good for dinner, the first question from Annabel is whether she can take some in her lunch.

Last night Mom made her trademark goulash.

Oh boy, Annabel wanted to know if she could take some in her lunch.

Now Mom and I know that she does not have access to a microwave, so the thought of room temperature goulash does not sound good to us, but of course Grandmom agreed.

So we went through all of our butter tubs and assorted plastic containers looking for just the right size to hold a lunch size portion of goulash.

But Annabel decided she also wanted to take the left over cabbage.

So this is what Annabel packed for lunch today:

1. Plastic container of goulash, heated in the microwave this morning, but expected to be cold again by lunch.
2. Plastic container of cabbage, again heated in the microwave, but expected to be cold, but definitely has the smell of cooked cabbage!
3. A baggie of hot Cheetos.
4. A candy cane.
5. The last few pieces of gummy strawberry candy from the Chinese store.

Well a lunch as good as that draws some attention, so Grace convinces her to pack some goodies for her too. So Grace added in:
1. One baggie of hot Cheetos.
2. A serving of seaweed.

Blech!!!

It was all so good that it would no longer fit in her cute little purse that my friend Lori gave her. Now it is in a large, economy plastic Wal Mart bag.
