I just had some steak and frozen veggies with an apple.

This week I've had:
Thai Red Chicken Curry on a bed of thai noodles.
BLT salad and a fat-free yogurt for dessert.
Trail mix bar and raisans.

I do have the luxury of a microwave so I just stick whatever I want to eat in a lunchbox and take it to school.

For those of you who bring lunch, what kinds of things do you bring?


Nothing but the number for the pizza place. Wink

Actually, I sometimes bring fruit, yogurt, or milk for a snack. My co-workers are big on sandwiches and salad.

Thanking heaven that a Subway sandwich shop opened near my school. I dig Korean grub, but I get sick of rice and soup-based meals everyday. Nothing dynamic about it at all.

I like eating in the school cafeteria. The best thing about the food is all of the vegetables. I don't thing I'd be eating nearly as many vegetables if I had to wash, cut, and cook them myself.

I've been eating at our 'professor's cafeteria' regularily (5-7 meals a week) since last session. It's typical Korean food (rice, soup, usually fish, and different side dishes every day). It's hit or miss, but I don't mind. It's fairly cheap (3,000 won), though I can see others in this thread can eat for less. More than anything, it's convenient (2 floors above my office). I used to eat at the nearby resaurants, but I found I wasn't eating very healthy. I try not to eat too much rice, and load up on the veggie side dishes. That way I still leave the table full, but I haven't eaten too much carb-rich rice.

The teacher was just trying to make conversation, no need to snap at him or her for it.


I didn't snap I said it in a humorous tone. She thought it was pretty funny too. I'm not that rude, I just wanted her to know that the questions she was asking were kind of silly. I didn't give any smartassed comments when they asked me my favorite Korean foods. I wasn't offended by the questions, I just found them to be overly obvious.

If you're not supposed to drink the tap water, how is eating veggies washed in it okay (e.g. salads, Subway, etc.)?

Relax, the water wont kill you outright.
I wouldnt advise glugging it down by the glassful though.
