Featured Question: Lunch Break
Do you bring or buy your lunch during the work week? How much money do you spend on food consumed during working hours?

Bring lunch? Buy lunch? While I don't work for an über-cool, trendy buzz-worthy company like Google, Apple, Microsoft or any other such everybody-knows-them firm, when it comes to corporate culture, the organization I work for is world class indeed.
Especially when it's time to strap on the feedbag so I spend about "zero point zero" dollars on lunch and in many cases, dinner.
Here's a few reasons why:
All the dark-roasted coffee beans you can grind an fully stocked cupboards, pantries, fridges, & freezers...
Regularly scheduled catered lunches...
Seasonal cookouts and barbecues on our garden patio...
To-die-for dinners (and deserts) in the finest restaurants...
Private dinner parties in once-in-a-lifetime locations...
Fine dining on the road...
Have you ever seen a fruit cup like this?
These amazing free meals make the long days, limited free time, and often grueling travel schedule a little more bearable.
And the waistline a little more girthy; I think I gained twelve pounds just reminiscing about these meals!

My lunches are tuna or chicken sandwiches brown bagged..:(
Don't get me wrong, for a loooong time it was bologna sandwiches, snack-packs, and the old-school cheese & crackers with the plastic "spreader" (and never enough cheese) in a brown bag or Thermos lunch-bag. And worse, scraping change from the seats and floor of the car to buy a "po-boy" from the lunch wagon as it rolled through the job site.
I also spent years in the restaurant business where you're usually lucky if you get enough time to choke down half a meal that you were allowed to purchase for like 15-20% off.
It's moments like this that make me realize that I've ended up with a pretty good job with some pretty nice perks.
I'm usually too busy to take a real lunch break and often end up quickly wolfing down a plateful of whatever's available so I can get back to my office and try to catch up.
Mrs. Tude thinks I'm nuts because I always come home from trips with pictures of food but that damned fruit cup is an absolute culinary masterpiece!
