1. Do you usually bring lunch or buy it? Why?
--I usually bring it. It's cheaper, and it's easier to have a low-fat, low-cal, healthy lunch that way. I actually keep most of my lunch supplies at work: hummus, a bag of baby carrots, and a box of Kavli thin crisp crackers. I bring fruit.
2. Do you usually eat lunch with people? Why or why not? Would you like this to be different?
--No. I like eating at my desk, because when I work through lunch, I can spend my hour break doing other things (like knitting!), and not have part of it taken up by eating.
3. What's your favourite thing to eat for lunch? Favourite place to go or thing to do?
--A lot of stuff that's bad for me! I like sushi a lot, though. But on my lunch BREAK, I like to knit outside in the sunshine. :)
4. What was lunchtime typically like for you as a child?
--When my mom was still making my lunch, I would bring a sandwich (often American cheese and yellow mustard with lettuce), a piece of fruit, and some graham crackers with a thermos of milk. My mom would sign me up to buy lunch at school twice a week. It was 85 cents when I was really little. I tended to like the days when we had chicken patty sandwiches or pasta with meatballs. I hated the tacos and the veal parmesan, which were horrendous. My first school used to always give us a little hunk of cheese with our lunch. I sat with my friends and we chatted, swapped stuff sometimes, and went to recess together afterwards or before, depending on which lunch shift we had. We played on the jungle gym or down in a little grove of trees.
5. Tell us about a memorable lunch experience you've had.
--Hmm. Lunch is rarely memorable. I've had some nice lunch dates, though. At my temp job here at MIT, my then-boss took a few of us out for lunch on her last day with MIT. She paid, the food was good, we got to have booze as well, and then she let me go home right after lunch. That was pretty sweet. My current boss also treated me and my two teammates to lunch at Legal last Friday to celebrate my promotion. It's nice to be appreciated.
