This year for lunch at school I mostly just drink Carnation Instant Breakfast. It takes far less time than more conventional lunches and it’s easy to pack. I drink three packages and use less milk than is called for. My meal ends up being around 600 calories, which isn’t too bad. A 400 calorie Healthy Choice frozen dinner would be more healthy, but it would cost more and take a long time to heat in the microwave. Mixing and gulping Carnation takes less than five minutes. Then I can get back to trying to stay ahead of my schoolwork.
I need about a cup and a half of milk for my lunch. My favorite container is a Tupperware thing Beth gave me. She gave it to me for some other use, but I can’t remember now what that was. It makes a great milk holder. When I forget it at school, I have several back-ups. In the picture below, they’re assembled behind the Tupperware cup. The colorful cup to the right is what I take to school to mix my Carnation in. I got it at a KFC in St. Maarten. It’s fun to use such an exotic cup for my lunch every day. It’s like I’m having lunch in the Caribbean.

Ja, mon, you be havin’ some chicken from the Colonel?
Look at all those different containers! I think you should challenge yourself to mix and drink Carnation out of every vessel in your kitchen. Start with that crock-pot thing in the sink, please?
Gravy. That’s what I was thinking.
But, I mix my Morning Frappaccino in mine every day. And it takes a cup and a half of milk also. What are we? Related?
How long do you leave those up there?! (Reference yesterday’s post about a certain feline on the kitchen counters, and now that milk is involved…I see trouble a’brewin’!)
