Fear not, fair friends, Down Home Diner gallantly came to the Rescue! I availed myself of several of their takeout items last week, and so far, all have met with approval. If you have any experience with teens and tweens you'll know that approval is doled out sparingly at best, so I considered this experiment a real success. Some of the greatest hits from last week's lunchbox menu include:
DHD's Fried Chicken--we love it hot, but it's delicious cold, too!
Wraps and Sandwiches--with a selection to please even the choosiest of brownbaggers. My kids are not great fans of sandwiches, but they ate these.
As the mercury drops, a hearty soup in a thermos is a great option, (though even on a warmish Wednesday my daughter enjoyed her black eyed pea with and a biscuit on the side.)
Of course, we didn't forget fresh fruit from Reading Terminal Market's produce merchants or treats from the bakers. I fear, with these sumptuous repasts, my kids will wish me an extended convalescence.
Do you have any trade secrets for lunchbox ooohs and ahhhs?
