This is also a slightly crazy week here. My husband has class 2 nights this week and I will be gone for lunches 3 days. If all works out as planned, we will both only be eating 1 meal out. I have a few others that I can make ahead (the plan for tonight) and have ready to use as meals in lunch boxes. Taking out lunches with us is not a normal part of our routine any more, as my husband is usually able to come home for lunch. I had forgotten the different thinking it takes to make meals ahead of time and not rely on sandwiches alone.
