We do a lot of event over the course of the year. And a huge amount of them have delicious food offereingsin the form of food stands or food trucks. And that’s delicious. And convenient.

Some of the time.

Some of the time, you wait on line for half an hour for somthing that is ok at best,  you want something healthy and nothing is available, or you simply don’t want to spend money on a meal for everyone in your family.

What we generally do is put aside money for a treat (not nothing that we can make at home easily!) and bring our own food.

Now, bologna on Wonder  may be the stuff your ‘pack a lunch’ memories are founded on, chewing on the salty fluff while looking at food trucks is probably going to make you less satisfied.

My guys are going to UBCon this weekend. They are packing meals (as our son said ‘mom, you didn’t see the food prices!) So I will run a series of blog posts on the foods we’re making to make them feel just as spoiled as if they got special foods from the trucks.

And then they will spend the money they saved on a game or two.  🙂 Last year it was Affliction. I wonder what it will be this year.
