As lunch time rolls around and I prepare to enjoy the the meal I’ve brought from home, I realize that it wasn’t ever thus. There was a time when three days a week I’d be out for lunch with friends, peers, clients. I didn’t give it a thought.

“Where shall we go today?” was a regular question.

“Liberty Oak for some soup and a glass of wine?”

“Fisher’s Grille for a Reuben sandwich?”

“How about Ganache for a Ceasar Salad?”

But now I bring my lunch as well as some healthy snacks in a cool old stainless steel lunch kit that’s been around our house for years.

And I like it just fine.

Oh, I still have lunch out. Just not nearly as often. But there’s something satifying – as well as helpful with portion control – about packing my lunch and making the most out of last night’s left overs.

It got to wondering how many others are forgoing lunching out for lunching in?

So, that’s this week’s poll. Are you an “innie” or an “outie”?
