I can't tell you how many times, in my former life, I fell victim to the coworker sneak. The casual announcement that the ominous "they" are picking up Chinese for lunch. Even if I could say no, and often I did, by the time I was on my way home Chinese food was all I could think of. (Same goes with pizza, sandwiches, and a variety of other items.) In the end, I would stop at some place and then order to my hearts whim, only to have WAY too many containers when I left. Eat some and pack the rest! I would vow, only to forget that the moment the house settled and I could gorge in private!
This time around I have to sets of "stock options" - one at home, and as I am lucky enough to have a full size freezer at my dispose at work, one at work. I have various "healthy" frozen options that cover a spectrum of cuisine!
If I happen to forget my lunch or overestimate what I have left to make a sandwich at work, I no longer have an excuse to go looking for the crowd and order along!
Those spring rolls look really good.
