Carpenter tired of sandwichs?

Question

My boyfriend is carpenter and he's getting tired of eating sandwich every day for lunch. Do you have any ideas?

Answer 1

Burritos!!!

Basically, beans, rice, salsa and some kind of chopped up meat wrapped in a tortilla and then wrap it in foil so it won't fall apart.

PS. If you are feeling real generous, if you make them hot in the morning and then wrap them in foil, they are usually still warm by lunchtime!

Answer 2

COLD CUT APPETIZERS

2 slices ham, cut lengthwise into 3 strips
2 bologna slices, cut in 3 strips
3 pepperoni strips, cut in half lengthwise
2 slice American cheese, cut into 4 strips

Start with ham. Make a tight roll. Roll the bologna strip around the ham, and so on. Save the pepperoni for last. Pierce with a toothpick to hold the roll together. Serve to the kids as an appetizer instead of lunch. Or, in lieu of a sandwich in the school lunch for those kids who don't like sandwiches because of the bread. Just drop them in a baggie. They can be made with any combination of cold cuts.

There are plenty of other ideas at the link below, but this appealed to me as it could wrap around other fillings, and wrap in lettuce cups, Iceberg.
You may also get an idea of my thinking with these rolls
Pin Wheels.
If possible get a loaf of Caterers Sliced Bread. It is sliced length ways.
Spread with butter or margarine then lay your fillings across the bread. Removing the crusts will make them easier to roll. Cut roll in 3 or 4 pieces.

Make some wraps for him.
Get Large soft tortilla's at the supermarket.
Roll leftovers with lettuce and tomato and salad dressing.

Answer 8

Thank you for asking this question, my husband is a carpenter also and I too have this dilema. It is way too hot to have anything milk based and they have no microwaves or anything like that to heat anything so I feel your pain.....

Answer 9

if he has another thermos, then you can send all sorts of foor, like soups, stews, and such. chef salads would be a good choice, just remember to pack the dressing in a seperate container
