Suggestions include: Fruit — best choices include fresh or tinned fruit. Dried fruit is sticky and high in sugar, so have it occasionally. Vegetables — try vegetable sticks with dip or a small container with mixed vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, capsicum and cucumber.
Chips and packets of crisps are best left for parties and special occasions. Milk, yoghurt and custard — include a small drink of milk freeze overnight wrapped in a cloth in the lunch box. Fruit yoghurts should be kept cool in an insulated lunch box.
Dips, cheese and biscuits — pre-packaged or your own homemade versions of cheese and crackers are fine. Children enjoy mini packaged cheeses. Avoid sweet dips such as chocolate spreads. Different breads add interest — include a variety of bread, especially if children begin to lose interest in sandwiches. Try bread rolls, pita bread, flat bread, bagels, fruit loaf or buns, foccacias, scones, pikelets, muffins, crumpets, crispbreads, rice cakes or corn thins.
Vary the fillings — fillings can include vegemite or other yeast extract, peanut butter, cheese try different types , tuna, egg, sliced cold meats, baked beans, grated carrot and lettuce, chopped roast meat with pickles or chutney, and avocado. Dips like caviar taramosalata , eggplant, chickpea hommus , cucumber, yoghurt tzatziki or spinach also make good spreads.
Avoid chocolate spreads, jams and honey, and fatty meats like salami and strasbourg. Muffins and cakes — try making your own muffins and cakes as a great way to include more fruit and vegetables.
Examples include sultana, carrot, zucchini, banana or pumpkin. Dry Lunches may also carry an unpleasant odour which is because they may not have washed in several days. Dry Lunch Convention.

A glass of wine can push your tab way past your usual daily outlay.
On vacation, though? Yeah, bring on the wine. We can agree on that, right? What else do we have to do on vacation besides eat food, drink wine, read, people-watch, nap and get showered and ready for dinner?
The daylight is a vigilant watchdog, and when we are day-drinking on vacation or even over the weekend at home , we get a feeling of luxurious defiance. During the workweek, the daylight watchdog keeps us hemmed in, and that is usually the place we want to be — hemmed in — when we return to the office to make afternoon calls. There's also that possibility of a spontaneous drop-in from our boss's boss.
If smelling wine on our breath and noticing that we are a little looser than normal were not a big deal, more of us might enjoy a glass of wine with lunch. But it is a big deal. Drinking wine at lunch is just not a part of our culture — for better or worse.
Think about when you see people drinking wine at lunch. Immediately you take note of how they are dressed and how they are relating to each other. Is it a business meeting? Is it some kind of nonwork celebration? How loose are the people, and if they are in business attire, does it seem they are heading back to their offices?
