I agree with your former roommate, hence the "I hate the digestion process" comment.
(damn wussy British sensabilities I was born with)

I do my trail mix and fruit for the snacks and seaweed? *sign of the cross*

I love brown rice, but when it comes to convenience and good flavor, I go with buckwheat (kasha) and/or couscous. Those things get cooked in less than 10 minutes. I cooked a load of either, then put them in ziploc bags in the freezer. I take a bag out every day, still frozen and put it in containers with other stuff (brocolli, cooked animal remains and stuff.) Simple stuff.

kasha f'king owns! Throw some protien in it (not from pee-pee!) and you're good to go. Nice and bland and digestible.

Post edilble kasha recipes, pls. I tried and tried, but I couldn't make that stuff taste good.

Bulgur on the other hand - yum. It takes 20 min or so to make, keeps well, can be substituted for rice, and has about twice the fibre of brown rice (horribly hippy link for nutritional profile: http://www.sunnylandmills.com/health.html) I cook it with a bullion cube for tasty as well.

I'm sorry, I think you're totally awesome and all, but WHY do you always cue in on the "how do wash gi?" "what's for dinner?" "I can't untangle my hair!" threads!?!

anyhow, stand by for kasha recipies (it's not supposed to taste like anything but glorified cardboard)...

I hate going to the store and trying to plan out the food I will need for lunch each day, trying to balance out my meals, intake the right quantities of the right nutriants, have them actually taste good and not sit heavy.

I keep trying to change things around at lunch:
pasta
salads
wraps
grilled chicken
vegetables

I like eating brown rice but hate trying to cook it and bring it to work -OR- try and cook it at work.

I stumbled across this at the store last week and gave it a whirl:
http://www.minuterice.com/products/d...tritionalfacts

pre-portioned brown rice packs that are ready in a minute.

It has a hell of a lot more sodium then I would care for (175mg vs. 10% of that with normal brown rice) but the convience factor makes them nice to have in a quick meal emergency and I couple it with this:
I usually will mix some Vegetable Bouillon in my rice so that ups the sodium factor.

The flavor isn't bad, the texture and consistancy aren't bad and the convience is nice for quick lunch packing.

HEY NOOB!!!! WE HAVE A PRODUCT REVIEW FORUM!!!!!!!ELEVEN!!!

...coz I'm a thirtysomething wife and mother of two, who spends a lot of time doing laundry and making food for my family? Hey, truthfully, I kinda suck at the martial arts thing, so I contribute to the site in my personal specialties. Maybe I should change my style field to Mom-Fu.

Yep, that was about it. Toasted cardboard, sometime soggy. Blech!
