I thought I was the only one who liked this type of samich. Nice to know, there are other "freaks" out there.

Dub,
Do you have access to a refrigerator at work? If you do, great. If not, than this works just as well. Those frozen Michalangello and Lean Cuisines are good for a boost. I've taken those to work with me a few times.

I stock up on them, and keep them in my freezer, then I just throw one in my lunch bag and keep it in the truck with me. By the time I get a break to eat, they're somewhat thawed out, and heat up quickly. I also pack along an apple or banana, or some other kind of fruit.

One thing that we see a lot of, in our EMS/ER lounges, and seem to be very popular with crews are, those Uncrustables. Those pre-made PB&Js. They are great for a quick "boost". Again, just keep them frozen at home, and throw them in a bag for later. By the time you want something, they're unfrozen.

Another thing we're seeing, are those "Mac and Cheese" cups. You can keep those in a bag, add a little water, "nuke" it for a couple of minutes, and you've got a fairly filling, quick meal.
