Number of swap partners:1
Description:

The concept here is to open a box and you have lunch.

You will have 1 partner.

To that partner you mail

1 microwaveable food that you just add water to. You have to be able to cook it in the container it is sold in. (example, instant soup noodles, mac n cheese, hamburger helper, that comes in a microwaveable cup / bowl.)

1 instant drink mix, just add to water.

1 dessert which can be anything from cookies to candy bar.

1 pretty tea towel or dish towel to use a place cloth.

After you receive your package DON'T EAT IT!!!!!!!!!. Open it up and rate it, but do not eat it.

Wait until May 1st and let's have lunch together.

Wait until lunchtime in your time zone. That way can say we all had lunch together that day.

If you want to add anything additional items that you can think of that makes it a lunch to go, that is fine to as long as you include the items listed above.

If you want to read your partners profile and build their lunch to a favorite, it's OK.

Whatever you add is fine as long as it includes the above items.

If you have a lot of food allergies then this probably isn't the swap for you because pre-packaged foods are limited and have way too many ingredients in small print to read. Most of your instant drink mixes have aspartame, splenda or other manufactured sweeteners.

Newbies are welcome, no flakers.

IF you flake someone will POST IT on the forum and your name will go on 'THE LIST", YOU WILL BE OUTED AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

So who want's to meet me for lunch????

Arrrrgh....I'm afraid I'll eat it...too soon. I have no will power...none....but I'll think about it...cute idea.

CraftDiva4 04/ 6/2009 #

I love this idea! I ususally bring my just add water lunches most days and eat alone in my office. I'm looking forward to having lunch with friends!

timeerkat 04/ 7/2009 #

I'm in! I am vegetarian, so please no products with chicken/beef/fish/lamb/pork, or animal stocks or fats. (I do eat eggs and dairy, though, so something like mac-n-cheese would be just fine.) I also can't eat anything spicy. (Sorry for being so difficult!)

BVMtnMom 04/ 8/2009 #

The more the merrier, thanks to all of ya'll for signing up.

Timeerkat, I have found at the Dollar Stores, more and more rice dishes that are meatless. So it should be OK.

I myself can't stand green peas and square carrots, but they are a staple in most of the soups. So I pick them out before I add water, and it's no problem. Square carrots, do they grow them in a box? It just ain't right.

oo rice dishes i love rice...and spicy things...but am fine with whatever i get :)

O can the drink be a bottled like flavored water or does it have to be a packet of something to mix with water?

niecedenise 04/ 9/2009 #

I would think it would be too difficult to mail the liquid in the bottle. Plus the post office frowns upon liquids in the mail.

I dont care for spicy, but I will try most anything.

I think this is a great idea!! .. Heathly Choice has some great "just add water" dishes, that is low in fat and very tasty, that way you get to eat a really yummy dessert.lol

misumisu22 04/10/2009 #

I am so excited for this swap!! I have no allergies and I love all types of food. This will be sooooooooooooooooo fun.

BVMtnMom 04/10/2009 #

I am waiting on it to let me assign partners. Don't know what the hold up is but will do it as soon as it let's me.

MY POST TO LEAH'S3GIRLS:

You must be a mind reader. I love the towel, I hope one day to do my kitchen in the coffee cup theme. I also got Pasta Alfredo, large pack of Country Time lemonade (also my favorite) and to die for Hot Fudge Brownie warm delight. I will be fat and sassy at our lunch. Thank you

timeerkat 04/25/2009 #

To luckycharms:

Absolutely LOVING my package! Nutty Bars are one of my all time favorites! Plus loads of drink options, and the towel and placemat are adorable! And major kudos for sticking with the vegetarian-friendly entree.

Can't wait to have lunch with y'all on the 1st!

niecedenise 04/29/2009 #

I got mine! A cup a noodles, drink stick, and a dark chocolate Dove bar to eat. Also the silverware, a placemat and a blue teacup-teapot theme dishtowel.

HoneyBunny 04/30/2009 #

Well, my partner is partially suspended now and pm'd me three weeks ago that she sent. I have yet to see a package and she is now not answering my pm. Sad, I guess I have to miss lunch with you ladies! :(

timeerkat 04/30/2009 #

I'll eat mine in honor of you, HoneyBunny. =(

I hope my partner got hers in time! I haven't received a rating yet that she did, but I see she hasn't been on swapbot for a few days so I'll remain optimistic.

I'll take a picture and post it here tomorrow of my (and HoneyBunny's) delicious lunch!

HoneyBunny 05/ 1/2009 #

Yay timeerkat, thank you! Have a yummy lunch.
