Page B12 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 8, 1993 KIDS AND FOOD Quest for the ultimate lunc OTHING YET In- vented can match the convenience of a sandwich. With the “lunch season” started up, again, demand for information on plan- ning school lunches and snacks is high. ; Every year, parenis become desperate for. a way to make nutritious-foods delicious and: ap- pealing to their kids. My favourite resource is one called "Lunches ta Go". Its got lots and Jots of lunch ideas that kids love: suggesticns from all over the world. If your lunch im- aginations get stumped, phone the Skeena Health Unit for a copy of “Lunches to Go", ° There’s cool ideas for warmer days, hol ideas- for cooler days, and “instead. of. a sandwich" ideas. There’s also great suggestions for packing a safe lunch, to reduce food poisoning risk. Fixing lunches ahead-(try after dinner) and. refrigerating. them overnight is a.good idea. Freez- ing a juice tetra-pack is just like adding a ice block to keep a lunch cold. Or, if youre packing Meat sandwiches, you can freeze them + they'll be. thawed in time for lunch, and keep the rest of the food cool too. Thermoses (thermi?) are the only way to keep hot foods hol, If Channel 10 guide Wednesday, Sept. 8 9:05 p.m, — Concerts in the Park #2: Solutions, Big Bark and the Howlers, Catch 22, Rock ’n Roll Dinosaurs.
