You know when you pack a tuna sandwich in your or your husband/kids lunch and it is all soggy by the time you/they go to eat it? That's so annoying. One way to avoid that is to pack those ready made tuna packs, but those are pricey. Another way is to send the bread in a bag and the tuna in a plastic container, but you run the risk of not getting said container back for a while, if ever. I found a way to solve that in our house.
My husband won't take a lunch box and I know if I send any kind of container I'll be hard pressed to ever see it again. He says, he won't remember it and I'll get mad and yada yada...so what to do when he wants tuna.
I first came up with this idea after I packed him some tortilla chips but didn't include salsa and he asked me why on earth I'd do that.
So, the next day I put some salsa at the bottom of a little paper cup, some sour cream on top of that and then some shredded cheese. I wrote in marker on the side to "stir". It was a huge hit...the only complaint was that it was kind hard to dip the chips in the little cup. I told him to tip a bit out onto the chip. After all, beggars can't be choosers.
So I did the same when it came to tuna. I was tired of packing the standard sandwich and I'm sure he was sick of eating them so I did this to change it up a bit. My husband also likes a TON of mayo in his tuna, making it even soggier.
Mayo drenched Tuna.
Several little cups as it will still go through when sitting out until lunch time.
Covered in plastic wrap and then stuck inside yet another little cup to hold it in place. (I could tape it or something, but this is faster.)
Then stuck inside a ZIP top bag. MUST zip, the normal cheap folding ones he likes me to use would be a bad idea for this....
Make sure it sits upright in the lunch bag.
Bread in a separate bag ready to be turned into a sandwich when he's ready. Bye bye sogginess.
