1 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Hi. This is Laura Vandercamp. I'm a mother of five, 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: an author, journalist, and speaker. And this is Sarah Hartunger. 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm a mother of three, a practicing physician and blogger. 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: On the side, we are two working parents who love 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: our careers and our families. Welcome to best of both worlds. 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: Here we talk about how real women manage work, family, 7 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: and time for fun. From figuring out childcare to mapping 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: out long term career goals. We want you to get 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: the most out of life. Welcome to best of both worlds. 10 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: This is Laura. This is episode two hundred and seventy five, 11 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: which is airing in early November twenty twenty two. We 12 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: are going to be talking all things lunch. Let's do lunch, both, 13 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: how to use a lunch break well, and what to eat. 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: Lunch can be this absolutely wonderful thing. It can also 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: be boring and forgettable. So we want everyone to upgrade 16 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: their lunch break right. So, Sarah, before we get into that, though, 17 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: you tried out one of the tranquility by Tuesday rules. Yes, 18 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: I was so excited to discuss this because I guess 19 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: it's a rule that I've put a little of resistance 20 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: to and Okay, one of the TBT rules is to 21 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: plan the week on Fridays, and of course you all 22 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: know I love planning the week. I highly endorse the 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: planning the week part. But I generally do a lot 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: of my personal planning on Sundays, including my family meal planning. 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: But that means that a lot of times I'm kind 26 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: of juggling. I do grocery delivery these days, and I'm 27 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: kind of juggling when I want the groceries to come, 28 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: and it's like never a good time. And I happen 29 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: to have kind of a gift from above or something 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: of a very slow call week I was on call. 31 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: It's still stressful when you're on call, but there were 32 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: some days that there just wasn't as much stuff going on, 33 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: and particularly on Friday, as I felt like I had 34 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: tied up many loose ends, I was just sort of 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: waiting for patients to arrive, and I was like, you 36 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: know what, I could plan the week. And I think 37 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: I was particularly excited about doing this because when was 38 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: on call over the weekend, so I wanted to clear 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: out the weekend and make it easier for myself. So 40 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: as a gift for my future self. I started to 41 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: do some of the planning, and then I just like 42 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: got on a roll. I did my meal planning. I 43 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: ordered groceries for that day, which meant that ar Nanni 44 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: helped me put them away instead of me having to 45 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: like grab them at seven am on a Sunday or 46 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: you know, whenever we've chosen to do that. And we 47 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: had food for the weekend, which we often don't. And 48 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: I also was able to kind of look farther ahead, 49 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: because as you've mentioned, you kind of want to look 50 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: at like the next weekend far enough in advance to 51 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: actually plan things. And I don't always get to that 52 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: next weekend planning on Sunday because I'm kind of just 53 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: barreling in on the essentials. So I was like, oh, 54 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: we're free that day, Like, let's see if I can 55 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: arrange a playdate for that Sunday. So I have to say, like, 56 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: I don't always have such expansive swaths of time on Friday, 57 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: but I think that with my new schedule, I'm more 58 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: likely to have them more often. And I think this 59 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: was a great use of time, and it did allow 60 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: the weekend to feel a little bit more open and relaxing. 61 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: And so I really enjoyed it. Yay. So here we have, 62 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: you know, time planning guru, and she thought planning on 63 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: Friday's work too, so heartily endorsed. I love Friday planning. 64 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: It really is the best. You could think about your 65 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: lunches for the week on Friday too, which is our 66 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: segue into lunch as a topic. So Sarah as the 67 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: representative here of somebody who goes into an office at 68 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: least fairly frequently, why don't you start about what lunch 69 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: looks like for you. Yeah, So I go into an 70 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: office three days a week, and I don't see that 71 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: changing anytime soon. So three of my days are pretty structured, 72 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: and my lunchtime is pretty well defined. Usually my last 73 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: morning patient is like eleven thirty and my first afternoon patient. 74 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes it'll be scheduled for one, but they're not really 75 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: in the room by one, so it's like one ten, 76 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: So I have like a decent gap there, although that 77 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: sounds more generous than it is, because I always want 78 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: to finish all my notes from the morning before heading 79 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: into the afternoon, because you know how it is anyway, 80 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: So that is kind of like my current structure of 81 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: how my workday, lunch breaks, work, but usually I can 82 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: get done with my charts by twelve fifteen, sometimes twelve 83 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: thirty at the worst. So I usually do have like 84 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: at least forty minutes to myself, which is great. And 85 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: I think you know that not every physician has that. 86 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: I absolutely acknowledge that. But I think some people tell 87 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: themselves a story like I never have any time, and 88 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: it might just be that, like some days you don't 89 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: have time and some days you are going to have 90 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: more time, And you know, are there ways you can 91 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: increase your efficiency by like chart prepping. I kind of 92 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: do treasure that time so it motivates me. If there's 93 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: like a second of downtime, I'm like pre doing my 94 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: chart of a patient that's going to come in later 95 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: that morning, et cetera. So there are ways you can 96 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: try to manufacture and protect it. Again, I know it's 97 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: not doable for everyone, but you can work towards it anyway. 98 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: So I used to tell myself a story that like 99 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to do anything during that time, where 100 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: like you are somehow like not allowed to leave your 101 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: office or you can only go into the cafeteria. I 102 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know where these stories even came from. 103 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: No one ever said that, But during COVID it actually 104 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: was when I was like, well, we can't eat with anybody, 105 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: so what can I do with this time? And I 106 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: started to realize there were so many different options. I mean, 107 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: at this point, we'll talk about the food later, but 108 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: a lot of times the eating part is fairly minimal 109 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: part of that time, and I will like read a 110 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: novel during that time. I will go for a walk. 111 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: If it was a non run day, I can be 112 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: motivating to close my rings on my Apple watch a 113 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: little bit, hashtag upholder whatever anyway, so sometimes that will 114 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: And also it's just nice to get out if you've 115 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: been kind of like in this air conditioned environment all day, 116 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: to feel the sun on you. So I'll take a 117 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: walk right in the blocks around my clinic basically, which 118 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: is not the most scenic, but it's safe and it's fine. 119 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: Or I will just like read blogs, cats up with 120 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: my feedly. I have napped on the office floor before 121 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: on a really rough day, which actually can be quite rejuvenating. 122 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: Or every once in a while, I will like not 123 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: write a blog post that morning because I know I'll 124 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: have time later and I will write my blog post 125 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: during the lunch hour, So yeah, that's that's kind of 126 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: like what I I tend to use that time for 127 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,119 Speaker 1: these days, And there are things you do not wish 128 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: to do on your lunch break as well. Yes, I 129 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: have to say in my leadership role, a lot of 130 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: times I would have to like lead a twelve pm 131 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: meeting because that's when physicians are free to meet. But 132 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: I actually it's sort of a problematic thing both to 133 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: lead the meeting and to be in the meeting, because 134 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: it sends a message that you don't get any break 135 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: and like you have to go straight from your patients 136 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: to like engaging in this meeting to your patients. So 137 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 1: I don't actually think it's a wonderful time for meetings 138 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: to happen. And I hated when I had to lead 139 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: a faculty meeting where everyone was distracted because they were 140 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: like trying to eat, but also like when was I 141 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: supposed to eat? Like I was seeing patients right up 142 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: until the second then I had to completely switch gears, 143 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: especially if it was on zoom, I couldn't even see anyone, 144 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: and then write at one o'clock when I was done, 145 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: I had to see patients again. It was completely exhausting. 146 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: I did it so many times. I don't know why 147 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,799 Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't know, like think of some other solutions, 148 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: because it's actually really really hard to do that. I 149 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: can see that. Yeah, I mean, well, just the awkwardness 150 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: of eating while trying to lead a meeting, or like 151 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: even being in a meeting and eating, I don't know, 152 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: it's just a which you know, if you're in a restaurant, 153 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: you eat in front of other people, but it's a 154 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: little weirder when you're on a computer screen. I don't know, Oh, 155 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: it's so much weirder. No, it's I'm leading a meeting. 156 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: I'm definitely not eating, which means I'm like starving where 157 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: I have to like snarf a protein bar in like 158 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: two seconds. And then the people that are like watching 159 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: the meeting if they're eating, I totally understand if they 160 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: want to turn their screens off. I've been in some 161 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: situations where they're like everyone must have their screen on, 162 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm not doing it. I'm not like 163 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: eating on camera, like I just I mean some people 164 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: that may not bother them, but like I'm not that person. 165 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, and you know, I'm an extrovert, but my 166 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: patient centered job is just talking to people. Actually both 167 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: parts of my job, like when I would have to 168 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: do like residency interviews, it's just talking literally, like running 169 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: my mouth all day and not having that midday break 170 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: where I can just like stop for a second. Is 171 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: just even for me who likes to talk, it's a lot. 172 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: It's a lot. I wouldn't like it, but I'm more introverted, 173 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: so I guess I can tell you it sounds like 174 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: pretty bad to me. I thought this was a fun topic. 175 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: I read a book recently. It's called Box Lunch Lifestyle 176 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: by Cheryl Johnson, and what she does. She advocates bringing 177 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: yourself a real, healthy meal from home. This is especially 178 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: targeted for people who are in offices and get you know, 179 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: thirty forty minutes right for your lunch break. So people 180 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,239 Speaker 1: like Sarah, and she says, you know, bring yourself something 181 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: from home that is healthy, like use real silverware, you know, 182 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: make yourself feel fancy if you'd like, and then use 183 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: the other half of your lunch break to do something 184 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: that is advancing you towards your personal goals. So the 185 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: idea is, you know, if it was thirty minutes. You 186 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: could spend fifteen minutes eating your healthy lunch from home 187 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: and then fifteen minutes learning a foreign language with duo lingo, 188 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: or reading a novel, or reading a self development book, 189 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: doing some sort of spiritual practice, some quick hobby you 190 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: might have. You could do a little bit of sketching 191 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: or drawing or taking photographs or knitting or whatever it 192 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: is that you want to do in that fifteen minute. 193 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: And obviously fifteen minutes is not huge at all, but 194 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: it's kind of about changing your mental model. Just as 195 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 1: Sarah was talking about. The idea is you do have 196 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: some time for yourself. It may not be a huge amount, 197 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: but you have some amount. And if you consciously take 198 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of that time for your own goals, 199 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: you change the narrative of having no say over your life. 200 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: And as for the part about bringing the food from home, 201 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 1: it's just practical, like people can lose a lot of 202 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: time and transition of going to get their food and 203 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: like waiting in a line to pay for it or 204 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: to pick it up or to you know, even if 205 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: it's like a cafeteria you have downstairs, or a restaurant 206 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: that's in the basement of your building, Like there's still 207 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: that transaction cost of getting there, getting the food, paying 208 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: for it, bringing it back, and eating it. And it's 209 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: leave alone the fact that it may not be as 210 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: healthy as what you could bring from home. So anyway, 211 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: that's why she suggests bringing it from home. Now, I 212 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: will say, of course, like often lunch can be a 213 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: time for networking too, so you might not want to 214 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: do this every day. Maybe you do three days a 215 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: week of the box lunch lifestyle, two days a week 216 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: where you go with colleagues to that cafeteria or restaurant 217 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: in the basement or whatever it happens to be, and 218 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: use it consciously, like don't just go to the place, 219 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: like you grab three colleagues and go chat with them 220 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: and use that time. Obviously, working for myself, things are 221 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: totally different. I tend to think of noon as roughly lunchtime. 222 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: And then partly that's just if my husband and I 223 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: are both working from home, we might both aim to 224 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: take the break then and so you can chat with 225 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: each other briefly over lunch. I will say, it doesn't 226 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: happen all the time, because it's not like either of 227 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: us will protect it, Like if you need to call 228 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: somebody at noon or whatever. You know, we're not going 229 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: to see like no, no, no, I can't do it 230 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: like that. That's my eating time. But you know, once 231 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: or twice a week it might happen. Sometimes I will 232 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: read for a little bit or tack on a walk. 233 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: You know. Often I'm in the bad habit of just 234 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: reading the emails. I didn't get too earlier over lunch, 235 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: but sometimes I will go for my walk that I 236 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: need to get through before three pm. So we're going 237 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: to take a quick as break here and then we'll 238 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: get back to the eating part, like what should we 239 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: eat for lunch? Well, we are back with our let's 240 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: do lunch episode. We are talking all things lunch, what 241 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: to do on your lunch break, what is feasible, and 242 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: also what to eat. So Sarah, what are you eating 243 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: for lunch these days? Well, lots of stuff. First, I 244 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: just need to take a moment to say how cute 245 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: it is that even once in a while you and 246 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: your husband get to have lunch together at home. I 247 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: just think that's so nice. And I bet there are 248 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: other people now that working from home is more common, 249 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: that get to enjoy that as well. So just a 250 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: reminder that if you can do that, try to do 251 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: that every once in a while. What a great opportunity. 252 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: I do not get to do that because my husband 253 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: is never home, but that's okay, all right, So clinic days, 254 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: I would say I range between. My first choice is 255 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: always leftovers for two reasons. Number one, I don't want 256 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: to waste anything, so if I eat it for lunch, 257 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: that means I'm using it up, which is great. But 258 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: also because leftovers are tasty and usually fairly healthy, like 259 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 1: usually they have some kind of a protein and a 260 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: vegetable in them, so they're They're always a good choice. 261 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: The only time I'm not going to take leftovers if 262 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: we have them is if they're earmarked for the next 263 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: night's dinner, because we do like to eat leftovers for 264 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: dinner sometimes and I don't want to like steal from 265 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: them with lunch, So that's option A. Option B tends 266 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: to be what my husband ironically calls lunch of Champions 267 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: because it's super not but like an Amy's burrito or 268 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: a egg wrap. I think it's the Evol brand that 269 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: I buy from the grocery store. They're frozen, you microwave 270 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: them in two minutes, and then I pair that with 271 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: like baby carrots and like a cheese stick. So it 272 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: is like the simplest thing ever. But it's like enough, 273 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: and it's fine and it's warm, and you know what, 274 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: when you're really hungry and you want to get out 275 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: for your walk, it's an efficient way to eat lunch. 276 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: Number three. I do get takeouts sometimes, I would say 277 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: once a week to once every two weeks, definitely more 278 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: than once a week, but because it is super expensive. 279 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: So the reason I won't just drive and pick it 280 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: up is actually because of our parking situation where I work. 281 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: If I move my car, I may not find a 282 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: spot ever again. So it's kind of annoying because otherwise 283 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: I would just like go get it. Maybe that could 284 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: be part of my walk or something, but whatever. Sometimes 285 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm doing notes and it'll be eleven forty and I'll 286 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: be like starting to get hungry, and I'll be like, 287 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to order my take out 288 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: my door dash right now, and that way, by the 289 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: time I'm done these notes, someone will be here with 290 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: my lunch. Like how incredibly luxurious is that? And it's 291 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: the best and yes, it costs like twenty five dollars. 292 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: When I do that for one lunch, but sometimes there'll 293 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: be enough leftovers that it can be two lunches. Like 294 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: where did I order from recently? Oh? It was like 295 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: I got a sandwich and a salad that was like 296 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: from this local place, but it was like they were 297 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: both kind of like full size, So it ended up 298 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: being two days, which is not quite as indulgent. So yes, 299 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: treating myself to take out is something that I do. 300 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: It comes out of my allowance money. In case anyone wonders, 301 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: my husband has the same allowance if he wants to 302 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: get takeout, and then my four the option would be 303 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: our hospital cafeteria. I don't know. It's free for physicians 304 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: where I work, so you would think I would take 305 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: advantage of it more. But I don't always feel like 306 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,599 Speaker 1: talking to anyone, as I've mentioned, and I don't like 307 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: the food there very much. It's not that I have 308 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: an objection to it. I just don't find stuff I 309 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: like very often, and so it's kind of like my 310 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: last resort. But I do actually think I like my colleagues, 311 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: and I think listening to this episode, I'm getting inspired, Like, 312 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: you know, every other Friday, we could do like let's 313 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: all go to the cafeteria together and have like a 314 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: social lunch. Like I don't know why we don't do that. 315 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: Part of it is that people work in different satellites, 316 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: so not everybody is there and I can never remember 317 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: who's there on any different day. But I could figure 318 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: this out, it would be doable. So maybe I will 319 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: start doing that every once in a while as a 320 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: social event. Now, as for aspirational lunch ideas, you know 321 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: you were thinking maybe there would be like Mason jar 322 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: as you could post on Instagram that sort of thing. Well, 323 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the funny thing. Those are my actual lunches. 324 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: And then like there's the things that I'm always like like, ooh, 325 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: that looks so fun. And I will say my home 326 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: lunch is because I want to hear about your home lunches. 327 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: At home, I feel like I can get more fancy. 328 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: Like I'll often do eggs, like an eggs sandwich, like 329 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: something that's like toasted and like that you can't really 330 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: eat very easily at work. Is something that I'll do 331 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: for home. A tuna melt, an egg sandwich, runny egg 332 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: yolks on top of leftovers, you know, stuff like that. 333 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: And then there's this stuff that I see that I'm 334 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: jealous of but have never actually done, which is like 335 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: the salads in Mason Jars, because I've heard it works 336 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: amazing and nothing gets soggy and you can do a 337 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: whole week's worth, and I don't know, I someday I'm 338 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: gonna try it and I will report back. And then 339 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: the other thing is like I never kind of do 340 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: a giant batch of something with the plan to just 341 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: eat it for lunches, but maybe I should because we 342 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: don't always have leftovers. And then i'd have like instant leftovers. 343 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: And there are so many very easy recipes that you 344 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: could throw in the slow cooker or just like throw 345 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: in a pot of chili and then just plan to 346 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: bring it all week. So yeah, and then oh yeah, 347 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: oh go ahead. Well yeah, I would say if you 348 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: could make chili maybe, or somebody could make chili on Monday, 349 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: right as like your Monday dinner, and then that could 350 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: purposefully be the leftovers for the rest of the week, right, yes, 351 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: where we like plan not to eat it as leftovers 352 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: and we make like a double or triple batch, so 353 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: it's like there for the rest of the week. Yeah, 354 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: that's probably the most practical. And then finally, I do 355 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: think I should at some point by like some frozen 356 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: meals to just stick in the freezer, to just live 357 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: there at work for those rare days that like I 358 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: think I'm going to go to the cafeteria, but there's 359 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: a raging thunderstorm and I don't feel like getting struck 360 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: by lightning on the way there or things like that. Yeah, well, 361 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: especially if you can't move your car. I'm laughing at it. 362 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: So where do your patients park? I mean, it's just 363 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: there's separate areas for it. It is. There's actually a 364 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: valet system for the patients. And I used to be 365 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: able to park right on the right building. But our 366 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: hospital is gorgeous. It's beautiful, and it's expanded from four 367 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: floors to eight floors. We've actually just opened. It's like 368 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: amazing because I've seen it, I've seen it grow like 369 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: and now we have this gorgeous building. But they kind 370 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: of decimated the parking lot in the meantime. Yeah, and 371 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: then you have more offices but fewer spaces. That's exactly. 372 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: I think. Eventually there is going to be more parking, 373 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: which will be super exciting, But we're still in this 374 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: transitional phase. But okay, yeah, the hospital looks I mean amazing, 375 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: it's donning. That's great, that's great. Yeah, that's uh no, 376 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: I think that. Yeah, I've been in a bit of 377 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: a lunch rut at times. I do the leftover things obviously, 378 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: like that is the easiest thing for anyone. And you know, 379 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,479 Speaker 1: if you are cooking, cook extra, please, you know, avail 380 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: yourself of that opportunity, and then you have lunch for 381 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: the next few days if you want. Sometimes our meal kits, 382 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: it does make extra. So this week we do have extra. 383 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: I have some pork tacos. I have you know, Vietnamese 384 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: kind of curry that's that's really good with some rice noodles. 385 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: That makes great leftovers, probably even better than it is 386 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: the first day because all the flavors kind of seep 387 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: together a little bit more. It's pretty exciting. But if 388 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: we don't have those, it's been hard to figure out 389 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: because I don't know if anyone's ever analyzed this unless 390 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: you are not eating dairy products, But how many lunch 391 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: options seem to involve cheese in some way, shape or form. 392 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: That most sandwiches seem to have cheese on them, or 393 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, quick things like casadillas. So I just had 394 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: to figure out, like, what would I want that is 395 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: interesting that doesn't involve dairy. So two things I have 396 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: been doing of late. One is a curry chicken salad. 397 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: So when we were at we went a trip to 398 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: the Virgin Islands this summer and they had sort of 399 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: limited restaurant options at this resort. It's still the COVID thing, 400 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure more probably the employment situation that I can 401 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: get people to work, but they had very limited options. 402 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: But one place was a takeout where they had a 403 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: couple sandwiches and one of them was this really good 404 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: curry chicken salad sandwich. I was like, oh, I bet 405 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: I could make that, and so I have been making it. 406 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: It's pretty easy as long as I have the ingredients 407 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: at home, so I just use canned chicken. You can 408 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: buy cans of chicken, just like you would buy cans 409 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: of tuna. Probably it would be cheaper and better to 410 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: just grill some chicken breasts and cut those up and 411 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: have them in the fridge, but I have not gotten 412 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: myself to that point. Similarly as Sarah has not made 413 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: her chili. It needs to be minimal mental load, so 414 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: you just use the canned chicken, put in slivered almonds, grapes, 415 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: celery mayo, and then mix in curry powder and that 416 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: makes curry chicken salad. And then you can either eat 417 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: it with bread or crackers, depending on you know, if 418 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: you wish to add the carb. If you don't wish 419 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 1: to add the carb, then you do not so really good. 420 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: And then I've also been having this hot ham and 421 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: spicy mayo sandwich. So this takes a little bit more time. 422 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: But again if you're working from home, you can turn 423 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: on the oven, like go back and take a call, 424 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: put something in, go back and do your email, go 425 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: back out and get it. So I make bread out 426 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: of two little we have ready made pizza dough because 427 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: we have Friday night Pizza Night that we make your 428 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: own pizza, so we always have frozen pizza dough, and 429 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 1: so if one is defrosted, I can take chunks of 430 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: that and just put it on a cookie sheet and 431 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: make two pieces of bread in essence, right, and I 432 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: put some olive oil and salt on it. So two 433 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: pieces of bread that I bake in the oven. And 434 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: then I put tomatoes, sliced ham, and chipotle mayo on it. 435 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: So I highly recommend for anyone else who is not 436 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: eating dairy products to invest in some interesting mayonnaises because 437 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: it can take the place of your pepper jack cheese. 438 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: So Chipotle Mayo, put it in the middle, then put 439 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: one piece of bread on top of the other, bake 440 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: for another two minutes, and I have a hot, yummy sandwich. 441 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: Did you make this? It sounds like a TikTok recipe, Like, 442 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: really make this up? Yeah, I made this up. Oh, 443 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: I feel like you should put it on TikTok. It's 444 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: going to go crazy. Well, I can't put a photo 445 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: on Instagram at some point of my like at home lunch. 446 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean you're often you want something hot, right, 447 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: and hot bread is like you don't normally get that 448 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: unless you're at a restaurant, and so it's it's actually 449 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: really tasty. It makes me feel very decadent in the 450 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: middle of the day. And then we always say, you know, 451 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,959 Speaker 1: we have the non dairy burritos. I don't you know, 452 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: we can have some guacamole with them or something, or 453 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: we can have a hot dog, you know, eat what 454 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: you can have with fruit. But yeah, it sounds like, 455 00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: you know, for people in office. I love your idea 456 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: of getting some frozen lunches if you have a fridge 457 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: or freezer, like put your name on them so your 458 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: colleagues don't take them, and then having you know, like 459 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: a bag of apples in your drawer or something like 460 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: you could totally just grab one of those in your 461 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: frozen lunch and that's that's a meal, right, Yes, great 462 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: emergency meal. Great emergency meal. People do that with things like, 463 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, string cheese as well. If you have spot 464 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: in the fridge, string cheese, boiled eggs, that would be 465 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: another thing like you do. I mean, this would be 466 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: a real sort of quick emergency lunch. But an apple, 467 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: string cheese, and a boiled egg be all things that 468 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: could easily go together and make protein and fruit. Sounds 469 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: like one of those Starbucks things that I get for 470 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: lunch sometimes. To forget about those oat boxes. Yeah, we 471 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: do have a Starbucks on it. Maybe it's just my cheapness, 472 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: but I always feel like I could have done that, 473 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: Like I could have, but I didn't, so I had 474 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: to get it at Starbucks with a oat milk cappuccino. 475 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: So that's yeah, that's what I probably wouldn't do. The 476 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: oat milk cappuccino on my own. So what are you 477 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: doing with the eggs though, like when you make the eggs, 478 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: like what is that egg meal? Oh? At home? Yeah, 479 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: oh my god, anything. I mean, my favorite is probably 480 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: just like an egg sandwich. Like so I'll just take 481 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: like and usually I'll do like open face, so like 482 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: I'll take half a bagel if we have like leftover, 483 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: like real bakery bagels. It's the best. Can everything one 484 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: and then I'll like do two eggs kind of like 485 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: runny and like shove it on top and then sorry, 486 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: put a slice of cheese on top, maybe some hot sauce, 487 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: carrots on the side. Oh, that's the best, super delicious. 488 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: I think it's like it hits that decadent like, ooh, 489 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: look what I get to eat in the middle of 490 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: the day. Thing that you're hot ham, which I'm telling 491 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: you it's gonna go viral. It's sound amazing hot ham 492 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: and spicy mao sandwich. You guys, you gotta try it. 493 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: Little tomatoes that makes it healthy? Oh yes, I can imagine. 494 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: Sun dried tomatoes could could be an interesting touch. Oh 495 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: that's it, and I bet you can just I'm sure 496 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: you just buy like little tens of sun dried the 497 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: ones packed in oil. They're excellent. Yeah, nice. Well, and 498 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: you could I mean you could expand it. You could 499 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: do turkey, right, just as long as you have something creamy, 500 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 1: some protein. Could do vegan meat, because you know what 501 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: it's getting if you're vegan. That bread it is probably 502 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: vegan and it was getting all toasty, so like to 503 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: some vegan meat and hummus in there. Ooh interesting. Yeah, 504 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: we could have all like so many variations, so many. 505 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: All right, well, there you go. That's our little gift 506 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: to you, our let's do lunch episode. If you go 507 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: out to lunch, do you have a set thing you order? No? 508 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean I'm like, yeah, I'll 509 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: just see what looks good. I'm a good orderer, like 510 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: I think my sister said the other day, She's like, 511 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: tell me what to get. You're always the best order, 512 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: And I'm like, that is the best compliment. So nope, nope. Yeah. 513 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: I used to get the chicken caesar salad because it 514 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: was like, I don't know if people have this experience 515 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: that you're having a business lunch, like if you spend 516 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: too much time looking at the menu, and you're not 517 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: there that long anyway, you're not talking with the other person, 518 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: so it's better to just have a go to item 519 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: that you always order. But then, of course, now I 520 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: can't eat the caesar salad with the creamy dressing, so 521 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: I often if they have a chicken like a chicken salad, 522 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: I'll do that, or a Greek salad, I can just 523 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: sort of pick the feedt off. I don't really go 524 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: to business lunches very often, although it sounds kind of fun. 525 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: But if I was going, I would look at the 526 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: menu ahead of time and then know what I was 527 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: going to get, so that I had a good choice. 528 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: But I also didn't have to waste any time or 529 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: look indecisive at the lunch. Yeah, or I just suggest 530 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: going to Asian cuisines because then they don't eat cheese, 531 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: So there you go. It all works. Yeah. Yeah, So 532 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: for our question, we wanted to do more of our 533 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: meal planning process. At this point, Sarah, can you talk 534 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: quickly through what you do as your meal planning. We're 535 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: moving here from lunch to meals broadly, but what are 536 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: you doing for your meal planning these So I don't 537 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: meal plan breakfast or lunch I just keep staples around. 538 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: I do sometimes do muffin Monday, which means on Sunday night, 539 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: I will like use a muffin mix and make a 540 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: muffins so we have them for Monday to make Monday 541 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: a little bit less painful for the kids because somehow 542 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: I've said this before, but like getting them to commit 543 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 1: to like what they're eating is a whole thing. But 544 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: I don't really meal plan those meals. Dinner. I do 545 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: meal plan sorry disclaimer, I usually use Preptish, which is 546 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: a best laid planned sponsor always though. Actually, in a 547 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: recent last couple of weeks, I just wanted, like really 548 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: like fun fall recipes and I've just been pulling them 549 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: off of this blog called how Sweet Eats. I usually 550 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: plan in some leftover days, so I picked, like, you know, 551 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: I'll pick three recipes. I'll write out the ingredients, I'll 552 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: write out my grocery list. I used to do this 553 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: on Saturday or Sunday, but hey, maybe I do it 554 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: on Fridays now. And I am all about the grocery 555 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: delivery basically for the week, so that we pretty much 556 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,479 Speaker 1: have everything we need for dinners, and then midway through 557 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: the weeks sometimes we need to do a little refresher 558 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: shop for just like produce and milk. Yeah, now that 559 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: sounds good. We don't have so much of a meal 560 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: plan percent we're still most of the time getting the 561 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: sun Basket kits two nights a week and so that 562 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: generally covers Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday is breakfast for dinner, 563 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: so that is eggs. Now, we've been doing waffles more 564 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: often than pancakes. Partly it's just that our crusties mixed. 565 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: The waffle mix is you could make it non dairy, 566 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: whereas the pancakes have buttermilk in them. I guess I'm 567 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: sure you can find ones that. But anyway, we or 568 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: make them myself. But we've been doing the waffles because 569 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: the kids like them better anyway, and bacon and fruit 570 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: and it's great, everyone will eat it. Thursday is kind 571 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: of the huh day, like we have to do if 572 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: something have to eat, but we always do something like 573 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,719 Speaker 1: pasta that's a pretty common one. Or sometimes we have 574 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 1: some sort of you know, meat we can unfreeze and 575 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: either cook in some way, shape or form for adults. 576 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 1: Sometimes I in the past have eaten out when I've 577 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: been with Alex at karate. I'll just go grab a 578 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: burrito or something nearby, and then Friday is make your 579 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: own pizza night. We always have the dough, which, as 580 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: we said, is part of my lunch now, but have 581 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: the pizzas and people can make those and that's a 582 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: pretty easy dinner too. So yeah, that means you only 583 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: have to think about really one meal per week, but 584 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: you don't plan it ahead. You just kind of like 585 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: assume you'll hug something rounds soon we'll have something. I mean, 586 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: nobody's starved yet. The thing is the kids are often 587 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: eating something different than we are anyway. Although the past 588 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: two nights they have had some component of the sun 589 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: Basket kit. They had rice noodles and chicken and bakchoi, 590 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: and we're okay with that. They just you know, didn't 591 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: want the spicy Vietnamese curry sauce. And then they had 592 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: pork tacos. I kept off some of the moho marinade 593 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: and then they could have the pork and whatever, sour cream, cheese, guacamole. 594 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: As you load those things up, so you're not even 595 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: tasting anything that's in the burrito other than that the taco. 596 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: I feel like they're getting less picky. I don't know 597 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: about that, no, but I mean those were pretty non 598 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: offensive like combinations. They are right, you know, if you 599 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: can't eat rice noodles, well, Sam was complaining. He's like, 600 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to eat his plate chicken. I'm like, okay, 601 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: you eat the curry. And the curry was a little spicy. 602 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: He puts soy sauce on his chicken. But yeah, there 603 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: you go, here you go. Yeah. So yeah, this has 604 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: been best of both worlds. We've been talking all things lunch. 605 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: Oh do we need a love of the week? Yes, okay, 606 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: eat her love of the remember, Oh yeah, I told 607 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: you mine in advance. Okay, already Wow, okay, so my 608 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: love of the week. I just want to be super 609 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: basic and uncool or something. But Taylor Swift, oh yes. 610 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: So first of all, when this airs, I guess her 611 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: new album will have come out. It's coming out like 612 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: late October. Super excited for it. My kids are excited 613 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: for it. But the reason I like Taylor Swift is 614 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: I finally found an artist my children legitimately like and 615 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: ask for that. I like, really really like, like before 616 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: we had imagined dragons and I'm like tolerating it. And 617 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: like they like to a lipa and like, I don't know, 618 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: Genevieve likes Miley Cyrus, but I really like Taylor Swift 619 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: and they really like Taylor Swift. So we've been listening 620 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: to a mix of Taylor in the morning on the 621 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: way to school and I sing along and it makes 622 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: me so happy that they actually like it. And when 623 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: she comes to South Florida, just watch out because we 624 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: will have to go to our first family concert. Oh 625 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: that sounds amazing. It's gonna be awesome. She'd better go 626 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: start touring there. My love of the week, I'm going 627 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: to say the slide doors on minivans, which you know, 628 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: minivans have many wonderful attributes, but one of them is 629 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: that your kids cannot hit the cars next to them 630 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: in the parking lot right that they are just opening 631 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: the door and it slides and you're within the thing. 632 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: You know, we haven't had anyone bang into something yet, 633 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: but it's like my nightmare that we are going to 634 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: bang into somebody's car. And I'm always being like, watch 635 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: how you open that, or here, let me open that door. 636 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: If we're too close with a minivan, you don't have 637 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: to do that. But sadly, I think you know we're 638 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: we we need to replace our minivan at some point soon, 639 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: and we were hoping to just get another Toyota Siena, 640 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: right because it has all wheel drive. It's a good minivan. 641 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: We need all wheel drive because we live on a 642 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: hill in a place where it snows, so we'll be 643 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hill if we're not careful. 644 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: You can't get one. Oh can you get on like 645 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: a waiting list to get one. That's what the dealerships 646 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: around here wanted to do. They wanted us to put 647 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: down a deposit, which is fine, like I'd be willing 648 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,719 Speaker 1: to do that. Said, it would be twelve months at 649 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: least before we could get the top end on Sienna, 650 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: and we had to commit to sell them ours. Well 651 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: that part you probably don't mind. Well, oh, you might 652 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: want it for a kid, Okay, never mind, right. And 653 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: not only that, it was that we had to you know, 654 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: they were saying, we want to buy it now, and 655 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: we'll give you a in between car for that. Because 656 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: everyone wants one of these, you can't buy them. You 657 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: cannot buy So they wanted our old Sienna so they 658 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: could resell it right immediately to somebody, and you know, 659 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: they give us another minivan, but one of the ones 660 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't have all wheel drive and doesn't have the 661 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: entertainment package. So it's like, no, you don't. That was 662 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: going to be the hot ticket car. Why is it? Why? 663 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: What's up with this Toyota? Like we're gonna wind up 664 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: not buying another Toyota car because they can't get us 665 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: a car that We have a Highlander Hybrid and I 666 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: love it so much, but it does not solve the 667 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: door banging problem. But we've trained our kids, like my 668 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: husband's kind of obsessed with about that particular issue, so 669 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: I think they really know not to bang the cars. Yeah, 670 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: the only other minivan that has all wheel drive is 671 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: like the Chrysler one, and I don't know, we weren't 672 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: that you can get an electric one. So we're thinking, 673 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: I may we may have to wind up with one 674 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: of the big sevs, which is not really what I 675 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: wanted to do. But unless I'm willing to put this 676 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: off for another two years till like this all shakes 677 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: out and Toyota stops acting like they have the Crown jewels, 678 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: maybe there'll be a self driving one by that. Maybe 679 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know anyway, there's a bit 680 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: of a diversion from my love of the week. But 681 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: maybe whenever we get if we did manage to get 682 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: in New Sienna, that will be your new love. There 683 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: you go, my new love. All right. Well, this has 684 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: been best of both worlds.
