Snack time.. What do you have for snack friends? Since all of us are quite busy, no one recognized the time, snack time.Well are busy in our own works, so everyone are lazy to go out in the office to buy something to eat.So what we do was just look for what we can eat here. foods that we have in our cabinets/ lockers.We found bananas, bread (pandesal) with peanut butter fillings and few slice of watermelon from our boss, oh of course cookies from one of our colleague. So overall we were full by combining all the foods that we have here.

Wow, it's like a picnic! I envy your boss and your colleagues. LOL. Here, we seldom do that. We have different free time. We are lucky if one day all of us are free even for thirty minutes only. We all eat together. Our boss though don't like seeing us chitchatting on our break. He even removed the sofa so we could just sit on our monobloc chairs. :(

Sort of picnic I guess, as you have said.Our boss did bought few slices of watermelon that she will eat for lunch yet sister of her son in law invited her for a lunch in a nearby mall so the watermelon was just left in the ref during lunch. Then when she came back, she remembered the watermelon and offered it during our snack time since she can't eat it all. Good thing that we could chitchatting here during break time and we can hang out in the sofa in the reception area during break time.

Wow... that is really resourceful! At times I and my colleagues too find lazy to go out to eat. Just don't know where to go and what to eat. Long long time ago, we work in a factory where we need to drive out in order to find a restaurant for food. So, most of us just bring overnight leftover food and warm it up using the microwave oven for lunch. Some of our colleagues who are going out for lunch, we will asked them for a favor to buy packed food for us.

We don't really have a snack time but we eat small meals (which can be some fruit or soup as well) 4-6 times a day. This way our energy level stays the same. -Since we have our new diet nobody really wants to snack anymore or is in hunger/need for candies, chocolate etc. Sometime we eat a piece of cheese, instead of bread we eat rice-toast. Sometimes with cheese, sometimes with garlic mayonaise or just plain. We also do eat a salad of different kinds of fruit and once in a while whipped cream (without Sugar but with some vanille Sugar) on top.

Aha, there are times like that, when we have the desire to eat some snack and start rummaging the cupboard and refrigerator for anything edible. It will be good to have some dried fruit, or some biscuits lying around. In one occasion, I tried snaking on powdered milk. haha. that was fun.

Stocking some foods like biscuits or cookies really help a lot in times like this.I used to have biscuits with my cabinet then one of our colleague do sell instant 3-in-1 coffee so snack is always on the go and solved without going outside.

Snacks make our life more enjoyable;) When I go shopping I always get a lot of snacks enough for me to stay at home for 3+ days;) I love cheese, chocolate, yoghurt and cookies. But it seems those are all high-calory food. Umm, I think I have to add fruits in my snacktime list, like grapes, strawberries and bananas;)

Yeah better add some fruits since it is healthy for us.I also love to eat chocolates during snack time or when watching TV but I lessen it now but I always buy one when I am in the supermarket or grocery and eat it while on the way home.

This reminds me of an old children's story called: Nail Soup. It is about a village where the people said they ran out of food, so an old lady said she will make soup by putting a nail in a pot of water. Then people started adding what they could find: a couple of carrots, a few potatoes, etc. By the time, all the people added their little bit of food to the soup, it turned out to be a very hardy soup that was enough to feed everyone in the village. After removing the nail, (don't ask me why she used a nail) she served everyone in the village. And everyone had enough to eat. So, it is amazing that when we combine what we have, we often can find enough to eat. Some of my best meals was what I could make from what I could find in the cupboards when it was just before payday and I didn't have money to go buy any food. I am sure you are not going to forget how you and your colleagues were able to find a wonderful snack by just finding what you can find and enjoying the feast. :)

Big things really start from small ones.Sometimes we see things in small perspective yet when we combine it all, it become big and great output that we don't expect.
