My Dream Lunch

A member of our Stake Presidency recently spent 7 months in Russia. He came to a meeting I was in and shared some of his experiences. I think my huge pregnant belly made him think of a particular story because he told us about visiting with a Russian member whose wife had just had a baby. When he asked how the baby looked the man replied, "I don't know. I haven't seen him yet." He explained that in Russia, women go to the hospital to give birth and stay for a week. They are not allowed any visitors...not even their husband. They are also supposed to bring their own food (I don't know if that is for the entire time or just one meal a day). That got me thinking: what food would I bring to the hospital? Here's my list:
A PB&J sandwich
(plum jam please - peanut butter and jam in almost equal proportions...slightly more jam than peanut butter)
Ruffles Potato Chips
Yoplait Yogurt
(Key Lime Pie, Vanilla, Coconut Cream Pie, Orange Creamsicle or something equally yummy)
A Pink Lady apple
Chocolate Chip Cookies - homemade of course
Chocolate Milk

That may sound like the most pedestrian of lunches but the only things on that list that I've been able to eat for the last nine months have been the chips and the apple. I look forward to being reunited with my favorite lunch foods. What would you bring?

Sounds like a fabulous lunch! I'd take a sharp cheddar, tomato, avacado sandwich on whole wheat, lays classic potato chips, spinach salad, cold and crunchy jona gold apple, homemade chocolate cake with lots of frosting, and a cranberry juice on the rocks.

Sounds tasty! I think that you can make me a pb&j sandwich any day. I like the ratios just as you listed. ;^)! Can't wait to see this cherub that is causing you to miss out on such tasty treats! Good Luck.

Maybe it's because it's still the middle of winter, but definitely soup. After Cooper was born in the middle of the night I remember a nurse bringing me a bowl of chicken noodle soup--it was just the canned kind with broth and noodles, but I was so tired and hungry and I just remember it tasting heavenly.
