Famous Death Row Last Meals
Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Each day, I pack up some food to bring along with me to work. Some days it's a complete meal, whereas other days, I just bring a snack (knowing that either we're having lunch at work or I'm going to run out and grab something). One consistent thing about my to-go food is that it nearly always includes a whole piece of fruit. However, I rarely feel comfortable just tossing an apple, pear or nectarine straight into my bag, for fear that it will get punctured or smashed. Instead I walk to work, clutching a piece of fruit. It's an effective protective measure, but not very convenient if I have other things to carry.
Lucky for me, Jennifer McCann of Vegan Lunch Box fame has devised a clever way to keep your lunch time piece of fruit unscathed. She has whipped up a pattern for an apple cozy and is making it available on her blog (she's also got patterns available for orange and banana cozies). So get out those crochet hooks and dress your fruit in style.
