I keep a pack of oatcakes and a squeeze pack of almond butter in my purse, my swim bag and sometimes my glove compartment (a mouse got into them once so I removed them). Recently I pulled out the oatcakes from my knapsack, and they were all crumbs. Maybe that's the equivalent of a funky tater.

: Today for lunch I took chicken, green
: beans and half a decent sized
: sweet potato. I had cooked the
: sweet potato previously and had
: lost track of when, and when I
: opened the bag at work, it was
: funky. I used to keep more back up
: food at my desk, but a year ago we
: had a rodent issue at work and
: weren't allowed to keep food at
: our desks unless it was in metal
: containers. So I have back up
: protein (cans of sardines) but no
: back up brown at the moment. It's
: definitely time to buy myself a
: bag of blue corn tortilla chips
: for my desk - not the most ideal
: brown, but it works well enough in
: a pinch.

: 2 lessons from this for me - if you
: didn't cook it yesterday, smell it
: to make sure it's not funky before
: you count on it for your meal

: Have a back up brown at your desk
