  - nope not a joke. I often send tuna sandwiches or turkey, ham, etc. PB&J I wouldn't worry about, but it's not allowed at DC's school! I use a cool pack but then wondered if the lunchboxes were made to insulate w/o.

    - np: you can't have pb&j because of the peanut allergy kids? That's sad. I get it. But still sad.

      - exactly. I love PB&J, and DC gets it for lunch frequently when it's not a school day (and all summer). but no go at school

    - Neither have to be kept cold. They are going to be eaten within the next few hours anyway.

- Ice pack unless I make her a bagel and cream cheese. Then I just put the cream cheese on a frozen bagel and it's defrosted by lunchtime!

    - wouldn't the bagel be kinda soggy? why not just pack a fresh bagel? it's not like it's going to go bad.

- it depends on what I include in the lunch. oftentimes I will freeze something (like a gogurt) which acts as a cooler. I also use thermoses for hot foods
