I adore grocery shopping. I love going to the produce aisle to see how virtuous I can be on any given day. I love going to the snack-food aisle to see what delicious (but bad-for-me) concoctions the food manufacturers have developed for our consumption.

I'm one of those people who hate shopping with a list. This usually leaves me with a high grocery bill and too much junk food. Oops!

One of my colleagues—a furniture designer—ripped this apart when I was telling him about wanting one. He had valid points, too!

Flying, without a doubt, and sometimes buying food that comes in plastic wrapping.

I do something like this, but with a little less equipment.

Sunday night: Place 1 & 1/2 cups of oat groats with 3x the water. Bring to boil, let it set overnight to "cook."

Monday morning: Put ALL the cooked oat groats in a quart-size mason jar. It should be packed to the gills. Pack my fresh fruit and toppings (shredded coconut, flaxseed meal, etc.) in their separate (smaller) containers. Bring to work and store the cooked oats in the work fridge. Put the other toppings in my desk drawer.

Every day of the week: Take out a serving of the oats, put some fresh milk in it to soften it up, microwave it, and top with the miscellany ingredients that I brought.

This is my breakfast for the entire week!

This is a totally Norwegian thing to do, but I typically put bread in the toaster oven, wait until it gets adequately crispy, then plunk on a sardine or two on the bread. Leave it in there for a bit longer (so the fish can warm up), then take it out, squeeze some lemon on it, and dollop the top with skyr or other thick yogurt. YUM!

(Yes, I know I have very strange tastes.)

Biscotti! Just pack them in a large plastic container.
