I do this all the time. I use little ones for trail mix, big ones for soup... my favourite is layering rice and stew or curry, then reheating at school. I keep it cool or warm by wrapping in a tea towel before putting it in my bag. Then come lunch, the tea towel is my napkin! Bring your own cutlery and it's a waste free meal :) Reader Tip: Take Soup to Work in a Glass Canning Jar |

I. Love. These. Posts. Especially as fall hits. Simple, warm, sincere, and somehow not overly schmarmy or saccharine. Keep'em coming :) Weekend Meditation: An Unexpected Morning at Home |

microwave poached eggs. Pour a teaspoon of vinegar and a pinh of salt into the bottom of the mug, fill said mug 2/3 with cold water, crack in raw egg, and stick it in the zapper for a minute and a half or 3, depending on the doneness you like. Works great every time! I think I even saw it on this site.... 10 Make-Ahead Breakfasts to Start Your Day Off Right |

Sooo, I told some people that sometimes, when I'm in the mood, I melt cheddar to a plate and then just eat it. Plain. With a fork. They think I'm weird... I think it's delicious! A Happy Accident: Cheese and the Microwave The Cheesemonger |

Wow. Heated. I feel this discussion would be simpler if everyone just took what they found useful from the list and disregarded what doesn't work for them.

I like to neatly make little masking tape "flags" for each end of my cords and label them accordingly. It really helps for when you move or have to change your set-up and all the cords get thrown into a box. Make It Easier to Identify a Collection of USB Cables |

Put the lunch bag (or room temp portion of lunch, in a bag) on top of your shoes or on the floor by the door. Works great if you don't have dogs, and no way you'll leave without them. The Best Ways to Remember Your Lunch in the Morning Twitter Intelligence Report |

Ditto on the reuse. I use an clean widemouth salsa jar with a screw on lid. Works famously. Modern Salt Cellars |

Thisis brilliant! One question though. If you're only using one table spoon of the mix each time you use it, it's kindof hit or miss with some of the larger spices? Does that make for a fun and varied cup, or is it not a problem in your experience? Edible Gift Idea: The Best Chai Tea Mix! |

A minute and a half in the office microwave and I have fruity, sweet but not too sweet oatmeal, piping hot. Mmm!
