I picked up a bunch of the battery operated votives for use in my ceramic Jack-O-lantern candle holders this halloween. For the first time in years I had them lit for hours at a time since there was no worry about pets or kids knocking them over. The ones I bought from the dollar store even flickered & looked like the real thing once placed in a holder. I'm going battery for Christmas too - My kids are thrilled now they can each have a candle holder or two with a "lit" votive in their rooms with no fear of cats knocking them over. Dee

Sadly in the smaller community where my kids go to school (B.C. Canada) the only option is to take a packed lunch - there is no hot lunch / cafeteria. It is the same in the other 10 or so elementary schools & the 4 middle schools in this district ( & most other areas of the province)- I don't know if the 2 senior high schools offer anything or not. My kids are offered an option one day a month to have a (student paid & quite expensive) "hot lunch" which is catered -sometimes it's something rather bad on the nutrion front ( hot dogs - fast food burgers eg: Burger King) or something a bit better such as a pita pocket or subway sub .(which I know isn't really a "hot " lunch)
I wish there was an affordable alternative provided -I work full-time & don't have an extra hour to plan & put together fabulous lunches. I wish I could move to France- I hear they also have 5 weeks vacation there too :)
