Re: lunchbox/cooler ideas

I just made some no-added-fat hummus for lunches this morning.
This travel well and is good in a pita with some sliced cucumbers and 
tomatoes, or make it a little thinner and use as a dip.  Warning: garlic 
breath may result!  You can use less if you don't like so much garlic.
