Life

Food videos are one of my main vices.

Id like to think I’m looking for inspiration, but mostly Im just procrastinating.

Still, theres one trend that has fascinated and occasionally flabbergasted me: The Lunchbox Wife.

The hashtag#Lunchformyhusbandhas more than 2 billion views on TikTok.

Now that Im homebound, midday sustenance is a slog.

I make tuna sandwiches.

I make tuna rice bowls.

I have a go at make other things that dont involve tuna.

Their meals are more utilitarian but look no less delicious its comfort food, literally and figuratively.
