Everyone at Borders was always intensely curious about what he brought to lunch every day. He always said, "leftovers," but of course, when he heated them up, everyone was of the opinion that his leftovers were the best-smelling leftovers they'd ever had the priviledge to ogle and sniff at. By the time we were living in Maryland, I actually got to be tiffinwalla to the whole store a time or two; I got to cater a soup supper for the Columbia Borders staff at the opening of the Christmas season. That was fun. Three types of soup, and some breads, and a very, very happy staff.

Sadly, I'm an East Bay gal, and this looks like mostly South Bay, but my friends of this evening can partake and enjoy. I guess I get to remain my own tiffinwalla for the time being. Sigh. So cool though..... Went for drinks tonight with friends who mentioned this article, and what do I find on my return but T&S is ahead of my anticipation and has provided me the link!

I think it is a great idea, too. It is kind of like the US personal chef idea gone backwards. I like it. I wonder if I could get that kitchen upstairs, health inspection approved....;-) I don’t read the WSJ–so you could be right, Rose. I think it is a great idea, too.

There was something else written (in the Wall Street Journal??) a year or two ago on the same thing. Oh, btw, this isn’t the first article on the subject.

I'm trying to corner my friend's mom into doing it--but she's not taking the bait :-) The Dabba Wallas sound awesome.
