Sometimes I have yummy left-overs from the previous day which I can heat up in our office's microwave. This is usually very healthy because Pascal and I receive a box with organic veggies and fruits from a local farmer every two weeks. It's fantas-tic because I've tried so many new vegetables whose names I had never heard before (e.g., parsnip, pointed cabbage, Jerusalem artichoke).<BR/><BR/>2.
