Breakfast is now served all day. Get your bacon at 10 pm if you want. > [@WhyNot](#): > > I think the question’s been pretty much answered (meat), but I’ll add one tip: if they’re giving out the box in the picture, flip it over. Use the clear part as a bowl, and the black part as the lid. You’ll be able to get more food in there without it falling all over the place. The clear part has vents. But the black part is as deep as the clear part. It’s not a great liquid container, but it does snap closed and should contain gravy or some such. Wouldn’t trust it to keep soup above the black line. ---

I read through the entire first page screaming “Bacon!” at the computer… stack em in like files… and right now, they have breakfast any time! 🙂 Appetizers for Thanksgiving are going to be courtesy of a to-go box on Wednesday… cheaper and easier to to grab what you need instead of buying in packages that are too big for the dishes you’re making! ---
