Brought My Lunch is a photo group to showcase the lunch you brought to work. The goal is to create an incentive to 1) bring lunch to work (instead of buying expensive, less healthy meals around the office) and 2) to bring better lunches to work, lunches that are worthy of not just eating, but photographing. So pack that lunch, break out your camera, and submit your photos to the group pool.

I've been on an Orson Welles kick lately, having just read the excellent Welles biography by Simon Callow -- Orson Welles Volume 1 -- The Road to Xanadu. I've been doing various online searches based on things I read in the book -- anyway, the famous "Frozen Peas Spot" is something I came across while clicking around. You can give it a listen here, documented as part of the 365 Days Project.
