I can't seem to get past this challenge. In the first part it's looking for the value of the order as well as a timestamp. I can't see that order has that property.

11,208 PointsYou're pulling in a LunchOrder() object, which gets the name 'order'. Look in the code where a LunchOrder gets created (def order_lunch():
). There you can see the 3 attributes that are part of a LunchOrder.
In the context of the today()
view, you are making a LunchOrder, calling it order and then accessing it's attributes. You can user order.some_attribute
the same way you would use LunchOrder().some_attribute
.

14,136 PointsThanks I was looking at the today view and could just see the two attributes there but didn't think to look beyond that to the create LunchOrder to get the full attributes. Got it now.
