Bento #40 - With renewed vigor
This title may seem strange, until you realize just how long its been since I had a real bento to post about.
No picture since things were rushed this morning. Hmm.. Maybe I should hand draw something in PhotoShop..
The Big Blue box has slivered cabbage and carrots softened with zesty italian dressing on them. Next to them is leftover lemon chicken that has been really tasty, and lastly is slices of marbled cheese and apples.
If there was a picture, you’d be asking me what those little round things were standing up between the cheese and lemon chicken. Well, I took an apple corer and took core samples of my apple slices. They look kinda neat, and are really easy to squeeze in around things. I think next time I’ll try my fry cutter for square cut versions. Hmmm.. the fry cutter would be good to use on any veggies soft enough for it to cut now that I think of it.
And part of lunch, but not in the box, is a slice of oreo cake. 
I shouldn’t have written this now, cause now I’m hungry.

The cabbage and carrot was good, but needed some zip so hot sauce turned it into more of a kim chee. By the time I was at the end of it I realized the salad dressing, while coating the salad, mostly ended up in the bottom of the lunchbox. That would be the reason nearly all the recipes I read say to salt, then pat the veggies, and sauce containers are used most of the time.
Over all the cabbage/carrot was great, and the lemon chicken really hit the spot. Now I’m slowly going through the apples and cheese.
Wait, its not even noon yet! D’oh! At least there is still cake.
