Big Shiny Bento

With things really busy these days there will be no lunches for a while.

Lunch today was merely a ham n cheese sandwhich and some Ribfest ribs on the side.

Tasty, but thing to write home about.

Its sort of like an okonomiyaki, but with egg instead of batter.

Mine was breakfast this morning and I used - 1 egg, 3/4 cup of cooked rice broken up, and various leftover veggies from other dishes (today was snow peas, mushrooms and carrots). Mix em up in a bowl while heating a pan with butter. Add to the pan, and when brown flip like an omelette.

Even my little daughter thought it was tasty - and without spices or sauce no less!

Yup, ecclectic it is today. But again no pics, sorry! With the new baby, and the move things are hectic these days.
Shanghai beef noodles and scalloped potatoes. Both tastey by themselves, together - the possibilities are .. well, not quite endless..

No pictures again, but its a good lunch!

Whipped potatoes (lots of butter!), boiled asparagus, a couple pickles, and part of a teriyaki pork chop.

The best part is the brown onions and sauce from the chops drizzled over everything. Better than BBQ sauce - Yuumy!

I have leftover pizza for lunch today. It fits the bento box, but does it fit the bento rules?

Cheese, starch, veggies, meat - so far so good.

Fun to eat, easy to eat with your hands - again so far so good.

Colorful, themed, fancy? Um.. well.. uh…

Well, 2 out of 3 is where we stand. I suppose I could throw some fancy things on top or on the side to make it healthier and prettier, but I didn’t have time today.

I know, I’ll stick a cute animal pick into it and call it bento! Problem solved!

Yet another day of no pictures. Didn’t know if I’d be posting today with the weekend outage.

We have some Caribbean rice (rice and pigeon peas), okras (boiled whole), and some fish sticks.

I added some squash cut into flowers for some color. Yum!

This past weekend you may have missed us. This site, and many others hosted at the same location, went down due to an emergency with the hosting servers.

Things should be back to normal now.
