Lunch at Our office desk again. Tofurkey, cheese, and bell pepper on homemade bread. There's also carrots, celery, and grape tomatoes with a side of spicy peanut dip. We found a great recipe for this stuff in a low-carb cookbook, of all places. But it's totally delicious--spicy and peanutty and fruity and soy sauce-y. Interestingly, and unfortunately for the low-carb people, We totally love it over noodles, especially with some tofu and some cabbage, maybe some shredded carrots, chucked in there.
We also have a cup of green tea and a few dates for dessert. We keep a hot water kettle in Our office so We can have hot tea all day long. On a class evaluation form, a student once gave Us a few low scores on the bubble side of the form, and then the only comment on the writing side was that Our tea smelled bad. (And ere you think this student is reacting to Our Wacko Self, no, We do not refer to Ourselves with the Royal pronoun when We teach. We are much more humble than that.)
This box, not really a bento at all (look at all the empty space! Gasp) is one of the Fit and Fresh boxes that are great for salads or big non-bento lunches, or even 2 lunches! One sandwich in the big compartment and one little side box of fruit or veggies or dessert or whatever for each person. We've also used it successfully when We've needed to bring two meals, like both breakfast and lunch, or lunch and a late afternoon snack, or whatever, but when you're used to packing a small box, you have to be careful not to bring too much food. Or you get all bloaty.
No one likes a bloaty King.
