Bento 31: Tempeh Sandwich and Salad



Is this the first use of both tiers since We started recording our noms on this blog?  We believe it is! We had a huge evening workout planned, so We made sure to bring enough food to carry Us through.  But We did not want to bring, say, carbohydrates.  So We brought a ton of fruit and veggies!



In this top tier, We have a tempeh sandwich on a homemade bun.  You'll have to trust Us on this--We know you can't see the tempeh, but trust me, it's in there.  It's cut into chunks and then broiled in a Caribbean jerk sauce.  It's one of Our favorite ways to eat tempeh.  Then there's an apple, half a banana, and some grapes.



In the bottom tier, there's a salad of spinach, tomato, and carrot. The little green bird has oil and vinegar. 

As We recall, We ate the sandwich and salad for lunch, and kept the fruit for a midafternoon snack.  It was delicious.  We love to do this sometimes--pack a huge lunch so We have snacks all day long.  It feels self-indulgent and gratifying and tender.  This lunch was an excellent example of that.  Look how awesome We are to Our own self, this lunch says.  Hello, King Asher; King Asher thinks you're great! 

And We are.
