Bento #108: Random Junk from the Fridge


Citizens, this is a weird one.  Our fridge was full of random stuffs, and We had not been shopping in a while, so here is a Very Strange Lunch.

The left tier has kind of a deconstructed California roll: sushi-seasoned brown rice, fake krab sticks leftover from something else, and avocado.  The right tier has greek yogurt, frozen blueberries, and plums.

This is not Our best lunch, citizens.  We admit to a certain lack of planning and forethought.  Fruit salad doesn't really go with fallen-apart sushi.  This is also not the most nutritionally sound lunch either, somehow.  Something is off.  We are somewhat shamed.

Bento #107: Squash Soup


Hello, citizenry!  Here is today's delicious soup-and-a-sandwich lunch!

The soup is a roasted-squash-and-apple type of soup.  It is crazy delicious.  Basically, you get a squash, an onion, some apples, and then you cube everything, throw it in a roasting pan with olive oil and anything else you think will make for delicious, and then you roast it.  Put it in a soup pan with some stock, hit with an immersion blender, season, and call it a delicious day!

On the side is bread with cheese for sopping up every last bit of delicious soup.  Then there are carrots.  Must always have carrots.

Snackbox: Mr. T's Cookie


Friend of the Kingdom T, who when his full name is in usage gets called Mr. T___, which is funny now for Reporting Purposes here, makes these cookies.

Mr. T is a gluten-free kind of guy.  He also does not eat rice.  These cookies, which are huge and hugely caloric but very tasty, are therefore made up of all kinds of peculiar flours: tapioca, coconut, etc.  And oatmeal and chocolate chips.  Being caloric but sweet and delicious, they make an excellent snackbox for a day with a hard workout ahead, something endurance-y and calorie-torching, like the ashtanga series.  Your King hates nothing more than feeling as if she is going to faint dead away mid-vinyasa.

Bento #106: Everybody's Favorite Lunch


That's right.  It's fried rice. 

This appears to have been a fridge-cleaner.  We see bits of carrot, leftover greens, and--bell pepper?  Peas?  Something else green.

Exciting times in the Kingdom, citizens.

Bento #105: Shamewich


Here you see a veggie burger on shame bread, with ketchup, deli mustard, and, if We recall correctly, smoked cheese. Holy crap, that's a lot of processed food! Not a single unprocessed ingredient in there. Yikes. Check it out:


Backing up the shamewich is an apple, celery, and dried apricots. At least the fruit and veg is unprocessed.

We know, We know, that eating lots and lots of processed foods is bad for Us. But dang, those veggie burgers are hella tasty.
