#83: Breakfast for Lunch

Oh, faithful readers (Hi, L!). We are sorry for the way We have treated you.  Neglectfully.  Without consideration.  We have been a Rude King.  Sneakiness, yes, but abandonment?  No!  That is not the way of the Kingdom!

Sans camera today, We thought to Ourself, well, a crappy phone photo is better than no photo at all.  And so We took a phone photo.  Then we thought, Self, We can e-mail that to Ourself, and then post it for the citizenry!  And that is what We have done.  So it is Our hope that you will enjoy it despite the questionable quality.

Today, We are sickies.  We have some sort of aggravating head cold thing.  The Royal Nose leaks (and is now dry and scratchy and scabby on the outside).  The Royal Head is full of heavy and hurt.  The Royal Limbs are listless and pasty. 

So We brought comforting lunch.  Gentle, mildly sweet foods.  All the components came in separate little cute tubs, and then were added together when We remembered to take a photo. 

In the red panda bowl on the left is vanilla lowfat yogurt and frozen blueberries.  We almost never buy the yogurt w/ sugar in it, so this was appallingly deliciously ice-creamy!  The blue bowl is 1-minute oats (not the sugary instant packet crap, just regular oats--albeit the instant, not-as-good-for-you kind), walnuts, and cinnamon.  After it was rehydrated We put sliced banana in.  Yum.  We feel nourished and able to go teach a second class!

Er, mostly.

Snackbox: Trail Mix

We love a snackbox.  We often have a snackbox like this hidden somewhere in the depths of Our bag.  This is trail mix from Our local hippie grocery.  It's kind of chocolate-heavy.  Usually, We get a fruit-heavy one. 

This tiny little Tupperware container is a good snackbox to have tucked in the backpack.  It won't go bad if We don't eat it the day We pack it, it's a good hit of calories to keep Us from going crazy with hunger, and it's way tastier than most of the premade granola bars out there. 

So if We do not post many snackboxes, here is why: the majority of them look something like this. 

Bento #19: Salad time!

We are sorry for the blurry photo.  We thought Our camera was on Macro but it was not.  This is Our healthy, just-sort-of-thrown-together salad--the fridge was sort of low on salad ingredients, but We really wanted a big pile of fruit and veggie for lunch.  You can see that We have spinach, carrots, apples, an egg, and sunflower seeds in there.  The dressing is also a "Hm, so what is there?" dressing, because We did not want oil and vinegar.  The dressing was a mixture of spicy brown mustard, apple cider, rice vinegar, and pepper.  It was good, but very sweet--but We wanted sweet, because of the apple.  So kind of a weird fruity lunch.  It did the trick, though.
