From an empty lunch, that is.
Our fridge was way empty when We made this lunch. But if there are two things that are always available in the Sneaky Kingdom, it's eggs and rice. Here are two onigiri made with ebi furikake and hard-boiled egg mashed into very small bits mixed in. By the way, egg white does not stick well to rice. Just saying. Next to the onigiri are grapes, several of which picked up the ebi flavoring. Shrimpy grapes are not quite as nice as standard ones.
In the tier behind, there's carrot sticks and kiwi slices. Yum; kiwi! We do love different fruits for Our bentos. And finally, in the lid, there's a slice of fruitcake which the Queen Mother sent Us. Yum; fruitcake! Though We do wish she'd convert to standard dried fruits instead of the lurid candied kind, which can make the bread too sugary. Still, very sweet of her to send it so that it could be Our bento dessert! It was good with tea.
Oh, and the knitted widget behind the lunch? That is Our work hat. You see, the air conditioning is kept so high in the building We work at that We often have to bundle up in winter clothes so as not to freeze. This seems ludicrous to Us, and yet, there it is. So that is a hat that would be appropriate for fall in Our Original Kingdom up north. Here, where it is Sunny, We keep the hat in Our office for a/c resistance purposes. Oh, and the staff often resorts to opening the windows and letting the 97-degree air from outside in, to try to warm the room up a little. We--by which We, the King, mean everyone who works there--is aware that this is stupid, and yet, we don't have access to thermostat controls. So instead, lots of wasted energy. If someone else would like to draw a moral here, by all means, do it.
