Red White Yellow

I was going to post pictures of all of my lunches from the past week, but was forced to conclude that they would likely look unappealing to the masses.

For some reason I was struck by the beauty of the colors and shapes in this one.

tomato

hardboiled egg

garlic-stuffed olives

spinach

rosemary sourdough

blue cheese!

And now lunch is fun...

Actually, I've always loved packing my lunches. This box, though, makes me feel at once creative but constrained, and therefore much joy has been had making lunch for the past three days.

Tomorrow's has:

A wrap made of:

- Lavash bread

- mozzarella cheese

- mortadella deli meat

- spinach

- spicy brown mustard

A stirfry made of:

- sliced tomato

- sliced mushroom

- spinach

- soy sauce

- wasabi

- lil' bit of teriyaki sauce

With cucumbers and strawberry thrown in to fill in the spaces. It's like real-life tetris, packing this thing. :D

Bento Box!

I bought a Bento box for $3.00 online the other day. I've taken to packing my lunches (sandwiches, veggies, fruit, leftovers, nuts, etc.) very tightly in a single container to conserve space, and lately the idea of the Bento box has been intensely intriguing. This one is small; 4 1/4" x 3 1/4" x 3 1/2", but you can stuff a pretty good amount of food in there.

My lunch for tomorrow:

1/4 leftover pesto pizza

garlic-stuffed olives

spinach / green beans

mango pieces

raisins

HEALTHY? TRU DAT!
