| Lunch Box 612: Post-Thanksgiving II |
[Dec. 4th, 2008|10:10 pm] |
 More Thanksgiving leftovers! By this time I'd carved all the meat off the turkey and boiled what was left for broth so I could make, among other things, Thanksgiving aftermath rice. Rice made with turkey broth instead of water, with some carrots and celery and bits of turkey to kick it up a little.
On the other side I have the everpresent edamame, a blue country cornbread muffin, and some persimmon. You'll be seeing a lot of persimmon in the upcoming lunches, by the way, as I got eight of the things while shopping with a coworker. The glory of bulk pricing!

 Ah yeah. Roast turkey with Thanksgiving aftermath gravy, steamed pole beans, a blue country cornbread muffin, and some persimmon. All Thanksgiving leftovers, which means that I don't have to do much cooking for at least another week! What will I do with all the spare time that will leave me? Oh, who am I kidding, I'll just try some new recipes.
You know how hard it is to convince people at a Thanksgiving party that blue cornbread is made with actual blue corn, not food coloring? Sheesh.

| Lunch Box 588: Chibi meatloaf |
[Sep. 26th, 2008|10:10 pm] |
 Who says meatloaf can't be cute? I had a little filling left over after making meatloaf gyoza, so I got out a muffin pan and made a few mealoaf cupcakes. Come to think of it, individual meatloaf cakes are better suited for bento lunches than slices of regular meatloaf, aren't they?
And then I have steamed broccoli, baked sweet potato, blue country cornbread, and an pan. Nom nom.

| Lunch Box 580: Narrow but not skinny |
[Sep. 8th, 2008|08:18 pm] |
 I'm back! Sorry about the month-and-a-half-long absence, but my work situations and personal complications sapped my will to cook and post for a while. I was still making bento lunches, but didn't pack food that I considered worth posting. You can only take so many "this is a sandwich" shots, you know? Anyway, I'm back now.
So, here's a new bento box, or, rather, a set of "men's bento boxes," so-called because they're adult-sized and black, I guess. They're filled with beef & broccoli stir-fry, udon noodles, blue country cornbread, orange segments, and chunks of mango.
