| Lunch Box 575: Pride in my lunch |
[Jun. 27th, 2008|07:15 pm] |
 I will eat the rainbow today! Red cherries, orange & yellow steamed carrots & yellow squash, green edamame, blue country cornbread, and baked purple sweet potato. And lest anyone forget the earth tones - representing the end of the rainbow or something - some mushroom turnovers.
How about that, I packed a vegetarian meal. Not vegan, however, as there are dairy products in the cornbread and turnovers. I'm not quite that hardcore.

| Lunch Box 574: Pseudo-escargot |
[Jun. 26th, 2008|09:30 pm] |
 When I go to an Asian market I try to find at least one thing each trip that I've never tried before. This time around I came home with a bag of frozen periwinkles. Winkles, a kind of snail, are commonly eaten in Britain and Ireland, but I've never seen them here. So, I guessed that they'd go well with garlic butter, and simmered them at a low temperature in just that. The result: escargot-like garlic butter periwinkles. Then there's edamame, zucchini & onion stir-fry, mushroom turnovers, and cherries. Can you tell I bought a BIG bag of cherries?

| Lunch Box 572: In memory of George Carlin |
[Jun. 24th, 2008|10:37 pm] |
 By now everyone in the continental US knows that George Carlin passed on this past weekend. What can I say, he was a funny man and the news made me sad. So, here I am, making a bento lunch that is a salute to him, sorta-kinda. It includes meatcake, AKA meatloaf, and blue country cornbread, which is classic blue food. Blue food, man.
There's also steamed sugar snap peas, some mushroom turnovers I bought at Trader Joe's, and cherries, but I can't tie those in to Carlin because they weren't going bad in the back of my fridge.
Tomorrow: The seven foods you can never use in a bento!
