Hasty Bento for a Thursday

Jan's bento for today had to be fast, because we were up late at his birthday dinner and watching "Flatliners" to celebrate. How appropriate for his X0'th birthday, to watch a movie about people visiting the afterlife! That didn't occur to me until this morning...

Anyway I had wanted to make inari zushi but that is going to have to wait. (I bought some ready made tofu pockets in Madison and froze them; we'll see how they do after freezing.)

Anyway one of my favorite hurry-up bentos involves tortilla wraps in whatever way. today they have cream cheese, soy vegetarian "taco filling" which is amazingly good, and spicy sprouts. I stuffed little sugar snap peas in amongst the pinwheels, and added a container of hot chili sauce.




I also made him some white peach and lime salsa which smells heavenly, and put in some celery for dipping. Peanut butter pretzels with a few recreational wasabi peas, in the lid of bear bento and he is ready for the day!!

Wednesday: Overslept

My plans for today's lunch went out the window when I saw how little time I had. This was the result: leftover fried rice from last night, leftover takeout egg foo yung (lower level), with carrots, romaine, and Want-Want cookies on top (OK there's also a JellyJelly and a caramel apple pop; trying to lose weight requires that I cheer myself up with sweets). But also: guava juice!! I love it.

Jan's Mr. Bento was this:


two sushi rolls whose odd shape shows that I made them, with shrimp and ginger and a wasabi filled heart; wrap sandwich of cream cheese and hard salami, salad leftovers, and cookies with a chocolate coin.
