Ambrosia on the run

This was a lunch from last week- it feels like a LIFETIME ago!  The start of year is so busy!

Basically we have a simple egg and pasta salad, whipped up with garden greens, a pottle of 'travel ambrosia' (those long-time followers will be well aware of my desire for the perfect ambrosia for lunch).  The top layer of the hamburger bento has a baby-bel cheese round, with a face!  I got the punch to work!  I was totally stoked with that.  There is also a thingy of ginger, mixed nuts with cranberries, fresh blueberries, mini toffee-pop biscuits and some cracked pepper crackers.

I am just so run off my feet.  A smart woman would plan to make her lunches in the evening..... maybe I'll do that. 

On Thursday I'm off to the National Juggling Convention!  YAY!  I am looking forward to practising my Circus skills and hanging out with other strange folk.  Sometimes I think I have the best job in the world. :D

A flap and a hassle

Well... with today being a total flap and hassle and stress-fest- I have decided to burn the candle well and truly to get a less busy start to the day.

I have now done my first EVER made-the-night-before bento.... and made lentils and fishcakes for my husband's lunch tomorrow.  Going like the clappers..... even made a gingerbread cake for my cast... though in my hast to get it out of the tin, have broken it.... but the BEST thing about teenagers- they EAT anything!.. ....

So here is tomorrows lunch- stay tuned to see if it lives.... :D

It's the hamburger bento again.... salad on the bottom layer.  Boring as.  Top layer has flamingo sticks of cheese, pineapple and grapes (my salute to Grandma's luncheons).... kiwi fruit slices, a thingy of almonds and a marshmellow with apprehensive face drawn on.  All the picks are birds, and the salad dressing is in a bird bottle---- my salute to flapping!  It had me smiling anyway. 

:D

Good Morning!

What I had not anticipated this week was that darned daylight saving!  I have never felt so tired in the morning.  It was a struggle to get up and fix lunch for the husband and myself- but it is done, and I am feeling rather proud of my efforts.... so proud I am blogging instead of heading out the door or into the shower!

So here it is... in the hamburger bento.  In the bottom layer we have a simple salad of rocket, cheese, avodcado and apple rolled in lemon juice, a boiled bantum egg and lashings of parsley.  In the piigy bottle is some honey mustard dressing.

Top layer has the frittata from yesterday, nuts and raisins, and some yogurt covered dried apricots.  One square meal bar and an apple on the side.

Some have complained with the shaped bentos being too small or impractical.  I have found this one to be perfect for salads and snacks, easy to eat from, and a good size portion.  The top layer is deep as the lid has more space in it.  I cannot sing the praises of this bento enough.

All of this has been put in the wrong bag- but I wanted some yellow brick road influence!

Now I am off for a shower and rehearsal.
