Thai-riffic

My neighbour friend gave me a Thai cookbook for my birthday (Simply Thai), and I finally got to using it this week - to great success! Here's Pad Woon Sen, and I added the baby corns myself. I failed to make enough rice to make bento out of the spicy pork awesomeness I made yesterday...but it may yet make an appearance here :)

Curry-licious

Mmmmm, this looks good! Leftover Chicken Curry and Mango Rice from Costco this weekend, carrots, green peppers, kiwi and strawberries. I really like this particular box because of its moveable divider...and its Strawberry Shortcake design. We're going to have to go back to that dollar store soon. I'm sure the man will enjoy the Dora The Explorer version.

Snowed in!

I noticed the weather forecast on Friday and realized we wouldn't be able to get out this weekend, so I picked out lots of things at the grocery store that would keep us well stocked. Today I made slow cooker pork sandwiches and coleslaw, which have be transformed into tommorrow's two part bento. Hooray!

A flurry of foodieness!

In the hour or so I've been home I feel I've accomplished a lot domestically! I made this bento which I am super excited to eat, cause I love left over spaghetti.

And I made this non-bento, but still impressive Pineapple Roll Cake for the cake auction at work tommorrow. Sadly, I won't get to taste it, but it sure did smell good.

Airplane Bento

The man has to travel today, and tragically will not be going Executive Class like we did on our vacation, so I hooked him up with Awesome Class Bento. Lots of snacky things that will be easy to eat on the plane and that he can pick at throughout the flight. The dip is White Bean and Roasted Red Pepper from President's Choice. Should be more bento action now that we are settling in from our trip.

Valentine Bento

Sweet Valentine bento for the man, and tasty remants of that for me (cutting the red pepper that way left a lot of interesting shapes...). I toyed with cutting the pita into hearts also, but I thought there would be too much waste and that their pocketness would disappear. So round pitas of love will have to do.

This is also the last pre-vacation bento...see you after Vegas baby!

Reruns

Tonight's dinner was Thai Turkey sausages from an adventure we took to the grocery store in the classy end of town this weekend. So tomorrow's lunch features those with an option of the pasta we had with them (sundried tomato and parmesan) or roasted garlic and olive oil cous cous. Yummers.
