It’s Monday. That means it’s a day to run errands, clean my space, and balance the ol’ checkbook.
But it’s more than Monday. I stepped outside with a list in hand, ready to take on the day. But I went without a coat! That’s because the weather is absolutely amazing. It’s wonderful. It’s like a taste of spring.
Only it’s February in St. Louis. That means I will get many tastes of spring followed by doses of winter.
A few days back I got this little number in the mail. Isn’t it cute? It’s a bento box!
Today I spent about an hour making enough delicious food for a couple weeks worth of bento lunches, as well as my lunch for today. I stuffed my bento box to the gills with yummy things for tomorrow:
Top: Little cup of applesauce, corn (leftover), Babybel cheese, some little chocolate balls. Bottom: Orange chicken (made today, from frozen), my perfect sticky brown/wild rice (made Saturday), and mixed veggies in balsamic butter sauce (made today, from frozen).
The prep took a long time, but it means I have ongiri in the freezer, leftover veggies and chicken, and two more cups of applesauce. That’s not counting the other leftovers that will be assimilated into the bento lunch system in the next few days.
I’m also reading French Women Don’t Get Fat. I like this book so far. But I really should be doing more cleaning since it is Monday.
Oh well. Life is good!
