A super short post because I’m cooking before tonight’s evening of television. In case you haven’t heard, LOST Season 6 starts tonight and I only have 20 minutes to get all this done. The rice cooker is switched on, the kabocha is roasting and the chicken is marinating. After the show is over… I pack the bentos for tomorrow’s lunches.
Today’s bento box features salmon soboro over rice, (yes it’s the White Rice) roasted delicata squash and shoyu wasabi boiled eggs. I almost always have a bento stash of salmon patties in the freezer. Either homemade or store bought. They are easy to reheat for immediate consumption and perfect for a bento box. For today’s lunch I crumbled one of the patties and made a soboro.

Today’s featured bento box almost didn’t happen. I had big ideas on making baked lemon chicken, similar to the mochiko chicken recipe which was done a while back. Read the rest of this entry →
Today’s featured bento box features the last piece of 5 spice roasted chicken , a thigh. Saba Man’s lunch needed more, so additional protein is a triangle shaped fried egg. There are 2 mini musubi, one wrapped in nori and the other with sesame/seaweed furikake. Steamed asparagus, olives and tomatoes fill out the rest of box!
The egg was fried then steamed in a triangle shaped cookie cutter. I didn’t photograph using the triangle, but I did for a heart shape!
Today’s featured bento box contains “residual ingredients” from yesterday’s bento box, The Smallest Tree. All those egg whites I used for the “snow” left some orphaned yolks behind. What to do ? Custard? Nope. Mayonnaise? Hell no. I’m currently reading Julie and Julia so I have a strong hunch on that potential result. As they say on Twitter…#fail! Failure will never be an option if I don’t evern try, right? I’m comfortable with that choice. So I ponder, “Will I ever add d French cooking to my ‘to do’ list?” Hmmm…I will answer that question after I conquer my fear of dough, and that item is near the bottom of that list. Procrastination can be blissful.
