27 & 28 - snow, snow, melt away...

*yawn* Moving the clocks ahead one hour last night has completely thrown my schedule off today. I woke up later than normal because of the lost hour, and I feel tired already even though it isn't that late! It is probably just all in my head, but I'm sticking to my story... for now. We went to watch 10,000BC today and it was one of the better movies that I've watched recently. Without giving any spoilers, I have to say that parts of the movie are neither geographically or historically correct BUT there is not a dull moment in the movie.

The first picture below was actually Friday's bento that I forgot to post on Thursday night. Most of the contents were just in the fridge, so they were neatly arranged as my snack/veggie tier. The cole slaw is the second last bit of my batch earlier in the week (made with a bit of wasabi mayo, salt, black pepper, white pepper, lime juice). One of my coworkers commented that the pastrami wrap looked like sushi from the way it was displayed. haha... it does, doesn't it? It must be subliminal, but I craved sushi after work and we went out for dinner to cure my craving. YUM!

This is my bento for tomorrow! I made tuna salad on Saturday with: 1 can chunk light tuna in water (drained), celery, carrot, wasabi mayo, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder. I think I am addicted to the wasabi mayo... that little kick is just so good! Ended up using only half for my lunch wrap on Saturday, so here is the other half for lunch. I will be spreading it on the 1/2 tortilla wrap with some swiss cheese slices on top, then throwing it in the toaster oven for a minute to melt the cheese and toast the wrap just slightly. Oh, my company has a break room that has both a microwave and toaster oven that comes in mighty handy! I tried this on Saturday and it was so good. It's a nice alternative to the typical cold wrap, especially on these cold days. By the way, we got hit with a foot of snow yesterday. I opened the garage door this morning to find 1.5 feet of snow banked against the door! =O The bf shoveled while I made dinner... he's so good.

#15 - Jambalaya Madness

I am in a lot of pain in what is suspected to be either an ear infection or a combination jaw & ear infection. why suspected? Because my doctor sucks, and is not available to see me until thursday... 5 days after the pain started! I am looking to switch doctors... but until then, I am going to go back to ice-packing the left side of my face. Sorry... =\ I am so grumpy now...
top tier: bean sprouts, applesauce w/ sprinkle of cinnamon, steamed broccoli
bottom tier: jambalaya with chicken breast

#14 - Steamed goodness

I'm using my new lock&lock bento box!!! It came as part of a 3-piece set of 100ml round, 180ml rectangular, and 600ml square (two shown here). I tested out the leak-proofness last week with soup, and it passed with flying colors. The two-tier bento has made enough appearances on this blog, so it was time to let l&l shine!

To be honest, I had absolutely nothing to pack for my bento except the bit of leftover stir fry noodles shown... or so I thought! Desperate to pack a healthy lunch (or attempt to... noodles is fairly heavy), I am so happy with the results of a well-stocked vegetable drawer and pantry items. The applesauce is organic, made with a hint of cinnamon... it's really good! The broccoli was thrown in the microwave with a splash of water, some minced garlic, salt and pepper. Bean sprouts were steamed in microwave, tossed with sesame oil, salt, pepper and a bit of soy. Yum!
