#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...

#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!

bento clockwise: steamed broccoli, cinnamon apple sauce, beef & wide noodle stir fry, bean sprouts

#13 - ugh

Here's to another beginning to the work week! This past week has not been my best. The first part of last week was spend battling the stomach bug, and the second part to an ear infection. Won-der-ful! Hopefully, the ear infection will go away in another couple of days... until then, here's to ringing ears and dull pain.
