Lunch for Wednesday, June 27, 2012
I wanted to make today's lunch something easy and that I could enjoy on a hot day. It has been over 100 every day all week. And my coworker still wants to eat lunch outside. I know I could say no but it is nice to get out of the office.

Today's lunch has some leftover mini pizza I made for dinner last night, a mini sweet pepper, broccoli, grape tomatoes, small container of ranch dressing, an orange and some grapes. Simple.
Lunch for Monday, June 25, 2012
We finally hit triple digit temperatures here in Oklahoma. I dislike the extreme heat. It makes me want to just stay in my nice comfy air conditioned home and work. But I still ate my lunch outside today. I think my coworker that suggested has lost a marble or two. Probably from the heat.
For today's lunch I have some white rice with a seasoning sprinkled on top, some tempera shrimp, sautéed green beans, grape tomatoes, egg, mini sweet pepper, broccoli and in a side container I had an orange and grapes.

Long time no blog. I can't believe it has been over four months since I posted a bento. Sure I have made one or two since I posted but I never posted it.
I was whining to one of my friends/co-workers about missing making my lunches and also pointed out the fact of how much $$$$ I have been spending on eating out. Mostly the response was that if I wanted to be cheap I could start hanging out with our cheapest, penny pinchingist co-worker. Kind of pissed me off. But of course I got over it.
Then I was hearing excuses from the same co-worker about not knowing what to fix for lunch and I think the word hate was used to describe fixing a lunch. This co-worker is on a modified low carb diet. I started naming off all the different thing that I would put in my lunch if I was dieting like that (I probably should diet). And it was decided that I would make our lunch for today.
Since I was out of anything resembling bento material I made a trip to the store. I also got a new refrigerator yesterday too so I had to fill it up. :-)
So for today's lunches we have deli turkey with cucumber, carrots and bell pepper rolled in. The cucumber and bell pepper came from one of our farm neighbors. Yeah us! Also we have boiled eggs, broccoli, carrots, snap peas, mini sweet peppers, grape tomatoes, celery, bell pepper, beef strips, chicken strips, & cucumber leaves I carved with an x-acto. Don't remember who's blog I saw that on, but thanks for the great idea! For mine I added a small orange and a Babybel cheese and left out the extra carrots and celery.
So there we have it. A bento at last!
