BENTO!

[morgan]

I recalled today that I have a class in the morning. Yeah, I'm a really bad student, what of it? Anyway, in this realization came the knowledge that I had to put together a lunch because we're broke, and the deli by that particular campus is delicious, but pricey and slow. So, I had to put together stuff from what we have, which is getting a bit slap-dash at this point. We have no bread, no milk, and I can't bring anything that needs to be microwaved, because I don't think that campus has anything more kitchen-y than a vending machine. This means no dinner leftovers, which tend to by my bento main-stays. I grabbed my flat blue Bento Box that fits in the cooler compartment of my backpack and started poking around. Had rice cakes and peanut butter, but wasn't in the mood for that, had falafel chips, but no hummus, and wasn't in the mood to whip any up. Found corn chips with the falafel chips, and remembered that we have a HUGE bottle of salsa in the fridge. So, Bento for tomorrow is:

Salsa with a few chunks of cheese from the farmer's market marinating in it in the main compartment.

In the veggie compartment are some baby carrots that will also be nice with the salsa.

In the protein compartment is some chicken that I stole from my roommate. *blows kisses to azremodehar*

And, to go with all of that, a baggie of corn chips. Yes, I know, it's all supposed to fit in the box, and I COULD crush the chips up to mix with the cheese and salsa, but...ew. Especially by the time I get to it tomorrow.

For drinks in the 90F+ heat I have a giant bottle of water and a foil pouch of juice. Might post pics tomorrow, we'll see if I have time. ^_^
