This is a "Cleaning Out The Fridge" lunch if there ever was one. Well and also, I wanted something hot and comfort food-y because it was supposed to be raining all day and I wanted to take it with me to my little secret park. I went there yesterday for lunch for the first time in forever (with the big work project, I hadn't been leaving the office at lunchtime because I was only in the office one day a week as it was). Which was one of my main reasons for wanting the Ms. Bento -- being able to take a hot lunch to the park without first having to stop by the office kitchen, unpack everything, heat up whatever, and then repack it all and go to the park.
;)
- leftover homemade chili -- can't get much more comfort food-y than that
- chicken basil sausage in a hot dog bun (cut up in thirds, obviously), with carrot sticks as gap fillers -- I had this one lone hot dog bun to use up, and just happened to have a single sausage that needed to be eaten up, so
- Marcott tangerine, with a small container of sour cream in the middle; dark chocolate almond clusters in the other half
I'm pleased to report that my plan worked really well, the Ms. Bento did great for exactly what I wanted, and as you can see from the pics taken on the passenger seat of my car, I was able to retreat to my little hideaway with my lunch and a book.
