Bento # 34

I have been using this set of bento box over and over again. Why? Because I can't get rid of the food smell after washing. So, will leave it out to air and then the next day instead of taking out a new one just use them again because don't want to get all of them smelling like food... make sense?


This was yesterday bento. The night before SIL cooked noodles, stir fried capsicum, julienne cucumber, mixed it up with black rice vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Simply delicious!! I didn't even warm it up.

I thought it might not be enough as I had twice that amount the night before and also because got this sautéed minced meat with capsicums that mum made during the weekend. The original recipe was Aunty Mary’s, using mock duck meat. But mum said better to stay away from China made product with so many unflattering news about them. Supposed to spread it on the bun and add cheese on top and toast it. But I just have it like that with the noodles. And that's apple in the other box.

I already had a couple of 'epok-epok' that Fiona bought for breakfast when the phone rang...

My ex-driver called to ask me to collect a piece of her father's birthday cake which she promised to bring but I forgot all about it. Its Secret Recipe's Chocolate mud cake......


I can tell you I didn't have a chance to feel hungry yesterday.......

Your mom is very pleased that you put up the picture of the mince meat and capsicum, and credited her. Started telling me abt the story of Aunt Mary too, and she was even more pleased you put in the story too..... haha

How are you going to survive with SIL in Alor Setar and mom here? Oh, there's still Fiona's mom, and ex-driver?? You'd better live up to Paul's praise and "wake up early to make bento". haha...

was trying to add this last night but to no avail:

I have this same problem with this particular color bento box too! and there is even a slight discoloration in the container as well!

Emily said...

p.s.: it that the only slice of mud cake? That size is just the right portion for dieters!

hopefully its the only slice for tea yesterday!

Biblo said...

It was the only slice but was for mid morning coffee not afternoon tea.... LOL!!!

Makes me hungry again... lol

So sorry for not being absent lately... my hands are sooooo full at the moment!

Please extend my regards to everybody at NNC... also, do you have Radha's email? I sent her a couple of emails at radha50@yahoo, as I thought that was her addy... but failed.

We're getting ready here for the Thanksgiving next Thursday, I'm preparing myself for a busy cooking day on Wednesday & Thursday morning... I gotta prepare appetizers (bacon wrap, & pastry wrap lil smokies), cherry-topped cheescake, brocolli-rice-cheese casserole, chinese fried rice, & probably philippine's flan (custard).

Can't wait to start baking/cooking!.:)

Hugs,
Lody

Looks like you are going to have a big celebration for Thanksgiving!

Hugs!!
