And also, Bento
The other thing I forgot to mention is that I'm like six bento behind on my postings. I haven't been making them recently, so I'll do catch up bento posts at random for a while.
This one was made on July 24th, 2007. Its a pretty simple, if inauthentic bento. On the left is a cup of sushi rice (4 weight watcher's points) with a garnish of dried vegetable bits and seaweed (zero WW points). On the right is a sandwich of sweet red bean paste on whole wheat bread (I've forgotten the points for this one) and about an ounce worth of star candy (2 points). I cut the sandwich up in eight tiny triangles to arrange it (after toasting it and cutting the crusts off). I liked how this one turned out, although the red bean paste didn't add nearly as much to the mix as I might have liked.
On a tangential note, happy Veterans Day! Be sure to say thanks to all the men and women who have made sacrifices to defend our country and ideals. I know I'm thinking about you, Dad, and about Grandpa. :)
