    Today's bento was simple. Just leftover duck, lychee and petai green curry with a fish egg.

    The fish egg is adorable. I didn't have work today but had the best post lifting/jogging lunch so took a picture of part of it. Went to a sushi place where you pick different plates as they go by and the pricing is color coded. Here were two of the plates I had.

    Oh, I've always wanted to go to one of those places! I, sadly, am the only person I know that eats sushi :frowning:

    I either keep forgetting to take pictures of my food, or forget to post them (can't brain, have the dumb) here's one from earlier this week:

    @HanamiDango What kind of gravy is that?

    @mangrothian The color contrast is beautiful. I just want to grab the corn through the screen.

    @bunnyxhime It is just plain country/white gravy. For this batch I think I did
    2 tablespoons olive oil and 1.75 tablespoons butter, 5 tablespoons flour (50 grams), 2 1/4 cups 2% milk, 1 teaspoon plus salt, 3 dashes Black Pepper
    I am not exact with this recipe since I can't have it (dairy intolerant) but I cook it by the way it looks too.

    It looks so yummy; thanks for sharing the recipe!

    This weekend I found some cheap but useful "Bentgo" boxes for six dollars at TJ Maxx. They're fifteen on Amazon. Might be worth checking out if you've got Marshalls/TJ Maxx/Home Goods nearby and interested...

    The US gets all the good sales *pouts*

    @pixiegoddess with the cost of accommodation for me in the US with the Australian dollar being so shite at the moment, I consider that a total bargain ^_^

    OOH thanks! I will have to go! I get all my good kitchen stuff there, and have found my only actual Bento Box there. I don't use that one much, something to remember I have!

    First time I went to one was with my dad cause he never has anyone to go eat sushi with over in Utah, but this last time I went solo after the gym. I might go again one of these days. No bentos lately as I have a cold and just doing heated up soup and such, the easy kind bought right at work cause they were on sale last week. This week, we will see after my "days off" (quote cause I worked over an hour today) and how I'm feeling what foods will happen.

    And such a yummy lunch it is! What type of crackers are those?

    I'm lazy with my bentos atm. Salads and the like because it's been so hot. Might have the energy to get around to one tomorrow. Might even remember to take a photo too...

    Mmmm...fruit salad! I never thought of putting oranges of any kind in mine, but I enjoy clementines a lot. ^^

    Nyawww, I can't disappoint my adorable little kouhai now can I? *pats*

    Tomorrows bento is ginger and soy pork with rice and veg. I pulled out my Christmas cookie cutter and I have some sort of Chrissie trees and some snowflakes
