Ooof, what a crazy day!
Thankfully, I had a really nice lunch, courtesy of my dear husband, The Angry Chef. I told him last night that my day today would most likely be nuts, so he got up earlier than usual to make me an extra nice lunch.
Sometimes, it’s the little things that get you through the day.
Yummy bento lunch + Ramones playlist on iTunes = A little bit of sanity right when I needed it.
Enough said. (Well, almost.)
I’d also like to share the spiffy new bag I snagged to tote my bento around in.
Made by the stylish and crafty folks at Built NY, the Hungry Tote is the perfect size to keep my bento box (and a Greek yogurt and an apple) safe and unmolested in the communal office fridge for the morning.
I discovered it on our recent trip to Whole Foods, and picked it up, despite the fact that it’s marketed as a tote for baby-type equipment like bottles and such.
For just about $20, it’s washable, insulated, and unassuming�and exactly what I was looking for.
Allow me to present Tuesday’s bento.
Bottom Tier
Stir-fried sesame beef with garlic, ginger, snow peas, carrots, and mushrooms.
