Always bento

Just because it's a cute, Japanese-style lunchbox doesn't mean you can't put a sandwich in there. Above: eggplant-couscous salad, orange slices, lemon bar with shortbread crust, and a tofurkey and spinach sandwich on homemade bread (I just make little rectangular buns to fit in the compartment). Incidentally,
Candy Penny and I bought our bento boxes around the same time, and I enjoy seeing what she's putting in hers. Check out that black quinoa! And by the way, you know about this vegan bento site, right? I wouldn't be toting a cute, satisfying, practically-waste-free lunch every day if it weren't for Jennifer's blog.

On an unrelated note, I'm exhausted by school and work. And although Ben and I try to keep ourselves and our home clean and civilized, last night we saw a mouse in the living room (guess it wanted to watch the debate) and mold under the kitchen sink. Gross.
