In this bento: yakionigiri from Trader Joe's, slices of peach jam-glazed pork (peach jam is from Dry Creek Peach and Produce), a fresh fig, baby carrots, and slices of Early Girl tomato from The Patch. I'm going to Party on the Plaza in Rohnert Park tomorrow, so I will have time to do more market shopping then... gotta restock for delicious summer time bentos. I missed you, bento buddies!

Waking Up At 8:30am Bento
I've named this bento after what happened today, which after the last month, really seems like a miracle. :-) For almost a month, I have been covering for one or another vacationing co-worker on the morning news show. That means rolling out of bed at 4am, being coherent enough to write news stories at 4:30am, and then having enough brain power to talk without stumbling over my tongue at 5:30am. And I also had to do my own regular job in addition to covering the morning show. Ouchie. So this is really a celebration of the fact that I got up at a reasonable time today, and had the energy to actually make a bento. This is a small one, but I need to take baby steps while getting back into bento.

Ouch is right! How on earth did you manage on so little sleep! Good thing you've got this filling and nourishing bento to get you going again. Welcome back to reasonable hours!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much sheri! It was pretty brutal. I gained 4 pounds and was rude to people I like. Adequate sleep is so important! I'm happy to be back to bento!
ReplyDeleteSleep deprivation is akin to being drunk, only not as much fun, so get some sleep!!! :)

ReplyDeleteHaha, Tamar1973! I've been joking with my chef friends that I want headcheese since I'm like a zombie and need brains. :)
