vegan chicken salad...

wasn't good. My daughter likes their dumplings but not this salad.

Here is the rest of this week's lunch.

-red beans and rice

-vegan chicken salad (from micro vegetarian, tasted like ice cream..) and spinach and carrot, dates

-Aunt Gussie's gluten-free cookie (gussie...)

-Sea Chips

The red beans and rice this butch was good. I'll share my recipe soon. Even born in New Orleans husband said fantastic. Yay!

-brown rice with nori

-kinpira carrot

-sesame garlic tempeh

-boiled broccoli

Kinpira is sweet and soy saucey, Japanese favorite flavor. (especially kids)

(for 2 people's bento)

1 carrot -cut into fine strips

sesame seeds

a bit of sugar

a bit of soy sauce

a bit of water

pan and rid

1. Sesame seeds in a pan, over medium heat. Roast a bit.

2. throw carrot strips in the pan.

3. Stir fry about 1 or 2 minutes

4. Pour about 3T of water and put rid on to steam until the carrot is tender . The water will be almost gone, I think.

5. Put about 1t of sugar.

6. Put about 1T of soy sauce.

7. Taste it, and add more soy sauce or maybe sugar.

You might already notice, I didn't measure...

-wild rice mix

-boiled broccoli

-coconut curry tempeh

-spinach saute with garlic

-chips(from wholefoods, it's non-GMO!)

-salsa (from a bottle, Green Mountain Gringo)

Taking a picture is difficult.

Today's lunch :

-curry pilaf with tempeh and spinich
-cumin and mustard seed potatoes with cashew from last night
-nuts and dates

-3 slices of apple
-half of coconuts bread muffin

Monday dinner is Indian food. I recently decided. So Tuesday's bento is curry kind of flavor.

She has eating all her lunch lately, so the muffin was a little treat. Other half? I ate it, of course. I eat left over's left over every lunch, I should deserve it. We don't eat wheat much any more other than my bread, so it's special.


I took two pictures of today's lunch. One was too dark, almost brown, one is this one. Plastic wrap got all the light...

stink bug

I got information about the stink bugs on our screen doors and windows.

They are trying to get warm.

The global warming is making different cycle for stink bugs. Summer now is just long enough for them to reproduce another generation. The stink bugs on our screen door are trying to survive from cooler temperature.

I'm sure there are more lives around us that affected by the global warming. Where is the toad that I saw last year? How about the turtle? I hope they are happy somewhere safe and also hope human can make better decisions for them to live too.

Today's lunch.

-quinoa

-left over from Saturday night's steamed kale with Greenlife dumpling sauce, hot and sweet and sesamy.

-sunshine burger

-garlic sesami tempeh

-bit of shredded beets

-one baby carrot

-two baby leave of spinich
