Mmm… Smoothies and muffins for breakfast.
…yes, I finally got a food processor. Luxury!
Proper post may be up later. Sorry about the lack of images – we’re having server problems over here.

The ultimate stuffed zucchini!

Remember those?

Today I left work earlier and was able to spend time on cooking! Yay! Finally!
I shouldn’t be so irrationally giddy about this, I’m sure… but who could resist when the end product looks like this?

Stuffed zucchini have a reputation for being the “Help, it’s harvest time and my garden is full of giant zucchini!” [...]

Breakfast bento breadrolls

The BF started working this Monday, hence the lack of bentos. But since I get hungry around 10 these days, I packed us some leftover pita with hummus, baba ghanoush, feta, carrot stripes, rucola and olives as breakfast:

I guess the reason I’m not numbering this one is this: I don’t see a box stuffed with [...]

Sunday cooking – mmm, organic veggies

This sunday was used to relax after a particularly nasty coding crunch until saturday – it’s not EA proportions yet, but still – and therefore, no fascinating culinary experiments were made.
Our dinner consisted of pitabread with Greek salad, hummus and baba ghanoush.
*whirls around* Did someone say “boring”?!?
Not my Greek salad!

My Greek salad, luxury edition, features [...]

Pears are worth a post too.

The good fruit fairy, who has in late summer put bags of freshly-ripened apples next to our mailbox, has returned – only this time the bag was full of pears!
I am somewhat ashamed of my childish squee over them. I guess while I never regarded them as something special they somehow are – rarer than [...]

Bento #103 – Happy Egg

A breakfast/snack box – since I have started training Aikido I actually start feeling hungry in the morning! And since I should go in early tomorrow to get as much work done as possible while the sun is still up, I thought I’d better get something to start me of well and soften the hunger [...]

Bento #102 – Lessons in Life are best taken from Bears

Pumpkin soup with bell-shaped pasta and vegetable “croutons” in the thermos container; mixed fruit in silicone muffin cups (for easier removal because I’ll use the container as soup bowl) in the bowl container.

Part 1 of my bento includes pumpkin soup that I had frozen last time I made soup and rewarmed for dinner. It’s poured [...]

Bento #101 – Eyes bigger than the box?

I wanted to make baked burritos oringinally which would have fit the box better on account of being rolled up and sealed by lovely melted cheese. But my kitchen was a mess and I kicked myself to clean it up instead, so I didn’t have time for that… so wraps it was!
They are filled with [...]

Bento #100!

And it only took me a full year… *mumble*
Bento #100 and what should I choose as a main attraction but… *drumroll* a sandwich. I don’t think I’ve ever made a sandwich the main attraction of a bento before!
But to my defense, it’s a sandwich topped with a lettuce leaf and One Hot Stove’s Eggplant Caponata. [...]

Bento #99 and no balloons anywhere in sight

OK, that was lame.
I was hoping to get to #100 this week but unexpected seminars and other disasters kept me from it. Or maybe I’ll manage to make #100 a picknick bento this weekend, but I doubt it.

Today’s bento is in the “male” box that I bought last time I was at the Japanese store. [...]
