The last of my Thanksgiving leftovers... boo...
While I was eating my lunch yesterday, my delightful coworker Orzo said to me, "You're violating the rules of bento! I think covering anything in gravy immediately negates any healthy effect your bento might have." I responded by staring at him and slowly eating the rest of my delicious side dish of stuffing and turkey smothered in gravy. Do I care? Nope! (Also that's not a rule of bento; deep fried stuff makes it way into bento all the time, case in point.) So, today's super-gravy-bento is dedicated to him. It says, "Eat me." *grin*
Top tier: slices of stuffing, pan fried- that's right I said pan fried!!! crispity goodness; shredded turkey off the "small" drumsticks
Bottom tier: green beans with mushrooms; gravy baby
This is the very last of all of my Thanksgiving leftovers... sniffles... I wish I had more! Ah well... I can't wait for lunchtime!
Happy Bento'ing!!!
I love how people who don't make bentos have all sorts of rules about what constitutes "an actual bento."
ReplyDeleteOne of my co-workers "won't accept" any of my bento creations that aren't nestled within a legitamate bento box, reeking of Hello Kitty cuteness.
And I've read another blog where the daughter claims it isn't bento if it doesn't have a face on it. Too funny.
