Feisty Bento #214: Packages, Presents, Korean food, and Giant Sized Coffee Cups

I apologize for being so remiss these past few days. 

I had lunch out the other day.

Yesterday, I had a lot of stuff to do and wound up not going into the office, and therefore did not bring a bento.

One of the things I had to do was go to the post office to pick up this package.  You see, I tend to shop online a lot for a myriad of reasons, not least of all my fear of crowds.  (I alternate between panic attacks or screaming at people.  Ok, who am I kidding, I mostly scream at people.)  So I placed an order, and eagerly awaited it.  For some reason, instead of leaving the package at my door (which they've done in the past), the USPS decided to leave me a notice for pick up.  (They have a key to enter the lobby, for mail delivery, so they totally have access to my apartment door.)

See the part I circled?  WTF?  The post office closes at 5.  I work about an hour's commute away from this post office (near home), and I get off work at 5:30.  Most people get off work at 5.  This is an inconvenience and annoyance at best.  Growl.  Seriously?  Can I file a formal complaint with them?  (My neighbors aren't going to steal my mail.  And USPS has left plenty of stuff at my door before!)

Then I went to visit my mom (to do my laundry, cough cough - sorry, it's picky of me but she's close enough I can walk to her place to do the laundry, and I just can't get behind the idea of washing my clothes in machines that strangers also use.  I grew up with a washing machine, you see?) and found this waiting for me:

THANKS MOMMY!!!  You're the bestest!  What a great housewarming gift, I can finally start making good rice again!  (I've been using, sparingly, two crappy rice cookers that do not make rice as well as this machine will.  How do I know?  Because my mom has one, and I used hers for the first 8 months of bento!)

Korean bento!

Left to right: marinated cuttlefish; ground pork "pancakes" (that's what the package said!); Woorijip spicy chicken

Yummy, that was delicious!

And something funny I saw this morning on the bus... which I didn't get a good snapshot, he wouldn't turn around:

The interesting people I see while riding the bus!  Hehe.

HAPPY BENTO and HAPPY LABOR DAY!!!  Enjoy the long weekend, my US based readers!!!
