The other night was date night in our house. Usually, we'd go out but we just took delivery of a freezer full of meat from Town & Country Foods. We're stocked for the year and it seemed silly to pay someone else to cook steaks that I've got in my freezer. Well, I didn't really notice the size of the steaks I took out - until I thought about portions. We ate one of the two steaks and cooked the other. It turned into a rather substantial lunch for 2.
Layer 1: The first course is the usual veggies and cheese. There are more mini peppers here than usual. I had a package that needed to be eaten and I usually only use 1 a day. Today each bento contains 3. Dessert is sliced peach with miniature grapes. These grapes are the cutest thing I've found at Walmart in a while. They are lovely sweet grapes but tiny enough that they seem scaled for the bento. Ok... They were a little pricey for grapes, but they are cute!!! :0)
Layer 2: Here we have steak, sliced so that it is easy for DD to eat in the middle of class. I've combined the side dishes: potatoes and green beans that are tossed in brown butter with rosemary and almonds.
