A Couple of Things

I've recently acquired a fascination with Bento. Anyone else on my flist do this? I decided that this week I'm going to try and do Bento every day for lunch. Of course I will never make anything that







but one can aspire. I bought enough stuff today so that if I do some pre-cooking tomorrow I ought to be able to have a healthful, attractive lunch every day this week.

Also, I love this scene (which only lasted a few seconds) from Greeks Bearing Gifts. I've only ever seen it referenced once in a fic but I find it really intriguing that Ianto is debriefing Tosh. Clearly Gwen and Owen couldn't do it, given the circumstances but it's interesting Ianto was given the task. Also, note the table, there are coffee cups at each place, there must have been a group meeting before the others left and Ianto conducted the debrief.

As I was led to understand it, such bento are made for children by mothers who clearly get up way too early in the morning. Japan has some weird social expectations.

I like that bit from Greeks, too. It's actually in something I'm writing right now, and Ianto gets the job because Jack has just sent Mary to her death, so he figures Tosh might need someone more sympathetic to talk to for a while.

Oh excellent! Can't wait to read it.
