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.

Hee! I love Bento - I'm a teacher in England and when we do our unit on Japan, we go over what a bento is and i am hoping to make them with the kids in the summer. You should check out http://www.bentobusiness.co.uk/ - they have lots of neat recipes and many of them can be easily adapted to low-cal or other diet. And they have some examples of boxes that are a bit easier to strive for - not wuite so elaborate! If only i have to time to do this kind of thing. Maybe I should look into trying for a week and seeing how that goes. Hmmmm....
