A Couple of Things

[quinn222]

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.

That bento is beautiful. One guy I went to school with always had nice lunchboxes. Nothing like this, but his mother would cut the sandwiches in small squares, add small fruit, a bit of cucumber, those tiny tomatoes and before christmas homemade datesweets. he once explained to us, how she had everything prepared, put out four boxes in the mornings (big family) and add everything in the same order to all of them. Bit like they do at fast food places. ;o) I always thought it was a good way to make healthy meals more exciting.

The scene above somehow went past me until now, but I haven't seen all the episodes more than once or twice yet. It does make sense though. Ianto was the least involved into what happened during the episode. He didn't have a secret, that hurt Tosh, he didn't sentence her lover to death. Also he is quite good at molding himself to what the person he is dealing with wants/needs at the moment. So it was probably easier for her to be debriefed by hi.

I think that's really sweet, that she'd take the time and care to do that for her family. It's not something anyone really has time for so you have to carve out the time.
