Make an Effort Monday

I was somewhat motivated Sunday night, so I did a lot of prep work and packed bentos for Miranda, Veronica and I. I threw together a pasta salad that had Miranda's interest and she asked to take some instead of her ubiquitous peanut butter sandwich.
So Miranda's bento was pasta salad, grapes, strawberries, and a mini Snickers bar that I snuck in and she probably won't eat. It is in her traditional box. It is pink and bears the legend: "Bonjour les fleurs! Les deux oiseaux volent toujours ensemble, Que nous passions une bonne journee!"

 

  

Veronica took a mini shepherds pie I popped out of the freezer and cooked the night before, some salad (dressing in the blue case, sunflower seeds and bacon bits in the little green container),grapes and strawberries. The box is one of my favorites because is says: "Dolphins are the warm hearted guides to the masic world." We don't know what the masic world is, but we're glad dolphins can take us there.

Finally, my lunch was three shumai, soy sauce, strawberries, some pasta salad, a little hot mustard (in the yellow container),and a green salad (with a little cheddar cheese and sunflower seeds). This box is a Hakoya brand box - very elegant and simple. I like it a lot.
