(don't) forget your lunch

Hi! I'm Sam. I don't really cook...I think I just "assemble" food so I really like to make bento! I try to post as much as I can but I disappear for extended periods of time depending on my schedule :) I overwhelm myself sometimes, what can I say?

If you like me, check out my other blog forgot my head for my other creative, non-food things. Like fashion, because that's kind of what I'm studying at university.

Finally made time to make lunch!   I’ve just been so busy with school and some extra stuff (more on that eventually) that I really just needed some sleep….and some groceries!  And well, it’s Chinese New Year, so I thought I should do SOMETHING.  To be honest, I have never really celebrated it! My Mom just never really did anything for it, probably because all her side of the family is in Taiwan and the closest thing to a celebration was an assembly on the Friday night closest to it during my miserable years at Chinese school (where I learned nothing, but that’s beside the point).  I think she took me to Taiwan for it when I was around 8 or 9, but I don’t remember that either! (I was pretty miserable then too, what I horrible child I was).

Anyway, it’s the year of the rabbit!  My daddy’s year ^_^

Don’t pay attention to the bottom bunny in the red container…one of its eyes fell off…heh.  I made tamagoyaki for the first time today.  It was surprisingly easy!  But I wish I had a rectangular pan *hint hint*  And there were cara cara oranges at the grocery store yesterday.  So excited!  They are my very favourite, slightly pinker and much tastier than a navel orange.  Also, I don’t really like the name “navel orange”, so I’m biased in that way too.  

Happy new year everyone!

Sammiches, salad greens (from our aerogarden!), tamagoyaki, green beans, cheese and cara cara oranges.
