Book Description
copyright forever, Gary Larson
I was asked to make a separate book just for this, so here it is.
What the hell is this?
Just another facet of my already boring life - trying out the self-indulgent Mommie-blawger thang by taking pictures of food and sharing them on the internet.
But why?
I find myself lacking for lunch ideas sometimes, so here I will chronicle what I make for my 5-year old and occasionally my 10-year old for school lunch. I’ll try to remember to add notes about what was well received and what was not.
The problem with the whole bento box thing is that I’m painfully lazy and don’t want to fart around with fancy-pants food. Most of what I pack is something cooked plain or washed and cut up without extra processing. I’d like to blame it on just being busy but I also hate packing lunch so there.
Mim is five and eats pretty much anything (thank goodness). Right now she’s not much into cheese or pickles. Her classroom is peanut and tree nut free so I’ve got to get a little creative with quick and easy proteins.
Lame.
Yeah, well, it keeps me off the streets.
