Curry in a Hurry Bento
As usual, I have to bow my head in shame for such a late post. This bento was produced last week, but as has been the usual mantra lately work and life obligations have kept me from making lunch for my eaters. I'm helping out with a friends wedding and another party so I'm still busy in the kitchen, just not doing anything exciting enough that I feel the need to take pictures and talk about it.
Sadly, I was in a giant hurry to make lunch for this bento. I felt so bad about not getting to cook for such a while but I still had such a crunch on time that I couldn't really devote myself to a long planned out lunch. I picked a menu that I knew I could execute quickly and still keep light and healthy. Asian cuisine is good for the quick and healthy constraints and of course Thai is a favorite amongst my diners. In fact when I shouted over the cube walls, "hey I need a theme" there were quite a few chirps of "Thai, curry, Indian" seems like my audience had an Asian craving.
At the same time I was making this bento, I was whipping up a batch of my father's hot and sour soup just for myself. I ended up with so much leftover I went ahead and packed it in.
Sorry for the light post. I'm just happy to have gotten it out there. I'm have to take another break this weekend as both party events that I'm helping out are happening on Friday and Saturday leaving me with no time for planning and executing a bento.
Oh in other news, someone here in austin is organizing a bake sale to help with the good folks in Japan. I've agreed to whip up some baked goodies to help with the effort. I'll put up a post on more details as I get them, I believe the bake sale is on the 2nd of April. So please, if you get a chance come by and buy some goodies to help out!
