Bentocracy: January 2010
http://bentocracy.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 11, 2010. I hope everyone had a great holiday season and the first weeks of the new year have been treating you right. My trip to Hawaii was great! We went scuba diving, hiking, and got to see Humpback whales. I'll post some food-related photos from the cruise in a few days or so. Some days I feel like you can't win with food. Fish has mercury, soy can disrupt your hormone balance, meat is bad for your arteries, fruits and veggies are contaminated with pesticides. 4 oz chicken breast.

Bentocracy: May 2011
http://bentocracy.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 10, 2011. Well, it looks like I'm still getting back into the bento groove. Tomorrow's lunch is pan-grilled chicken tenderloins, a couple mushroom ravioli, and sauteed zucchini, with fresh raspberries and blackberries for dessert. There's definitely not enough color or contrast in the main box :P. Sunday, May 8, 2011. Sunday is Farmers' Market day here, which means I get great fresh local goodies for my Monday lunch. Bentomaybe not quite. But I'm still looking forward to my fresh lunch.

Bentocracy: September 2010
http://bentocracy.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 1, 2010. Another quick and easy lunch with a green salad, multicolored tomatoes, and red onions and two wedges of an egg-white and mushroom quiche. I have to admit the quiche is straight from Costco. They're tasty, reasonably healthy, freeze well, and are easy to pop in the oven mid-week. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Los Angeles, California.

Bentocracy: August 2009
http://bentocracy.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. For today's lunch, I scrambled an egg, then fried it into a thin sheet in a circular pan. I then filled it with some fried rice, then tied the entire package with a long chive. A bit more rice is on the side of the 'beggar's purse,' and some ripe tomato wedges and basil leaves from my patio garden garnish the side. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Pinwheels, Peaches, and Pachyderms. The bottom box is fresh peach wedges accompanied by carrot hearts. Monday, August 24, 2009. The artic...

Bentocracy: Tomato Salad Thursday
http://bentocracy.blogspot.com/2010/08/tomato-salad-thursday.html
Thursday, August 19, 2010. There's a pretty decent Farmers' Market near my home on Tuesdays. This week I bought a bunch of organic heirloom tomatoes.purple, red, yellow, green, and orange. Delicious! Here they are, cut into chunks and tossed with fresh mozzerella on a bed of arugula with a sprinkling of basil chiffonade on top. A drizzle of balsamic vinegar rounds out the salad.

Bentocracy: Luxembürgerli!
http://bentocracy.blogspot.com/2010/10/luxemburgerli.html
Friday, October 22, 2010. Luxembürgerli are luscious, bento-worthy cookies made by Sprüngli, a chocolatier / pastier in Switzerland. They're like little macaroons (the European version, not the American cookie made with coconut)- little cookies sandwiching buttercream or chocolate ganache in the middle. Flavors included chocolate and bourbon vanilla, but also champagne, salted caramel, hazelnut, mandarin, and absinthe. The cookie is as light and melts away in your mouth with rich, sweet flavor. Photos fr...

Bentocracy: Cakee Bites ZOMGFTW
http://bentocracy.blogspot.com/2011/05/cakee-bites-zomgftw.html
Tuesday, May 3, 2011. Hello all, and yes, I know, It's been a while.But I'm back.at least as regularly as I have ever been;) Since I last posted I've moved to a new city and started a new job. It's been a busy few months. I had a birthday recently, and a friend gifted me what has to be the next big thing in the dessert world. Unfortunately, mine didn't last long enough to make it into a bento, so no in-situ pics. This time, at least. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Los Angeles, California.

Bentocracy: July 2009
http://bentocracy.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Mr Toro is on his 4th consecutive day of being ill. He visited a physician yesterday, but they told him it was a (non-H1N1) flu so there was nothing to do but treat the symptoms with over-the-counter medication. So, it may be that I end up eating his lunch myself (again) but I still had fun making it. Today's bento is another vegetarian (though not vegan) offering as there is a little cheese in the pasta dish. But made some changes. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. The Bentocracy is Back!

Bentocracy: November 2009
http://bentocracy.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. A belated 'Happy Thanksgiving' to all. We spent the holiday in Los Angeles with some friends and family. Tomorrow's lunch is Cajun-spiced Orange Roughy with red beans and brown rice, and cauliflower and broccoli. Dessert is orange wedges and giant red globe grapes. It was a really hearty, really healthy, darned tasty dinner- under 500 calories and 5 grams of fat, and I'm stuffed. Monday, November 16, 2009. Orange Chicken and Hawai'i Dreams. On the plus side, my big brother and ...
