Well, its my last week at work this week and while I'm worried about the obvious things like jobs and money I must admit I'm quite sad at the prospect of not having a lunch to pack everyday. I know it probably means I need to get more of a life but simple pleasures are always the best.
So today I packed some carrot sticks and hummus in the tiny Hello kitty box, they actually fit really nicely. The Hummus is just Tesco's own brand. I know loads of people make their own versions and its quite easy to do but I don't have a food processor so its a bit of a chore - plus I don't go a whole bundle on the taste of olive oil which seems to be prevalent in homemade ones. Usually I'm quite happy with shops own but Tesco have just changed theirs to a spicier version and the jury's still out on whether I prefer it to the original or not.
In the main lunchbox there is the last of the weekends sushi, I made it on Saturday and its not at its best now but still better than supermarket fare, there is also a wagashi which is a common Japanese snack treat made of puffed rice and various sweet and savoury ingredients this one contains cocoa powder but is still not "sweet" The next tray had some fruit salad in the beautiful golden pineapple is in season and really at its best right now. The top contains some Wasabi peas, a chocolate egg, jelly beans, sun dried bananas, cherry tomatoes and a triangle of cheese. The black rectangle you can see on the sushi is Roasted Nori, this one has been seasoned to make a tasty snack. This is on my list of things to learn to make.
Not greatly inspriring but filling and tasty.
