Midnight Cocktail Hour at the bento box

Whoa. It went from winter to summer around here in one day, seems like. A couple of nights ago I was huddling under a down comforter. Tonight I’m sitting out on my porch barefoot, moonlight filtering in through the bamboo (though, honestly? It can’t really compete with the poetic glow of my computer screen), a light breeze stirring the leaves. And my potatoes have sprouted!
I’ve been bento-ing. It’s part of Project Empty, my big life-decluttering. Simplify, reduce, reuse, eat better, eat less, slow down: an attractive and reusable bento box containing a modest, well-balanced, home-prepared breakfast and lunch, wrapped in a pretty furoshiki, has turned out to be my newest obsession meet a number of criteria in my radically altered way of life.
On my honor, I promise to take this to one of the many, many bento forums online hereafter, but…pictures. Just this once.
