A “Midnight Diner” episode featured harusume noodles, so I’ve finally made up my mind to give it a go – in particular to help fill me up rather than fill my lunch with rice or fried chicken… the standard recipes are fairly lightly flavoured but probably healthy. This one is a work in progress if […]

Ah, it’s that time of year when the sky looks much nicer than the outdoor temperatures, but it does seem like things are slowly warming up. A decent selection this time, naturally I should probably attempt to do more vegetarian or vegan lunches. April 4 Lunchbox overflow is no bento, it’s probably 2 meals! Noodles, […]

One thing about listening to radio over the weekend I like are ones with food programmes, and this time what set the household salivating was “everyday lentils”. In addition to a slow roast and left over curry, it’s been another week deviating from the norm. Except the part where it was all very good – […]

Not a very inspiring week to branch out of the what is seeming to be a regular menu, I’ve tried to resurrect some older ideas to at least provide something different with making piri piri and packing steamed broad beans. Unfortunately, despite how common some of the dishes are they are tasty addictive… March 21 […]

A very very good yet very very bad week. The bad news is, that there may have been a few things that would go straight to the thighs. The good news is they were cooked by the other half and were indeed very very very tasty. Also confirms the difficulty in trying to reduce the […]

I’ve attempted to add more variety by planning out alternate days with the other easy shop favourite: beef mince. The routine is ok with 2 sets of lunches though spreading my concentration on both definitely is exhausting. I should remember to break away from having a veggie pasta and bibimbap every week – I might […]

Slightly better this week, but chicken still dominates. After being comfortable with the roast veg recipe, I’m making it more often to at least take some of the animal protein allocation in my lunches. Oh and cabbage – because they last for ages. February 29 After all the errands on Sunday, home time in the […]

Not much has improved with diversifying from chicken – it’s embarrassing that I’ve fallen into that trap too when I pride myself in trying to have a decent collection of lunchable food. It’s definitely easy to blame the second-lunch project with wraps, and I’ve tried to ensure some variety of flavours to them too – […]

Hi I’m Kit, and I’m addicted to karaage chicken… It’s so unfair that for most of the things I find tasty they are laden with fat and oil – and if not, they are full of complex carbohydrates. So, this week was practically owned by chicken. At least it’s compatible with making wraps, which would […]

Overall, I think I recovered from beery festivities well (because, the one thing to do is serve beer – that way you can’t really afford to drink on the job). In the meantime, I’ve tried a new regiment and try to make 2 lunches, though there is the added difficulty that the second lunch needs […]
