I guess there are worse things to be than a lazy accidental vegan but it seems dinner provided plenty of leftovers. Lunch is eggplant and zucchini coconut curry, “everyday” dhal, coconut and cardimom basmati rice, cucumber and tomato salad and steamed broccoli.

I am very conflicted in the eating of eel as it’s both tasty and endangered, so after this experiment I might be able to relive the experience… Sort of…
Lunch is simmered hijiki and carrot, “fauxnagi” (kabayaki bream), pickled radish, takuan, steamed broccoli, steamed peas and tomato.
The smoked salt and sansho help, but it’s no confusing it for eel; however it still tastes pretty good. Summer fauxnagi: I can live with that as a new tradition

According to Google Plus I’ve recorded just over 800 lunches I’d classify as bento (eaten out of the box, and not plating) with this account.

Lunch is steamed broccoli, beef croquettes n shredded cabbage, rice with yukari and umeboshi, chunky tzatziki, simmered hijiki and carrot and pickled radishes
