The saucy jettatore fluttered the dovecots with the purfled celibatarian, or What's for Lunch Wednesday.

I'm back with a bento. Here's a shared snack we brought to the pool the other day:

On the left are no-bake brownie fifteens (recipe from Healthful Pursuit) and pecans, and on the right, some dried fruit and orange slices.

And a picture of the boys:

 Strawberries, cheese, ants on a log with figs, pretzel, sunburst tomatoes, and mixed nuts:














Carrots for dad & sunburst tomatoes for Z, trail mix, sardine and avocado sandwich (covered for Z so his friend who told him his figs looked like poop wouldn't make fun of him):














Quinoa meatloaf muffins, chocolate chip bunny cookies, clementines, sunburst tomatoes:

The tellurian hodmandod scamandered with the feuillemorte nimfadoro, or Fruit mosaic bento for an 8-year-old.

The fubsy gravedo congratulated the anorchous winbrow, or Mostly healthy bentos.

I was too busy eating cupcakes and whoopie pies for my birthday yesterday to post any bentos, but here is today's Easy Lunchbox bento for Zachary:

(turkey & cheese sandwich, carrots, blackberries, and half a double chocolate cupcake from Society Bakery in Dallas)

And a couple of pre-Christmas bentos I neglected to post before now:

(pasta shells with zucchini, leeks and melted cheese; chips; baby spinach, walnuts, pears, and goat cheese)

(vegan chocolate banana zucchini bread, carrots, curried chickpeas with spinach and potatoes)

The pasta and curried chickpeas recipes can be found in a cookbook I highly recommend, SOS! The Six O'Clock Scramble to the Rescue, by Aviva Goldfarb, and the vegan chocolate banana zucchini bread recipe can be found at Anja's Food 4 Thought.

The multivagant gym suit performed for the voiceless lidge, or Muesli bento.

Zachary went to school yesterday with a muesli bento (and some grapes, grape tomatoes and baby carrots). Milk to add later was in a separate container.

Here's our recipe for muesli, which we don't usually have for lunch, but Zachary had a little trouble getting up, so he got his breakfast for lunch:

3 cups rolled oats
1 cup nuts (we used slivered almonds, and chopped walnuts and cashews)
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pepitas
handful of chia seeds
1/2 cup cranberries
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup chopped apricots

Into each serving we usually add honey or maple syrup and fresh fruit.

Alex and I were married on the palindromic 8/9/98 and celebrated our 12th anniversary this Monday, 8/9/10. If he's lucky and I get up in time, I usually send him off to work with a turkey and cheese sandwich, but on Monday, our "silk" anniversary, I made the above bento lunch (pictured atop a red play silk, which was finally used for something other than a superhero cape or a river of blood).
