Last night I forgot to set my alarm, so this morning I woke up 15 min late. Now, I have my morning routine down and there is not 15min to spare at all. I even lay out my clothes the night before to minimise on "wake-up dither" as it means I can get dressed without thinking. I made up some of that sleep-in time by not making my lunch today. I grabbed some fruit and a biscotti and rushed out the door. I still missed my regular bus, but made it into work by the skin of my teeth.
I went for a short walk at lunch time and bought a sandwich and then I ate it. It was a really unsatisfying lunch. It was not the size or calorie content of the sandwich. It was just.. I wanted the lunch that I was going to pack! I missed getting to eat all my little individual pieces. It was really quick to eat too. It reinforced that I really enjoy *my* packed lunches. This is a good thing.
Here's the lunch I had yesterday:
Click on it to be taken to my flickr and see all the notes etc I put :) Oh yeah, I didn't eat all those biscotti, I just left the 2 I did take in their container when I took the photo!.
I would have had basically the same lunch today, although with slightly diff veg.
Tuesday night, my beau cooked dinner for me. It was spiced beef (like Fotalad made me last week). While that was all cooking, I tried my hand at making biscotti. I was originally disappointed with how flat they were, but I've since decided I really like them just the way they are. They weren't even truly cut on the diagonal (which is how biscotti are supposed to be cut), just on a bit of a slant. Admire them in their container. If you click you will be taken to notes and recipe.
I also put up two other lunches this week, one with fried rice and another with potato salad. I've also started saying how long they took me to prep in the morning. Just in case you were wondering.
I shall be away in London for a long weekend this weekend (leave Fri night return Tues evening), which means that I probably won't bake and I might not have any lunch pictures up (there's no point if they are exactly the same as previous days, unless to prove that I'm still packing.. hmm). However, I have begun working on some images of "How to eat Lum-yai" and "How to eat Mangkhut". So should have that to post next Thurs.
Stay cool after school!
Point of Fashion: still wintery
Current Obsession: Any biscotti left when I get home?
