I'm not sure that today's lunch can qualify as bento - I grabbed a half-eaten container of tomato soup from the fridge, a few slices of dense rye bread, and a couple of Laughing Cow cheese wedges, stuffed them in my backpack, and called it good. Bento or not, it's perfect for the weather today. Apparently the weather gods decided we didn't get enough moisture this year and they're trying to drown us. They're not trying to do it quickly, mind you... it's just inches of rain accumulating over a course of several days. In 40 degree weather. WTF.
Back to the food - Rubschlager rye (either the square stuff or the Ryeola) is amazing. It's thick, hearty, and delicious. I will admit that it doesn't make the best reuben sandwiches, but it's perfect in almost every other conceivable way. If only I could master baking bread like that...
Supper last night wasn't pork chops like I had planned - Karen's dad was in town, so we went to the Firehouse for foodage to hang out with Bill, Karen and two of her kids. Besides, I was so hungry after swimming, I was completely indifferent to the source of our supper - I just wanted food. I "settled" for the buffalo bleu cheese burger and cottage cheese. Mmmm.
Today, I found a recipe on Bon Appetit that looks delicious, and I've decided will work equally well with pork chops: Caraway Chicken Breasts with Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage. Besides, it's cold enough that red cabbage won't seem out of place! We'll see if I make it to the store tonight after swimming...
