In Jac’s bento box last Thursday – on the left: leftover sausages from our bangers and mash dinner, onion and mushroom gravy, peas with carrots and sweet potato, baby roma tomatoes; on the right: “four seed ploughman” bread from Woolworths supermarket, spread with margarine, a little salad (English spinach, mushrooms, red capsicum), prunes and a piece of fruit cake (wrapped in greaseproof paper).

I packed myself the same lunch.

I always food-wrap the “wetter” and potentially messy items to avoid spillage issues.

The bento note I wrote for Jac was inspired by a conversation we had the previous night. I think I actually did say to her the words, “You annoy me sometimes, but I love you”. :)
