The note I drew/wrote for Jac’s bento last Wednesday said it all…

I didn’t need lunch, as we were going out to lunch to farewell our workmate L, who is moving on to a new job. For Jac, I packed sliced chicken sausage, salad (mixed greens, our homegrown cherry tomatoes, blanched snow peas and green beans), bread and butter, a pack of mini sesame snaps and Babybel cream cheese. In the “tasty” container is smokey barbecue sauce to go with the sausages. The bread is “Four Seed Loaf” from Woolworths, made with linseed, kibbled soybeans, canola, and kibbled wheat. I find this bread too seedy and grainy, and too savoury in flavour to eat with my favourite sweet spreads like strawberry jam, or kaya, but Jac loves this bread – we buy it for her, rather than for “us”. We often buy separate bread products for her and for me – I like multigrain bread, plain bagels, fruit loaf; she likes four seed loaf and many other large heavy-duty seedy, grainy breads which I find too bitsy and savoury. :) Are there particular foods that you buy when you go grocery shopping, but only you eat, or only your partner eats?
