What do you do with leftover PulledPork?!

Make a pulled pork sandwich of course!!!

I simply created my own sauce using some of the leftover sauce from ribfest and adding my own ingredients, and then heated it up, then threw in the pulled pork to heat it up, and then served it on some fresh buns topped with homemade pickled onions and with a side of local steamed asparagus.

It turned out pretty good!

Until next time, Happy Munching!

Cool as a Cucumber

Today I used a bento with fixed dividers. I mainly chose this box because it had a big enough space to hold my sandwich, and a solid divider that would allow "wet" food not to spill or spread onto other foods. Inside as a cucumber sandwich, a mandarin, a few pieces of beef pepperoni and swiss cheese, an individually wrapped mochi and on the other side is glazed carrots and pistachios. You may also notice I included a cute little pick shaped like a panda bear (this was given to me as a gift for my birthday, its part of a set of adorable animal picks).

Though cute, the downside of this box is that the lid does not have a very tight seal. Consequently, I had to be very careful to carry it upright or else risk the glaze from the carrots leaking all over the other foods, and possibly all over the bag. I just avoided putting the bento in my bag and carried it in the bento bag, it worked out just fine. :)

And here's the cute little bag that I packed it up in!  Well that's all for today, until next time, happy munching!

Pokeball Bento

This is the bento I packed for my fiance for his work today.

As you can see, today's bento theme is pokemon! When I saw this awesome bento box that looked like a pokeball, I could not resist. It was so unique :). Unfortunately, it isn't very large, and it's shape isn't ideal to packing much inside it, so I paired it with a matching additional container. I also added a halloween themed ziplock.

As for lunch contents, I have packed here a rosemary ham sandwich, some hummus (with a paprika in the shape of a bunny (I know it isn't perfect but it was my first try!)), and in the ziplock are some mini pita crackers. Inside the bottom of the pokeball are some carrots, and almonds as well as a mini kit-kat bar, and a green apple jelly. I am sure this will be filling and help him have lots of energy throughout his work day! Well, that's all for today, until next time, happy munching!
