Again a poor quality picture because I composed this bento last night and the days are getting shorter already — way too fast for my liking! :(
The composition was a bit messy and the food combination ultra eclectic, so those things can’t be blamed on the photo ;)
Clicking on the picture will give you a different view.
Bowl on the left: Indian takeaway leftovers: malai kofta and dal in iceberg lettuce leaves, saag paneer in cucumber ‘containers’. Gap fillers & garnish: parsley, lettuce, red berries and mini Milka chocolate.
Other bowl: leftover piece of polenta ‘pizza’ (yum!), courgette & leek grilled with garlic, and a tasty tom tomato.
On the side: more red berries, fresh mint for tea & honey as sweetener.
I bet you wish you could have had my lunch, right?! ;)
Homegrown & organic: basil.
Local & organic: both varieties of lettuce, parsley, zucchini, leek, red berries.
Organic: polenta, pesto, basil stock (for cooking polenta), margarine, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber.
WW propoints? Not a clue ;)

Wow, Indian food! I love Indian food. But you won’t get my husband anywhere near an Indian restaurant. I have a friend who recently took pity on me (or wanted to have a nice meal out) and we went to an Indian restaurant in Utrecht last Friday. Very nice food. So I’m not as jealous as I otherwise might have been. PLUS I know how to make vegetarian samosas! ;-)

I have to laugh at how you name your bento. I often wanted to and probably have ben as blunt as you and just tell it like it is. Needless to say it still looks good! I would love to have your lunch!
I’m not looking forward to all the lunches that I make when it’s still dark out and there is no way to get a good photo!

Hi gals!
@leeswammes: Yes, Indian food! YUM. A great food style for vegetarians ;) I cannot understand that your husband would shun Indian restaurants :-o Lucky that you have friends to help you satisfy your cravings every once in a while! :) Which restaurant did you go to? This came from Namaskar, the best so far.
@Lyndsey: A grrl’s gotta be honest when she can! ;) It was a great lunch anyway. The darker evenings are upsetting me already, one of the reasons being my bento pics! :( I will need to build that long longed for lightbox, I guess ;)

Whoaa…that’s a great idea to link another picture into a picture. Love it…thanks for idea.

hahaha yes I do. My bento lunch never looks beautiful :( just rice and some Lauk-pauk (I have no idea what’s the English word for lauk-pauk) inside a transparant plastic.

I don’t know a thing about food – but your photos are awesome. They are works of art – almost a shame to eat the subjects!

That looks delicious! I don’t know what bento is, but I want some. Berries and rice and yum. Food shoudn’t just taste good, it should also look good.

Gorgeous photo enough to me! I was lured and came here. The cuke container is a smart and neat idea :)

Hi Novroz, sheri, Bumbles, mywordlyobsessions, Jenn & babykins! Sorry for the late reply but I haven’t been spending much time behind my Mac (as you may have gathered).
Thank you all for your kind comments! And mywordlyobsessions for tagging me with the 10 things that make me happy meme! I’m afraid I’m not much of an award grrl so I might skip on the obligation to post about it but I’m HONOURED anyway!
