So somehow this blog gained several hundred followers in the past few days for absolutely no reason that I can identify?!

Um, hi. Welcome to my lunch blog.

This is a busy week for me, though I was supposed to get up at 5:00 am this morning and then my first two gigs got canceled, so I got to sleep in and then didn’t have to leave for work until 1:00 pm, which was AMAZING. I was able to pick up a package at the post office, get some groceries, answer some email, and make breakfast! It’s finally non-sucky avocado season again, so my wife and I had guacamole (without our usual lime juice-marinated red onions, since we didn’t feel like waiting for 30 minutes) and olive-cheddar scrambled eggs in crispy tortillas. Then there was still time left over to make a bento (I work ‘til 8:00 pm tonight), so I threw in the rest of the eggs and guacamole, plus some salsa, spicy plantain chips, and a leftover sour cream buttermilk waffle from Saturday’s breakfast.

This week’s Bento Challenge theme is Guilty Pleasures, and while this box certainly isn’t the healthiest thing in the world, I’m not sure it qualifies. I almost bought a box of frozen White Castle cheeseburgers when I got groceries this morning, but I don’t know if I’m quite depraved enough for those greasy and glorious staples of my post-baccalaureate nadir. Hm. I’ll think about it. I’m working late all four nights this week, so I’m not sure I’ll have time to make any more bentos at all, but I’ll do my best.
