# I've spent the last hour making my lunch for tomorrow.
Only to realise it looks remarkably like the German flag, only the wrong way up.

I thought i'd share it with you, as it was a little bit of an experiment in cooking:


Apologies for the poor picture. Until I can afford a digital camera, I am relegated to using a crappy camera phone.

A bed of rice with separate portions of egg, fish, and chicken.

# I thought i'd try making
a kids meal before I try to find somewhere that sells really fresh fish and attempt sashimi sushi bento.

It's something to do, and I rather like Japanese and Chinese cooking.

(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Sun 18 Jan 2004, 22:12, archived)
# The toppings taste alright, if
a little too flavoursome, since they are supposed to be eaten with the rice, and I was testing at the time. I'll let everyone know tomorrow if it was a success or not.

Who knows, if it is, I may attempt a union jack bento, and work my way through the EU...

All i'd have to do is print out a template, then either cut it out of a nori sheet, or use hijiki seaweed for it. The first would be easier, the second would tastebetter.
