"Thin Ton Katsu" bento - 薄とんかつ弁当

Today's o-bento:
 - Ton Katsu (Pried Pork Scaloppini)
 - Boiled Egg and Vegetabel
 - Rice with Sesame Seed (Hidden Nori sea weed paper is inside)

 We had deep fried pork last night for dinner and of course I made some for today too. Since they are deep  fried, I wanted to make the rest as healthy as I can, so I just boiled carrot, green beans and broccoli in salt water.

 もともと豚肉好きな私でしたが、アメリカに来てからなんとなくにおいが気になって、フライ以外では食べなくなりました・・・。たまたま見つけた、Pork Scaloppiniという、部位がよくわからないお肉なのですが、1パウンドあたり1ドル70セントくらいで、しかもアメリカの肉にしては薄切りで骨なしなので気に入っています。脂身も少なくてあっさりとしています。

"Pan-fried Salmon" bento - 焼き鮭弁当

Today's o-bento:
 - Pan-fried Salmon
 - Spinach & Bacon Saute
 - Rolled Egg


This is the first and last time to make o-bento for my husband and myself this week. We went to our favorite sushi restaurant last night (by driving 2.5 hours because of D.C.'s crazy traffic!) and we were saying we need more seafood. This salmon is my favorite one from Costco. They sell it without bones and skin so I love it. I just dashed some salt and pepper and fried on a pan with a little of olive oil. Very simple. On the other side of them I was also frying bacon and later added spinach, salt and pepper.
I am the only Asian at work and there, no one eat rice for lunch, no one use chopsticks, so I feel a little weird or embarrassing?  but who cares! At least my husband enjoys my Japanese style o-bento so it should be good.















今日は私もフルタイム勤務なのでお弁当を作りました。
夫はいつも「美味しかった」 と言ってくれますが、
夫のものと同じ内容で自分の分も作って実際に自分で食べてみると
省点や課題点がわかるのでお勉強になります。

"Sushi Roll" bento - 巻き寿司弁当

Today's o-bento:
 - Cucumber Rolls
 - Tuna Rolls
 - California Rolls (Immitation Crab and Avocado)
 - Boiled Carrotts

 This time I put wasabi inside of each roll. My husband love wasabi so much and can't taste it enough if I put it a little bit of it on top of each one like I used to. Good thing is I am getting used to making rolls and can do it faster than before!

 アメリカに来てから酢の消費が激しいです！

Today's o-bento:

 - Meat Loaf
 - Boiled Carrotts and Broccoli
 - Pan-fried Green Beans

 I made this meat loaf for dinner last night. I wasn't sure if we could eat it all and my husband said he can take it to work today, so I really didn't have to cook this morning! Thanks!

ミートローフの中には人参、インゲン、マッシュルームが入っています。薄味だったのでお好みソースをかけて食べました。

"Boiled Mayo Shrimp" bento - マヨゆで海老(いろいろ)弁当

Today's o-bento:

 - Green Onion Tamago Yaki and Steamed Broccoli (Rolled Egg)

 - Pan-fried Green Beans & Sausage

 - Boiled shrimp seasoned with Mayo & Sichimi pepper

 - Rice with Furikake

  My husband went to grocery shopping for me since I don’t have neither a car or time to walk there. I made most of the thing last night so that we can leave home at 5:50 in the morning! It was about to rain this morning at the bus stop so I stayed at a Sturbucks when they opened, which was 7:00am. Buying coffee makes me feel that I am wasting money, but today was a special day. I had a heavy backpack and wanted to go to the powder room. I had no idea how to turn on the light in there so I used my cell phone as a flash light instead of asking them. The sturbucks is in a basement  and it seemed like having a wet floor because of rain!

今日は学校の日で早起きをしたため、前日に作ったおかずです。

シーフード好きの夫の為に、海老は殻つきのまま塩湯でして、殻をむいてからマヨネーズ、塩少々、七味などと和えました。

ちなみに昨日のご飯なしお弁当は、ご飯がない代わりに鶏モモ1枚とハンバーグ3個とゆで卵を入れたのですが、量が多すぎたようで、「次からはハンバーグ2個で十分だよ。」と言われてしまいました・・・。

We ran out of rice!! My husband had never had fresh prunes and we bought some at Costco last week. They were a little sour but getting sweeter. I love them!


米、野菜をきらしてしまいました。今日私はやっと休みですが車が無いので買い物に行けれません・・・。アメリカで車のない生活はなかなか不便です。
