Breaking News

I have finally broken free from school lunches! I am now officially a bento (packed lunch) girl. How did it feel the first time I took my homemade refried bean quesadilla cut into perfect little triangles? Everyone else was having curry. With naan bread. What the!!! God was laughing that day.

I have one confession to make. I take a bento to every school now except my base school. I didn't have the heart to cancel my lunch order there. The school nutritionist is super lovely and even made a New Zealand style Fish 'n' Chips lunch. She comes and shows me all her ideas for international style dishes. I just couldn't be that cruel. So on Friday I chugged back my veges in jellymeat and thought about how good heaven would be. It's only once a week right!
