C-SPAN is Fascinating

I was watching C-SPAN the other day and saw this clip. Alec Baldwin really is passionate about public affairs.

Here is the second Mr. Bento photo I posted on flickr.com.

Gefilte fish + horseradish, diced mangoes, chicken broth with vegetables + pasta, sourdough bread + cheddar cheese, plus a chocolate-iced brownie. What a feast!

I have been home teleworking, while recovering from an illness. As a welcome-back-to-the-office present, I bought myself a Zojirushi Mr. Bento to pack my lunches

Apparently, folks who use Mr. Bento are wildly enthusiastic. Right now, a group of over 530 people have posted about 2,500 photos on flickr..com of lunches they've packed in their Mr. bento bento boxes. Here's the first Mr. Bento photo I posted.

Nice, simple lunch

I had a nice simple lunch today. My wife's cousin sent us a 5-pound bag of genmai, Japanese short-grain brown rice. I put a cup in my rice cooker this morning, set it for noon, and at 12 o'clock spooned it out into two bowls. My wife added a little milk to hers to loosen it up. I just diced up some smoked Nova Scotia style salmon and mixed it in. Nice, simple lunch.

Only 51 more servings left in the bag of genmai. Any suggestions?
