Back to work after the weekend. The office will be full of people again. Here's what my Mr. Bento will be full of on Monday, November 26, 2007:
* Breakfast of belgian waffle and strawberry preserves, with a sectioned orange.

The leftover waffle is from Sunday brunch at Bistro Belgique Gourmande with our youngest son. We sent him back to college Sunday night after his Thanksgiving weekend vacation. Next time he's home, we'll go back to the restaurant for the moules meunière and fries with mayonnaise.
