Not really in need of fruits and vegetables, just walking around.
Guava
From the vendor we usually buy bananas and papayas from.
Guava
Simple, cut in half, spoon out contents.
Fried Pork Skin
A treat for The Mouse. Nom nom. 🙂
Better than potato chips!
Enjoy. Eat well.

The Mouse trying to add variety to The Cat’s bento.
Belly Pork
Poached the pork in water, whiskey, and apple cider vinegar.
Brussels Sprouts
.
Package of Yellow Rice and Pasta
Prepared the rice according to package instructions.
Yellow Rice
It’s okay to eat yellow rice, jus’ don’t eat yellow snow. Hee hee.
The Mouse did a quick sauté using the pork and a can of shredded bamboo shoot.
Pork with Shredded Bamboo Shoot
Didn’t get a sear on the pork. The Mouse didn’t want to haul out the big fry pan, used the non-stick mini pan instead, can’t crank the heat up on those pans. Still taste okay, just no color.
Toaster oven roasted the Brussels sprouts per The Barefoot Contessa’s instructions.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Does not include candied pecans like Herringbone, but The Mouse thinks tasty on its own. 🙂
And voila! packed everything into The Cat’s bento for Monday.
The Cat’s Bento
Enjoy. Eat well.

A trip to The Mouse’s favorite bakery/breadshop. JJ2.
Square Bread
Got to the bakery a little late. Only a few packages left. The Mouse only needs one. 🙂
Pastry with Dried Pork Shavings
Saved for later. Maybe toaster oven on the weekend with a nice cup of tea. Hee hee.
The Mouse needed a little green for The Cat’s bento.
White Stem Cabbage
Cleaned, boiled, olive oil and salt.
Assembling The Cat’s bento.

Short post today.
Picked up from the grocery store on the way home.
Chasiu Bowl
It’s not charsiu, nor Chinese roast pork, nor hong shao rou. But it was warm and at a reduced price. Quick and cheap, served the purpose. Not bad, coulda used a little more gravy/sauce. Hee hee.
Enjoy. Eat well.
