A case of the Mondays

Late lunch today, thanks to meetings. The story of my Mondays.

We're headed to the coast on Wednesday for our (somewhat new) tradition of Winter Vacation. I have been looking forward to this trip for months now, and in the last 6 weeks, the thought of it has gotten me through many a long, hard day. This will be the first year we're able to be there for New Years', and I'm so excited about that I can hardly stand it.

Anyway, I don't expect to be in the office tomorrow, so this will probably be my only bento this week.

clockwise from right:

• risotto made with chanterelle mushrooms and peas
• Daisy tangerine wedges and a bit of sour cream chocolate chip cake (a holiday treat in my family)
• BBQ meatballs -- my grandmother would make these on Christmas Eve

I have to do something about the way the lights in my office completely wash out the light-colored food items. I mean, it's really my phone that's the problem, obviously, but still.
