obviously today is not 11.20. i'm playing catch up here. this was the last bento lunch i made before thanksgiving. it's a chicken salad melt with avocado slices and cheese. and lots of fresh fruit. yum.

on 11.21, i neglected to bring my lunch. but all was well, because i ended up going to eat at the japanese restaurant next door with my co-worker (whom i never see anymore--she was squatting at my office and they severed the cord and made her move into her own office). and it was good playing catch up with our lives.

the week of thanksgiving, i only worked on monday. i was up in north county making presentations at a bunch of training sites, so i couldn't bring lunch, as i didn't have fridge/microwave access. for lunch, i ate fish tacos at a mexican restaurant with the director of our nc programs who was also kindly chauffering me around.

the monday after thanksgiving, i overslept. i was pretty spoiled with a week of vacation that i didn't have time to figure something out. plus, we didn't celebrate thanksgiving at our house this year (it was at my aunt's house) and didn't bother to bring home leftovers, so there really wasn't anything in the fridge that i could toss in my box with minimal preparation. i did remember that i had a can of progresso italian meatball soup, so i packed up the last sourdough bread round from the kitchen table and ran off to work.

and that, my dears, is the reason for my lack of pictures and posts. hopefully that won't happen too often. i like bringing my lunch. it saves me time, money, and GAS! which even though prices have dropped to below $2/gal, is like freaking gold to me.
