A Update Post

Ok... so maybe I wasn't as go-get-'em as I could be with my blog. But I promise a lot has happened since I quit posting. Lots of stressful and exciting things.
First, I quit grad-school. I'm pretty sure I wasn't meant to be a graduate student. It was just too stressful. The fact that I stopped going to school meant I didn't need a lunch packed every day. Ooops.
Next, and this is the exciting one, I am engaged! Not only that but I'm only 50 days from the wedding day.(yes, I have a count down going. I started it the day after I got engaged.)
So, neck deep in wedding planning and without a daily job in which I need to pack a lunch, I stopped blogging shortly after I started. But I am determined to continue on. Just indulge me when I stop talking of food and post something about the wedding. :))

So here are a few pictures of such that happened while I was out. Not exactly exciting. I had some nicer lunches, but I forgot to take pictures.

 I tried to make egg-flowers with these little peppers I found. It worked all right, but I wasn't completely satified with the results. The pepper, egg, sugar snap pea flowers are served on top of herbed-buttered rice.

 Here is another shot of the same lunch. Grapes, pepper strips, a strawberry or two, with grilled chicken and snap peas.

Some of the boxes and snack containers I found. I bought them for me, but I reserve the right to claim that I bought them for my niece. :)  I used the Ariel box in the previous lunch.

I have to say, I packed this lunch for J. and he asked for almost everything in it (except the cutie orange) and I was like "Wow!" I would hate to eat this lunch. There are no colors  (i.e. no veggies...). Everything was pretty bland looking. There is apple sauce with cinnamon, a cutie orange, a butchered hard-boiled egg, some mozzarella bites, and a sandwich. I added this picture as proof that a well balanced, colorful lunch can be half the eating equation in pleasing your appetite.

Take care! I'll try and update everything and find some new posts.
