Rendezvous rib bento

Rendezvous rib lunch お弁当

Yesterday my husband made pork babyback ribs in the style of Memphis’ Rendezvous restaurant — very nostalgic for him. Not a fancy bento today, but maximum flavor and happiness. Also: barbequed beans with extra bacon, onions, molasses, etc. and a sauce pig of chipotle barbeque sauce that probably won’t get opened (he loves these dry ribs!). Not shown: a slice of plain white bread under the ribs, two oshibori packed outside the box for clean-up, and a lid to the bean container. Packed in my deep Chinese box to fit the ribs.

1, 2, 3 sandwich bentos!

Buttermilk sandwich bread is the carb of the day, with sandwiches for kids and grown-ups.

Sandwich lunches: mother and son versions

My son has rolled-up sandwiches — these are like wraps, using pressed bread in place of tortillas or lavash, then wrapped in plastic wrap (twisted at the ends) to keep everything together and fresh. One is ham, and is decorated with number cutouts of ham. The other is peanut butter, and has banana number cutouts on a base of Nutella. He’s also got fresh pineapple (cut small), blueberries and a cheese wedge.

I have curried egg salad sandwich on toasted bread, with kiwi and blueberries in my new Afternoon Tea bento box.

Egg Salad Sandwich Laptop Lunch

My husband is using the Laptop Lunchbox today, with an egg salad sandwich and a piece of lasagna with extra sauce. The pineapple was really juicy, so I covered its container (and the sandwich container) with Glad Press & Seal wrap to keep everything really separate.

Dashimaki tamago x 3 bentos

The shrimp dictated how the bento got packed — they were too long to go in vertically, so…

Fried shrimp nori lunch お弁当

Today my husband gets fried shrimp with tonkatsu sauce, dashimaki tamago (tamagoyaki with lots of dashi: full tutorial here), Korean sauteed garlic stalks and red bell pepper, mango, cherry tomatoes, and jasmine tea-flavored rice with nori furikake and a sheet of Korean toasted/flavored nori. X-posted to my blog and Flikr.
