Beef curry bento

Warm Indian curry packed in our thermal food jar. I actually made this curry during a night power outage this weekend by the light of a camping lantern! That was surprisingly fun.

Fusion fried rice x 3

Made weird but tasty fusion fried rice this morning with basmati rice, Korean chogochujang sauce, homemade smoked pork, peas, takuan, egg, green onions and sesame seeds. We all got that today, with the face on my son’s bento eliciting a happy, “Kitty!” from him. This is also the inaugural use of my son’s Thomas the Tank Engine 270ml bento box, which thrills him no end (”choo choo train!”).

Balti chicken lunch

Got a mean craving for Indian food after smelling some near a playground with my son, so I pulled out a Balti cookbook and made Balti chicken and fragrant basmati rice with spices. Lots of onions and tomatoes in the curry — really hit the spot.

Birthday cupcake

This is usually a bento blog, but I’m taking a quick break to post my son’s birthday cupcakes. This is my first venture into baking cupcakes — I usually cook, not bake. Anyway, I think they came out fine. They’re a spiced sour cream cupcake with pandan-flavored buttercream icing; blue to go with the Blues’ Clues theme.

Here’s the birthday boy looking apprehensive, but he was actually quite jazzed about the cupcakes.

More homemade barbeque today — this is what happens when I go buy my husband six different kinds of smoking wood!
