Catfish curry bentos x 3
Today I used up all of last night’s homemade curry in three bentos: for my son, myself and my husband. So of course my husband forgot to bring his lunch to work with him today, and I wound up going out to eat with a group after Japanese playgroup, but at least my son ate his at the restaurant! Here’s the one that got eaten today:

- Rice balls made of rice mixed with Thai yellow curry (with chopped-up catfish, red bell peppers, zucchini, carrots and onions)
- grapes, tomatoes, and grilled asparagus tips
- Irish cheese cut into butterflies
- roast chicken
My lunch adds grilled salmon:

My husband has just curry and rice in a small thermal lunch jar:
