OBENTO, OBENTO

AND THIS IS HOW IT GOES…..
Last month, I was poor.
When one is poor, one buys big bag of cheap pasta on SALE.
One smiles at Father to buy nice turkey ham and honey-baked ham.
One also smiles at Father and promises to tidy up toilet, as one throws lemon, tomatoes, corn and fresh button mushrooms sneakily into NTUC basket.
Then,
One whips up large pot of olive-oil pasta to feed:
- Small, small army of not-so-hungry men, or
- Single hungry person for many many days
Following Option 2,
Bento is packed with shiny fork(-lette, since it is a tiny, young fork) and fruit.
Bento is brought to work for 4 consecutive lunches. (good Lord)
Bento looks like __(see above picture)__
One is very proud of oneself for saving $$ and cooking something I actually didn’t die upon.
THE END
