Friday Bento

We went out for our biweekly dinner with Winnie and Jerry and had the fabulous spanakotiropizza at Symposium along with their peasant salad, some dolmas, and an eggplant dip and zatsiki.


Since we had some leftovers, I just made small bentos for us to take to work. Plus I admit I was wracking my brain for fillers. I ended up putting some gio and sugar snap peas in for both of us. Nick got some cold roasted purple potatoes and pistachios, while I got cheese-its and a babybel cheese.

In the top part, where the chopsticks usually go, I put a thin flat cookie that I found at Nijiya Market on Sawtelle. I have no idea what couque d'asses is, but they're pretty yummy. I've made a rule for myself, that whenever I find a treat at a Japanese market, I have to buy two packages because who knows when I will see it again. I hope I find these again after I run out because they are addictive. They're way better than the similar Milano cookies from Pepperidge Farms, at least taste-wise. Since I can't read the language on the box I'll just let myself think they are healthier, too.
