I don’t know how I used to make Bentos in the past for the boys. Simple one like this takes a long time! (⊙_⊙). Nevertheless it’s a joy to make!

A weekly ritual.
A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week.
A simple, special, extraordinary moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and remember – {this moment}
My sister took her girls, Ah Lo and his cousin to a Warriors game vs. Minnesota Timberwolves at the new arena. Though it was on a weeknight and both boys have basketball practices, but we just couldn’t pass on this opportunity! We had to arrange for it to happen. The last time we took the boys to the game (not at this arena), we had the nosebleed seats. They were much younger then and weren’t that much into basketball. Tthe boys had a blast and I’m sure they won’t forget this memorable experience!
Thanks again Auntie 2!
Today I made some spinach fried rice for my mom. With the leftovers, I decided to fix Ah Lo’s lunch. Since he bikes to school and stuff his lunch box in his school bag, I doubt he will see what I see when he opens his lunch. Oh well, here’s what he should see…
Squid Game is a popular fictional thriller from South Korea which became a global megahit. Everyone is talking about this drama. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart. Mr. Piggy and I just finished watching it (without Ah Lo, too violent for him!) It didn’t take long for us to get hooked on this series.
Well, if you have seen it, you’ll know what this bento is about. I had fun making it!
BBQ chicken with Chinese okra and a side of quinoa and corn for our meal today. Of course Ah Lo doesn’t like 2 out of 3 items, but oh wells. He’s too lazy to cook and too hungry to be picky. Did I mention the trick is to put everything on the plate? I’ve trained him well such that he (and Dai Bee) will finish everything on his plate.
It’s been a while since I made bentos, especially for Ah Lo (who’s now in high school)! This is one of the simplest bento one can make, yet I found myself struggling. Believe me this is not the first try. (╯︵╰,)
I felt like I lost my mojo after putting it aside for so many years. Well, at least he’s not resisting it which means I can continue to do it when I have time after dinner. For now, this will have to do.
Grateful that Ah Lo can go back in person school this term. Even more grateful school is nearby so he can bike to school. Today is first day of school without his older brother by his side. I missed those days when I held his tiny hands and we would walk to school together.
Two games today in East Bay, only to be watching Ah Lo playing half-arsed. Drove across the bridge, sit through hours but disappointing to watch games when he wasn’t giving his 100%. ( ◡‿◡ *)
Now that most of the businesses are re-opening, we’re back to the busy weekends. Today, Ah Lo is playing 4 games, 2 from his AAU league and 2 from his school’s summer league. Traveling from northeast to southeast, our driver (Mr. Piggy) worked just as hard as Ah Lo. Though he has a lot of work on, it’s a delight to watch him improve along the way.
