Eating healthy

You may wonder what eating healthy has to do with mikka-bozu... It is difficult to stick to it. For one thing, I am eating lunch outside home on week-days and don't want to carry a lunch box with me, for food safety reasons (it takes me about 1 1-2 hour door to door to go to the office). Also, I get bored when eating rice more than 2-3 times a week.

We used to get bento boxes delivered in the office, but after I realized that oily food was making me sick, I stopped using that service and their really oily foods (not to mention that I slowly got bored of their rice).

These days, I buy a sandwich and eat that for lunch.

Yesterday, we went to Tokyo's Kanda and ate very healthy vegetarian food (mainly potatoes, burdock, carrots cooked in different ways. Very healthy, but no protein---I was again hungry soon afterwards.

Today, we were wondering and pondering about lunch and decided to go back to the nearby healthy buffet restaurant. They have a special deal with an empty lunchbox that you fill in once only (as opposed to several times with a standard buffet set.

My dish was in fact vegetarian (salad and veggies only). But both DH and I prefer that restaurant to yesterday's. Sometimes, too healthy is just too healthy...

Here is a picture of today's lunch box:




Oh, I did find a picture of what we had at the Kanda restaurant. It was taken in Spring, but content is very similar.
