Faux roast beef sandwich!
I'm not a huge fan of fake lunchmeats, but I ran to the store last night (and I usually don't shop mid-week), and out of habit, I checked the veggie offerings. Lo and behold, I discovered that Yves has several new offerings (too new to be on their website, apparently), two of which I bought: faux roast beef and faux ground turkey.
(Pardon the photo. I had to use the crappy camera.)

Yumminess in my cute little green box today: a sandwich with the faux roast beef with super-juicy tomatoes (in a baggie until just before I took the photo), lettuce and dijon mustard; apple slices with no-cal marshmallow dip (it was OK; nowhere as good as the chocolate); sliced orange pepper; and the last of the steamed wax beans and sugar snaps with a baby container of balsamic vinegar for drizzling.
Verdict on the faux roast beef? Actually, it was kind of hard to tell. The tomatoes were so good and the mustard so flavorful that I could barely taste it. But what I could taste was good. I'll try it again on something where it won't be overwhelmed.
Tomorrow, we're having a Wellness Brown Bag Seminar at work on "How Your Diet Can Kill You" (I pictured the VLA coming after me, of course). So, of course, my lunch has to be pretty healthy, don't you think? But I don't know what to make. Hm. Guess I know what I'll be doing tonight!

Sounds like the perfect day to bring Ho-Hos and Ding-Dongs to work ;0)
Well, I am on the Wellness Committee, so I kinda have to be good...
Sigh.
But I am bringing steamed buns (the food, not the creature :) from the Asian market for our healthy breakfast potluck. They're mostly healthy. And since my coworkers are rather boring eaters, will it be my fault if there are extras and I have to eat them myself? I don't think so. I'm just not letting them go to waste. :)
Have you and Mr. Bento been getting along?
STEAMED BUNS - that sounds wrong!
