Not the most colorful lunch, but...

But it was all leftovers. But it really could have used some green somewhere.

You are looking at brown rice, cornbread that Jeff made with Laughing Cow cheese, steamed wax beans with some butter and my ubiquitous shallot-pepper seasoning, and Asian faux-chicken salad, minus the faux-chicken.

I cooked the rice in my new rice cooker that my mom and stepfather got me. It's the Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 5-1/2-Cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker - and Zojirushi makes Mr. Bento, too. :) It got brown rice right on the first try, so I'm impressed. Takes a little longer than my older Zojirushi rice cooker, but it seems to be worth it. Lee Ann and Bryan have one, too.

I dumped the wax beans on top of the rice for a dull look, but good flavor. I still have a few left, so I think tomorrow I'll steam some sugar snap peas, too, for a little more color.

But not too bad for leftovers. :)
