Lasang Pinoy, Sundays Week#13: Baon/To Go Food
Do you still remember your own baon/snack or lunch when you were still in school? I do…I remember I always had cold corned beef with mayonnaise sandwich. Don’t get me wrong though, I like it except for the onions sticking out of the bread! Yucks! That is why, until now, I hate onions! That was my grade school years…during high school though, I remember we used chits in buying our food from the cafeteria/lunch room. We were never given any money, we use these laminated paper that is color-coded with a matching amount of money in buying.
How do you prepare your own office lunch or your husbands baon? What is inside his bento box? I have a secret to share…I don’t prepare my husband’s lunch…he does! You know why? He makes it so good that I have my own share for lunch here in the house in solitude:(…Do you want to know how he does it? Simple and inexpensive…just look at the photo below.
Almost everyday, it has become a ritual to us that I prepare dinner on week days[the kitchen is all his on weekends:) unless otherwise specified], after which, he does his own magic in the kitchen while I do the dishes. I normally make rice more than we can finish at night and even the main dish. Whatever it is, he mysteriously turns our left-over into something good, really good. Half of it for his own lunch tucked in this nifty Corningware baunan and the other half for my own to be consumed also for lunch the next day. It saves us both time, money and energy!
He simply makes this sinangag/fried rice with the left-over rice and whatever is left from the dish I cooked, add some sliced ham, bacon, hotdog, corn kernels, egg what-have-you! and sprinkle Knorr or Maggi seasoning or whatever spiCes you can think of and voila! Instant lunch to go or to stay!:) Truly delicioso!
What about your favorite lunch box? Mine was the tin can type with a Bambi character during my grade school years! hahaha! Omygosh! that was a long time ago. So 70’s! Nowadays, it’s all about Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers for my girl and Indiana Jones, Batman and Spongebob Squarepants for the little boy and for them it’s not about Adobo or Sinangag…it’s Macaroni and Cheese, Pizza, Chicken Nuggets, Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Cheeseburgers and French Fries.
For Lasang Pinoy, Sundays…our theme for this week is, BAON/TO GO. Lasang Pinoy has done this theme, sort of with Ajay’s Bento, but I thought it would be good to have another round especially for new members who weren’t able to play that time and since school opened this week here, it was all I can think of, really!:)
Please link back here and sprinkle some spiCe! Add to that, you might have theme ideas that you want us to do for the coming weeks, do let us know!

My husband also makes the most of left overs by turning them into a delicious meal.
I also remember that we used chits back in grade school instead of real money. I also had a tin lunch box once but I just couldn’t remember the design. It’s so nice to stop and reminisce.
My son’s class lasts for three hours a day. He’s so picky when it comes to food. He likes cheese sandwich, peanut butter sandwich, chocolate chip cookies, plain crackers and sometimes I give him occasional chips.

I know what you mean Ces.. there are a lot of new stuff out there that make kids want to buy a new lunch box every school year!

That’s how my lunch is, most of the time. It’s whatever’s left from dinner
I’m late, so I’m playing catch up this week. Will post this week’s COLORFUL next.
