Dinner
Jac used up the last of the strasburg sausage, chicken, corn and green beans and cooked up a batch of fried rice. She flavoured it with Maggi Original Seasoning. (On the Nestle Australia Maggi Asian Sauces page, they refer to it as Maggi Liquid Seasoning – in the picture of sauce bottles, it’s second from the right. It’s available at Woolworth’s and I presume Coles too) We ate the fried rice for dinner. It was delicious!
Bento
I packed us bento lunches the next day with fried rice, orange wedges and strawberries.
In Jac’s lunchbox, I included something extra – dried apricots. She loves them, I don’t like them. :)
And of course, I also doodled her a bento note:*
*Note: this post is very late! My bento note referred to this shared bacon and egg burger, posted a few weeks ago.

I have decided to attempt fried rice!Should I rinse the raw rice before I cook it?I know to much starch can make the fried rice gummy.The one time I attempted it,it was really gummy.I thought maybe if the rice had been rinsed it would have been better.Wish me luck
As always, your bento lunches have such eye appeal; who could resist? :-) Love your hand-drawn notes.
to kathy:
hey, in singapore here we use day-old rice so its not so wet. so usually we cook extra for a meal and use the leftovers for fried rice the next day.
Your bento boxes are seriously SOOO cute and I love the notes u leave for Jac :) so sweet!
thank you,hy.will try this weekend!
