Retro posted from 10/10/2009- Eggplant, Rice, and Potatoes

Looking at the title of this posting, you'd think that I was only packing beige or white colored foods. Not so!

Contents of Bento: Rice with 2 grapes cut in half. A reused applesauce cup with sort-of-Thai eggplant dish, potato and red cabbage hash around the eggplant. A side car of little koala choco-filled cookies.

The eggplant dish is one I make pretty often. It's mostly eggplant stirfry with lots of tamarind in it, so it's more southeast asian than anything else. Sometimes I put in Thai basil or what have you. It's pretty tasty, even to people who are not fans of eggplant. I think that's because it has a lot of flavor.
