When
I write up these lunches I always notice things that
didn't occur to me when I packed them. With this lunch,
it's the assortment of colors and shapes that reminds
me of an "educational toy" - you know,
the ones that parents buy so they can teach their prodigies
what pink circles and blue squares are. Well, with this
lunch you get an assortment of brown triangles and a
pentagon (crab rangoons),
some purple half-oval baked
purple sweet potato, a yellow oblong (baby
banana), and, hiding half out of sight, a circular tan
takoyaki and a pink, semicircular
sakura mochi (mochiko
version). Oh, and there's the green steamed
broccoli, which has no nameable shape, but that's
to teach the kid that not everything fits into nice
neat categories, which is an important life lesson
right there.
Wanna talk
about it?
