Lunch Box 211: Pale food
Today's lunch features most of my "Benihana tribute" meal - rice, marinated stir-fried chicken, and zucchini & onion stir-fry - plus some "noodle eggs" left over from the recent chirashi-zushi. I ought to make more noodle eggs; they're fun to make and kinda cool.
I like having salad with the Benihana meal, but if I pack salad in the lunch box I can't microwave it. Unless I wrap it up in rice paper to make salad spring rolls! The little container contains ginger salad dressing for dipping, of course.

By the way, during Dragon*Con I found "Yami Yami," a great little sushi place in the Peachtree Center food court. It's the first place on the right as you cross from the hotel to the food court, right opposite the Dairy Queen. It's a buffet, you pick out the pieces of sushi you want and then pay by the weight. It's not cheapie stuff, either in price or quality. I had tuna, squid, octopus, and a few other things, and they were all tender and delicious. The edamame was also tasty and well seasoned. Every time I went by they were doing a brisk business, which means that the sushi went fast and had to be replaced constantly, so it was always fresh!
And because I know you have been aching to see it, here's a photo of me in my Dragon*Con costume, marching in Saturday's parade. I'm the one in the green shorts. You get five coolness points if you can identify the character I'm dressed as.
