Bento 06.25.09

Two of the members of our game night are squeaking by since being laid off or retiring from Navy and neither of them are currently employed. Tiste and I decided that we would feed all our gamers (7 people) even though money is tight for us. A free meal helps here and there but more than that -- being able to share a meal 'out' helps moral.

So... Last night I cooked a spaghetti and meatball dinner. It turned out I only had to cook for 5 so I was able to freeze two portions for us for later so that worked out pretty well. There was also enough sauce and meatballs leftover for me to throw some in a bento for today.

Lisa brought over garlic bread and the two guys contributed a bag of ice and some coffee to the evening.

I would have loved to do something exciting like a nice cut of beef or something healthier with chicken... but, this was the most affordable way this week. Next time, I think I'll do rice, chicken and roasted broccoli/cauliflower.
