Mr. Chen's Challenge

For Bento Society members:

I have mentioned this idea to some members but wanted to blog about this: the idea of having you submit your favorite dishes from Mr. Chen's for me to make a version of for a future bento lunch. I realized that I haven't included a Chinese item in your bento lunches yet and this would be one way for me to do that.

One word of caution, though: I've heard that stir-fried rice noodles do not necessarily hold up well in bento - they tend to dry out. I am up for trying any stir-fried dishes served with rice, though!

Let me know what you would like me to make, whether in person or by leaving a comment on this blog or a note in my mailbox at school.

No Aidan Bento for Week of March 16 - 20, 2009

Notice to Bento Society members:

Next week, Aidan Bento Society will be taking a week off. I will post the menu for the following week next Wednesday, March 18th.

I will also post a sign on the shelf in the upstairs kitchen (behind the table) to make sure that everyone receives notice of this.

In the meantime, I invite you to think about my idea for a Mr. Chen's Challenge!

Thank you for your participation in the society so far! I hope that you have been enjoying your meals.
