Bento: Pumpernickel Sandwich (285)

Today’s lunch is not terribly visually exciting.  In fact, it is down right boring.  But that’s okay.  Because it is lunch!  It is my lunch!  And it means I’m ready to eat lunch and not have to go out in the pouring rain to find lunch.  Which is what I did yesterday.  And while yesterday’s lunch was at a new cafe in my area that was ABSOLUTELY FABU, I could have done without the riding around in the cold, wet rain.  That is what comes from lack of planning.

I also like this lunch for it’s pumpernickel bread used in the sandwich.  Pumpernickel is a new item on my food list as of the last year.  It is something I had never tried before but always said I didn’t like.  Some of this came from listening to others in my family say how they don’t like this particular type of bread.  Okay, then I must not like it too.  Yeah, I know, typical me.  Once while considering bread options at the grocery store, I looked at some pumpernickel and thought, “Why don’t I like this type of bread?”  I’ve never really tried it until now.  It looks alot like the dark rye bread I like at a local restaurant.  Hmm….let’s give it a shot.  The rest, as is my own personal food history.  Pumpernickel is now on my list of fave breads.  When I was at Albertson’s this last week, they had store baked bread loaves buy 1, get 1 free.  There was a lovely 7 grain bread (which I really need to photograph) and this pumpernickel bread.  They both came home with me. 

I hope you have a lovely lunch packed too.  Be the bento everyone!

P.S. Check back around lunch time.  I have a NTM post this week.
