The Accidental Bento

Today's bento came about because I had a cooking accident. On Sunday, while making up my beloved beetroot salad, I tipped in way too many chilli flakes. I scraped off what I could, but the result was still super-fiery.

On Monday, I took it along to work in my bento as usual - my eyes watered and my tongue burned!!

On Tuesday, I took a smaller amount and stirred it into my rice - but at that rate there was no way I was going to use it all up by the end of the week.

For today's bento I hit upon the idea of stirring it through pasta with a bit of yoghurt to cool it down, and judging from my initial sample I *think* it worked. Fingers crossed, and if it has, I will make the same again for lunch on Saturday.

Also in today's bento are some carrot sticks, some broccoli florets, and an egg.
