Dad Food

Long time no blog!  I've been in Tulsa without a kitchen so I haven't been able to cook anything outside of a microwave.  This is the second day I've made lunch for a parent... yesterday I made inarizushi, cold soba noodles, and a green salad for my mom and dad.  Nothing spectacular or worth blogging about, just a random assortment of things i found in the pantry/fridge.  Today's lunch is just for my dad, since my mom told me she had tuna salad to eat.  This is what I made:
Carrots and homegrown green beans sauteed in ponzu, sesame oil, and a splash of rice vinegar. 
 My dad told me he loves raw tofu with just ponzu sauce, so i made that and added some sesame seeds for garnish.
 this bottle was full when i left for Tulsa.. I guess people have been using it!!
 Bento was looking a little plain so I decorated with some leftover cupcake picks from a Peter Rabbit cupcake decorating kit.  In the top right corner is a couple slices of my dad's favorite bread.
 This is my dad's favorite bread.  It is from Kroger.
...And I made a special treat for me to enjoy while I do the dishes ;)
it's salted caramel flavored whiskey from a distillery in Gatlinburg, TN, mixed with plain almond milk.  It kind of tastes like a white russian but with caramel instead of coffee flavor.

Not sure what I'm going to be making tomorrow yet, but I'll have more time and i'll be cooking for both of my parents again, so I'll try to include something recipe-worthy.
