Yes, I know. That looks like a random pile of leftovers. And that’s what it is really, except these are REALLY GOOD leftovers from a nice dinner out with my parents at a good Greek restaurant. We’ve got a little bit of Kotopita there (that’s what I had) and a bunch of lamb shank (that’s what Mom had) and a couple tiny bites of sea bass (that’s what Dad had). Also some pasta and roasted veggies that were on the side.
on the menu:
- Kotopita (chicken, spinach, feta, phyllo yumminess)
- Sea Bass
- Lamb Shank
- Pasta
- Roasted Veggies
- 100 calorie Milanos
- Cheese, tomatoes, pretzel mix (for afternoon snack)
Also you can see I tried to make a little lunch bag. It’s awesome because I made it. It’s also not awesome because *I* made it. I am not a great seamstress. 
I didn’t have a pattern, didn’t even measure, just kind of winged it. All the tutorials I found were for regular brown bags or normal 2 tier bento boxes, and I wanted one for the cheapo boxes I get at IKEA. Learned a few things. The next one will be better. When I get it all perfected I’ll post a tutorial.

Nice lunch bag. Nice lunch, too, for that matter. LOL. I found 3 more napkins…they were wrapped around a nice wine glass, protecting it from bumps and bruises.

Looks good to me only i don’t know what any of it is. Have never eaten at a Greek place. Your lunch bag looks so pretty – different than my paper bags way back in my youth so many years ago. read my email about the goodies you sent. Luv U!
