Today's lunch

[pegkerr]

Red cabbage slaw (mixed with chopped cranberries and tossed with a combination of orange juice, rice vinegar and sugar); quinoa timbales [quinoa and cornmeal cooked in water/orange juice mixture with a little chopped onion--shhhh, don't tell Delia--until liquid is absorbed, add orange zest, cinnamon, cumin, and chopped organic dried apricots; press into a container/mold sprayed with cooking spray (I used one of the small containers from my laptop lunchbox), and pop out of the mold immediately]; endamame and baby carrots; and one of my favorite lunchbox desserts: a mixture of cottage cheese and apple butter.

Thank you! I will look into getting a copy of that book ASAP. According to bordersstores.com, the new edition was scheduled for March 2008, so I should be able to special order it. (My retail job is in a Waldenbooks.)

I will definitely try the timbales--they look wonderful.

Her blog mentioned that her publisher decided to delay publication until summer, reasoning that they want to take advantage of the back-to-school shopping excitement/season. So I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer. It's definitely worth it, though. Till then, you'll have the websites to tide you over.

Also, the Laptop Lunchbox itself comes with a recipe book, too, which will give you more ideas.
