Food for a Co-worker

One of my co-workers was sick this week, so I decided to bring her some food. My mother always thought illness could be cured with something good to eat; I guess I picked up that habit.

My friend is a vegetarian but every blue moon eats a wee bit of fish, so I let her know beforehand that the miso soup was flavored with a small amount of bonito stock.

Tofu stirfry with cabbage, carrots, and snowpeas. Rice with black sesame seeds and an umeboshi. The smaller red container is mine and holds basically the same meal, sans umeboshi. The tall container in the back has miso soup for another colleague who had asked if I could make her some (she baked me some banana nut bread in return). The smaller thermos has miso soup that my friend could eat with her meal. And the container on its side is filled with Korean sesame and garlic spinach, which is her favorite.
