Jack wasn't at training last night, but he wanted us to work on punching, so we ended up doing every single boxing punch/attack in existence, and in various combinations. Much to my surprise, I really enjoyed it, and was shocked to see that everything I learnt while kickboxing in Japan was still very fresh. My cross still packs a very mean punch, and the only thing I need to work on is elbowing (which I'd never learnt before). All that punching for the first hour kept my adrenaline up and the endorphins really boosted my mood so I didn't really mind how hard my partner was punching (he tried not to, but he wasn't very good at it). The last twenty minutes or so, we did a few moves using those boxing punches, all of which involved ducking and a bit of weaving, bujinkan style. It was all a lot of fun, and I'm pleased that other than a few sore back muscles, I barely felt any of it. That shows I was using good form.
New bento for this evening's History of India class. It took a lot less time to make, but one of my ideas fell flat when some mushrooms I froze, spoiled. I was going to use them with the small teriyaki buffalo burger (made when I made bigger burgers on Sunday) as vegetarian buns, but oh well. The rice is chinese stir fried rice, vegetarian style. It's tasty but doesn't provide as much colour contrast methinks. Anything yellow is cheese, orange is carrot, and the white garnish is radish. The sticks in the centre are apple, and on the side are edamame (yum). Desert is the white thing next to the hamburger - it's actually a mini vanilla cupcake (made on friday and frozen). On top of the buffalo burger is okonomiyaki sauce. I'm unsure how the burger is going to taste cold, so we shall see.
