ECO Lunchbox Three-in-One #28

Creative scrounging is getting...more creative. And scroungier.

Quick-pickled cucumbers (they soaked in a salt/sugar/vinegar solution overnight, which really did nice things for them), a blood orange slice, some sour cream, apple slices, and a totally new-to-me recipe from Going Solo in the Kitchen for potato pancakes.

What was really different about these potato pancakes is that they have cornmeal in them. But they were pretty easy, and very tasty, and could easily accommodate variations, so I'm going to hold onto this recipe! But it did feel like I was scrounging a little, anyway, to be dumping cornmeal into leftover mashed potatoes.
