Return to Bento… and a Giveaway!!!

Oh my goodness, what’s this?…Yes, I’ve been woefully neglectful of my bento duties.  I pack lunch for school, but mostly just take something quick (a sandwich, cut up fruit), and rarely take pictures.  The above is one from May that I took a picture but never posted… hummus, baby carrots, turkey and mustard on whole grain, with clementine sections to help prevent the sandwich from moving around, all packed in a Ziploc container I bought for $3.49/2.  The box is a little big for regular meals, but with sandwiches or salads, it’s perfectly fine.  (The big compartment is 650ml, then [...]

Does this make my lunch look phat? deadline extension

A few months ago, I announced my first ever contest, “Does this make my lunch phat?”  Unfortunately, the holidays caught hold of me and not that many people entered (boo…), so I’m extending the deadline (and finally announcing the extension!) to… February 29th.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, the new year will bring exciting news and an exciting plan (the 2nd solely regarding cooking!), so I expect that I’ll need some time to get back into the swing of things and get everything together.  Also, I like the idea of making the deadline a day that only comes [...]

Announcing…. The Feisty Bento: ALL MY BENTO ARE BELONG TO ME.  (Yes, not just a nod but a huge sign stating just how dorky I [...]

Bento… Again

As promised… more bento!!!  This is basically every bento I’ve made to date, so there are some in there already posted on this site.  I’m having a LOT of fun, even on days when I’m just like… bento… I don’t want to wake up just yet!!!  But then I think… “Ugh… what the heck will I eat for lunch then?!”  So I push my lazy butt out of bed and throw stuff together.  It’s well worth the effort and some of these only take about 10 minutes to throw together!!!  (Particularly the sandwich bentos, which have been my bento [...]
