Bento Snack!

February 25th, 2008

I couldn't sleep at all tonight, so I decided to pass the time by making my lunch for work! Since I did get a ton of bento accessories a couple weeks ago, it's about time that I put them to good use!

So woot, here is what I made:

Bento Snack!

Left: little panda bottle of soy sauce, rice balls with cute figurines & cherry tomatoes.

Right: good ol' PB&J in small slices and a "trail mix" of honey roasted peanuts & butterscotch/chocolate bites.

I like to call it a "bento snack" because it's not really a full lunch meal, in my opinion. I don't want to throw myself head first into cooking, I will get frustrated and tire of it quickly that way. I'd rather start small and make silly things like this and then eventually ease into the good stuff. :)

I love this! I was thinking of making a bento lunch for a friend and taking pictures of it. I love your rice balls. :D

Just be careful not to eat those little figurines while eating those rice balls *grin*
I really like how you order those rice balls and tomatoes :D

FINALLY is all I can say! Well actually… I can say more. :D First I want to say that I am at work, I had to skip my lunch to test students, and I am starving! I would die for some of those rice balls! Where do you buy your bento accessories? Smack me if you said already. I need to get back into bento-ing.

Ohww… I’d love to have a lunchbox like that *bounces*… all I have are sandwiches wrapped in plastic *LoL* It’s so cute! It must brighten your day when you open that little box.

This is SO adorable. I like to separate the cuteness from my food, though :P

Kawaiiiiii desu! Like most people on the interweb these days, I want to get into Bento lunches too! But there’s pretty much nothing here locally that sells cute little lunch boxes like that. So i have to order online and therefore it’s easy to put off ~_~ I’m glad you’re finally doing it tho! I can’t wait to see what else you do ^^

I didn’t know what “bento” (I’ve never heard the term before!) meant until just now when I looked it up. :o That is seriously adorable (OMG panda!); I’ve always wanted to try one of those Japanese-ish lunches where they have small portions of everything arranged in a perfect display.

Yeah you just awoke a craving in me for PB&J sandwiches. Going to go make some now :P
