    Was lucky to score some fresh baked, artisan baguette from a friend so that was my lunch. Nicely toasted with some sour cream mixed with dates and pine nuts (not shown as it was gobbled up before I managed to take a photo!). I used my new Poohbento too! LOL

    It's really great for portion control, and it can be super fun!

    Almost forgot to post yesterday's work lunch. Brussels' sprouts roasted then cooked with sauteed onion in pomegranate juice, then chopped in food processor with some pomegranate bits as well. Put that in the stand and stuff flour tortilla shells. Also had half an acorn squash that I just cooked in the oven. And a little bit of low sodium beef jerky for protein.

    Think I need to get another bento box, maybe one that is more square shaped. hmmm

    Not my prettiest bento, but I had this weird craving for cabbage, and the hubster and I are trying to keep the fridge bare before we start buying all the f&v for Chrissie dinner.

    so, steamed cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and carrot, tossed with Lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper with two eggs marinated in ponzu sauce.

    Today's Bearly Bento featured sammiches made of my friend's freshly baked artisan baguette, bacon, dated sour cream, pine nuts & lettuce with some oranges and lychees.

    Yesterday's was simple. Thin sliced beef cooked with a little hoisin sauce (that my computer wanted to autocorrect before as poison sauce, lol) and some baked yams that had a little margarine and cinnamon sugar. Packed to work in penguin bento then re-heated on a paper plate.

    Side note: anyone noticing pictures directly to forum from computer are coming out way bigger than before? Had it happen in another group too where it's a massive picture posted. I tried to post my pic but did a preview and it took up way too much screen, messing up the forum layout if I had posted. I had to upload to tinypic instead.

    Yeah, i noticed that too. If I'm posting from my PC I resize the pictures in ms office picture viewer first before posting now.

    Today's bento is a salad bento with a tamagoyaki. I'm pretty sure I have all my colours today ^_^

    Another bento! I'm on a roll! (which will promptly end while I spend Christmas week in DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!)

    Leftover zucchini turkey "burgers" (we don't prep ahead of time and chill them in patty form, so it comes out more like meatloaf, but still delicious) and broccoli au gratin rice, with a pile of somewhat bruised grapes

    Not quite a bento post but a bento-related post. Just organised my bento area - still needs a bit more work and it is obviously slanted but I fixed that after I saw the photo. LOL.bl3emmp66l1r.jpg
