    Didn't take a pic due to phone being dead, but may take one tomorrow. It isn't too cute, but a bento has been made for work tomorrow!

    Two plain nori-wrapped triangle onigiri, a plain small bear-shaped onigiri [no wrap], some soy strips in a spicy red Korean BBQ sauce, lazy tamagoyaki [didn't bring out the square pan, just folded it in my large round one and cut the sides], with a side of Ozuke [<3] and some shiitake mushroom. This lunch is planned to last me both Thursday and Friday. xD

    I did have pictures of my lunch, but the update for my Samsung has decided to also not let it be recognised by my computer :(

    It was udon with a miso base, mixed mushrooms and prawns. It was delicious.

    Finally got brave enough to try the gem wraps. I just threw together a pastrami and chicken wrap with a slice of havarti cheese- will see how that works. Added carrots and ranch dressing and a plum and berries for a total of 485 calories and a large apple for a mid morning snack at 130. It's not pretty. But it's made and it's better then fast food!

    I grew up using bento boxes! My mum would buy different kinds (from hello kitty to anime designs) from Japan every time she comes home to visit. Growing up I was the only kid in class who brought bento boxes for lunch I felt rather different :smile: It is only now I have more appreciation for them. Good thing, my mum kept all my bento boxes!! Have a good one!

    No bento for me either. Company picnic is today, so I'll be eating free food :)

    I use bento boxes during the school year for my lunches. As a teacher, food on the go is my mantra. Mine are loaded with vegetables, lean protein, a serving of fruit, and 1/2 to 3/4 cup of rice or quinoa. On the days I don't have eggs for breakfast, I will add a japanese rolled omelet as well.
    I used several different kinds of boxes as well and all the fun cups to separate foods. Leaf lettuce also gets used to separate foods.

    Happy birthday! Still no bento pic. I slept horribly, woke up even worse. Ended up feeling too bad to bring my bento [had nuts & berries for lunch instead].

    <3 I will maybe start taking pictures once my bento box comes in. So far they aren't nearly as cool as everyone elses but I made black bean patties last night and made an awesome one with those, cherry tomatos, hard boiled egg, raw mushrooms, and some grilled chicken for the Misters protein!

    Ok- not pretty, but at 447 calories and with actual nutrients and stuff, it's a heck of a lot better then fast food!

    Today's lunch, 609 cal:
    fat-free yogurt
    2 peaches
    1 pear
    hard-boiled egg (shaped like an egg, 'cause I didn't get my molds out)
    rollup: whole wheat tortilla, mayo, mustard, swiss cheese, turkey bologna
    the mashup to the left is vanilla yogurt, raspberries, and dry oatmeal, but I ended up not eating that

    It just occurred to me that maybe I could use a smear of brie instead of the mayo & mustard.
    Oh, and I had popcorn for a snack.
