    Bento looks seriously adorable. I've never genuinely considered making food for lunches in this style until I saw this. Props to all your cute lunches, you guys. I think this thread has converted me.

    @madeleadele Yes, it's Margarey Tyrell from Game of Thrones (No spoilers), who she plays in the television show. She's gorgeous! It's actually incredible fan art of her.

    Meatless Meatballs (Kale and Quinoa) over spinach, grapes and Krave snacks! Not the coolest lunch but I was lazy.

    It has done that to me before too. I think it was from putting in an emoji when I did it; the emojis don't seem to play nice sometimes!

    Okay - long time lurker here, and I've been been bento-ing with tupperware. The thread motivated me to get a "real" bento box, and here is my first effort:

    On the left, mini turkey pepperoni and string cheese, olives, and carrots with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge. On the right, red pepper strips, mini crabcakes, and blueberries. Yay Bento!!!!

    I don't have a bento today since a friend at work is bringing in lunch for the both of us, but last night I had the best bowl of yuzu pepper tonkotsu ramen and chicken karaage, so I'll share that instead ^_^

    Yum! I wish we could get the different laughing cow flavours here. All I can get is regular and light cheese wedges :(

    Do you have a recipe for the crab cakes?

    It takes a lot of bad ramen tasting to find a consistently good ramen ya. I'm extremely picky with my tonkotsu ramen though (I make it myself a couple of times a year when I have the time to make the 12hour broth); I wont go back to a place if I don't like the noodles or if they try to cover up a crappy tonkotsu stock by adding in more soy. This place has thin handmade noodles (and you can pick how hard/soft you want them cooked), a thick creamy broth, nice pork and soft marinated eggs.

    Great, now I'm drooling again...

    So jelly of the good ramen. There is a great onigiri cafe over in Boulder [Colorado, yo], suuuuuper cheap, too. I lucked out there!

    [off-topic, but manga sites now have Chapter 225 up in English today. Yay!]

    I have been reading thru the thread for hours (sick days do have their advantages) and remember someone wanting owl shaped boxes. I just saw these on ebay (I'm in the uk)
