    Finally got my R2Ben2o! So excited, and really enjoyed lunch today, granola in the top tier, grapes in tier 2 and roasted spagetti squash leftovers in the bottom! YUM

    I just wanted to show that I didn't really start the whole cheese-pun thing:

    You are not alone, stupid, stupid movie, but it had Brendan Fraser in a loincloth, so that makes up for it :blush:

    I love that movie. Loved the cartoons as a kid and was caught many times trying to swing from rafter to rafter via a rope, yelling, "George, George, George of the jungle ..." "For Gawd's sake, you demon spawn, get off those rafters or it would not be the tree you'll be watching out for!" ... LOL.

    Doing my prep this weekend, got some turkey meatballs on the go. I really like sushi rice so cooking some of that too. How do you guys freeze and use this? Do you just leave to defrost over night then eat or do you reheat then leave to cool and eat the next day?

    This website is a great resource. I don't freeze my rice in plastic wrap, I use 1 cup size gladware containers and it works fine. I pack it hot, stick it in the freezer and nuke it when I'm ready to eat it or pack it.

    SK got it right. Pack it whilst it's hot (I use snack sized ziploc baggies, because I find they microwave better), and stick it straight in the freezer.

    So I made these little egg cake thingies from this months Slimming World mag. You fry mushrooms, spring onions and ham then put in the bottom of a muffin tin, then whisk up eggs and pour over before baking. You get a little egg muffin and its about 90 calories each. I had a couple of these in my box today along with rice and brocolli and a salad. I also had a little sasha of miso soup which was really nice as it is cold here in the UK!

    I was going to take a picture but I ated it :(

    I have some cute bentos I bought a while ago but I suck at planning meals. Any tips on basics to have on hand for a good bento meal?
