bento 16

So for this bento, it was merely a snack, even though it seemed like dinner. I just needed something in my stomach to take my antibiotics with, since I have a sinus infection. That really blows. And we also helped my sister move out of her house tonight, and I had to polish ALL of the wood floors in her house (upstairs + dining room, sitting room + guest bedroom)

mine.

Top: Baby Carrots and ranch, pear chunks
Bottom: Hamburger helper with italian sausage and parmesean cheese

I also thought i'd include the lids in the picture, just because it's so dang cute! (:

bentos 14 + 15

bento for me!

Top: Halved taquitos and potstickers (god I love those things!)
Bottom: Kiwi fruit, grapes for filler, sour cream in the watermelon sauce cup, and mini tacos.

I also made a quick bento for Erika, since she came to school with me today.

Two mini tacos and two halved taquitos, and sour cream in the kiwi cup.
She also shared the fruit with me (:

bento 12 + 13

for me! (:

top: grapes on food picks, potstickers
bottom: white rice, broccoli beef stir-fry stuff with carrots.

So I just made this at home and ate it there because I didn't have class or anything, nor did I have to go anywhere! It was very lovely.

bento 13 for my dad.

Main dish of leftover pot roast with boiled potatoes, cooked baby carrots and gravy
Salt in the dixie cup
Starred kiwi fruit, grapes as fillers
Tucked in beside the fruit, pepperonchinis
Chocolate chip cookie

first order arrives + bento 11

Holy crap that's a lot of stuff! xD Pretty much self explanatory though, no?
Oh, and pardon the messy counter. My brother needs to get off his ass and do dishes before I go on a "clean the entire fucking kitchen" rampage.

Yet again, for my papa! (:

Broccoli beef stirfy atop white rice, potstickers, apple slices with bear and tulip cutouts, chocolate chip cookie

Bento 7+8

So tomorrow my mom and I are going to Amtgard (A fantasy-style LARP... Basically real life dungeons and dragons [yes, the tabletop rpg, and yes, im a nerd]) and so I thought i'd make lunch for the both of us. And this is how it turned out:

momma's.

Left to right: Natural no sugar added applesauce, 1/2 orange, rice crackers, green beans, brie, tuna salad on bed of rice with freehanded cheddar cheese lettering

mine. i'm not really proud of it since it just looks blah, but oh well.

Left to Right: 1/2 orange (sliced) green beans, tuna salad, rice crackers, brie and rice
not pictured: chocolate pudding cup.

I got an email tonight from ichibankanusa.com saying that my order is being shipped, and it should be here on the 24th (tuesday). I'm very excited, and all of this has encouraged me to make my dad's lunch also, as well as plan it. He's also excited too. I think he's tired of getting a sandwich, apple and cookie for lunch every day. And it'll take a load off my mom, since she's always doing things around the house.

They're somewhat similar, but as I make my dad's and my lunches, you'll see that they're going to be very different day to day.

first official bento order! [ yay! ]

So I TOTALLY splurged and just spent around $40 on bento supplies (that's WITH shipping). I'm so excited. I want a cute lunch too, damnit! If I posted everything I ordered, that would be such a long list. I was so very sad that they didn't have the bear box in stock after I looked at it a couple of times. And so I decided I liked pink more than I liked yellow. And I like bunnies!

Well hell, i'll do it anyway and put it behind a cut! (or not, screw the cut. It's my journal and i'll do what I please, damnit!)

I also got a bear & flower cookie cutter and a rabbit & bear egg mold. I can't find those pictures.
