Lid: Chocolate Pocky
Top: Carrots, green beans, orange
Bottom: Potstickers
Tight seal: Sweet and sour pork, sticky rice

Sort of a version of the one I made for dad last night. And especially since I haven't had any second helpings of the sweet and sour pork until now. Meaning, I only had it when it was originally served for dinner.

Just a quick dinner bento I threw together while I was making my dad's dinner tonight. I had subway at like 4, and I wasn't hungry until not too long ago. And my god, that subway was AMAZING. One of the best i've had. But also, most of these were leftovers or stuff from the freezer.

daddy's!

Top: Mini cherry pie, Chicken noodle soup with rotini noodles and carrots
Main box: Mayonnaise, orange segments, salt, corn, roast beef, green beans
Outside bottom: Shepherder bread

I felt like doing a soup and sandwich bento for my dad. Yes, I know this is a lot of food, but my dad doesn't eat dinner with us most nights, unless we have dinner early for him [around 3pm or so]. My mom found that little cherry pie at Wal-Mart and thought it would be perfect for his lunch. And I thought so too. (:

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 bento.

So I decided at like some ungodly hours of the night that I wanted to make a bento, but I could only do it with the ziploc tupperware containers we have. So, I did.

Top: Green beans + onions + bacon pieces, sliced apples
Bottom: Hot dogs, Sharp cheddar cheese, saltine crackers, mint oreo cupcake.
