39 - 40 - 41 [3 BENTOS TODAY!]

mine!
Top tier: Smashed hard boiled egg w/ butter + salt + pepper [microwaved], mini brown sugar cinnamon bagel w/ cream cheese
Bottom tier: Impromptu rice pudding!

So I woke up around 11am this morning [i'm a college student, can't you tell? going to bed at almost 3am and waking up around 11am] and I came downstairs and opened the covered pot on the stove and discovered rice. I ask my mom, "Is this sticky rice?" and she just smiles. And so I decided to make a breakfast bento, since I'm not in school for the week, and I just felt like it!

mine, again!
Left tier [sidecar]: cheesy bacon egg scramble
right tier [sealable box]: chocolate chip banana pancakes, chunky peanut butter in the silicon cup.

So I wanted to make breakfast for dinner. And I did, because i'm allowed to, and I was really craving eggs and pancakes. So I got a bit creative. I threw some chocolate chips in the batter, and then sliced some banana and placed that on top as soon as I got the batter down on the griddle. Then I flipped them and let them cook until done on the other side. I made 6 total and ate the other two with just straight butter. I honestly think that was better than the peanut butter.

Then after I got the pancakes made, I threw a couple eggs in a bowl with some cream and salt, mixed those until scrambled with a fork, sprinkled a bit of bacon bits and shredded cheese into the raw egg mixture. I then threw that into the pan for it to get nice and scramble-y [is that even a word?] and then let some sliced cheddar melt on top of it after I thought that it was done enough [I absolutely HATE runny eggs, which is why I will not eat sunny-side up eggs, over easy only or scrambled please]. I then just decided to throw them into my box instead of putting them on a plate. And I put some peanut butter into the divider cup there (:

for my papa.
Top box [left to right]:taco meat, refried beans, spanish rice, shredded iceberg lettuce, diced grape tomatoes, chocolate chips, banana walnut muffin
Outside box+Lock&lock: flour tortillas, orange segments, shredded cheese, medium salsa, sour cream

I was going to make some enchiladas for my dad, but since we didn't have any leftover shredded pork [country style ribs] or beef [pot roast], I just decided to do a make your own taco box. I think he'll quite enjoy it.

Man, I can't believe I made 3 bentos today. Just, wow. I mean, the second one wasn't THAT hard, but still...

I've done as many bentos as I am old! [ bento 18 ]

So today is one of my days off from school [ I only have school on Tuesdays/Thursdays ] and my Dad had jury duty so he came home for lunch today! Which means I didn't have to make him a lunch, since he doesn't have refridgeration/microwaving capabilities, as he as not at his office. So I made my own bento today, even though I ate at home. It was delicious, regardless!

mine! (:
Top: Baby carrots, Grape Tomatoes, Ranch in the sauce cup, craisins, and a strawberry chocolate cheesecake ball in the green divider cup [ my mom calls them that because it's strawberry cake mixed with cream cheese frosting covered in chocolate ]
Bottom: A mix of pepperoni and italian sausage calzone.

The calzone was leftover from when my parents went out for their anniversary and decided to bring back calzone for my brother, best friend and I!
I also don't have a picture of my dad's lunch, because he ate it by the time I even thought about taking a picture! Sad panda. Oh well, I will be back to making bentos for him tomorrow!
