I’ve made a few lunches for work, either in my little food-containers or in mr. Bento. It has worked pretty well for bringing my own food along, and making sure I eat enough.
I received my new Laptop Lunchbox which will let me more easily transport my tasty burritos. It turned out smaller than I thought, not a bad thing at all. It looks slightly bigger than a regular lunchbox and has convenient separate containers. From the website I learned most people found too many lids annoying, so they only put one lid on one of the larger containers. I would have liked more lids (but I knew this when I bought it), but I guess worst case, I can order an extra set of inside containers. So far, I like the size, I like that it comes with a spoon and fork and it closes easily.
Hopefully in a couple of days I’ll receive my other bento-box, for more food fun.
I went out to the market today and bought veggies, and then purchased panko, chick-pea flower, rice sheets, mirin and sake at the chinese store so I’ll have a good base of basic ingredients. I want to make spicy lentil snacks, japanese dry curry and vegetarian cake provençale. Tasty!




Ooh. That cake looks really good.
My mum used to make me bento lunches when I was first in secondary school… I remember lying in the grass and trying to guess whether it’d be rice, pasta or potatoes today. But I got teased about it, so we switched to sandwiches. Eight sandwiches. I was growing. :)
Eight sandwiches! Wow :D
Part of why I started doing bento-boxes now is because I can’t eat bread too well :( I hope that cake works. It looks so tasty.
I like using mr. bento.
