Wolf(?) Bento

On right: rice; nori; and daikon heart
Comments: I tried to make it nice despite the 15 minutes I had to make it after rolling back over in bed one too many times and running way late this morning. What can I say only two more class days & senior day before I'm done... FOREVER! FREEDOM! *grin*
I thought it kind of looked like a wolf... or a polar bear... *shrug* Who knows. It's all a matter of opinion I suppose, ;p

666 Bento

On left: root bear candies; edamame; blueberries; pineapple; and watermelon
On right: simply asia sweet and sour chow mein & curry filled devil hello kitty onigiri(rice, curry, nori, corn nose, strawberry)
Comments: It's 06/06/06, what can I say? Made it yummy with the curry filled evil kitty, ^.^
The only thing not so wonderful was the chow mein, too sweet & soury for me. In all I didn't finish that, the pineapples, and the blueberries. Probably didn't help to have eaten all the candies before starting on the real meal, lol. Couldn't help it, so good.

Yummy Bento

On left: golden curry and giant carrot fish
On right: white rice; strawberry hearts; nori; carrot beak
Comments: I think curry is yummy. Penguins think fish are yummy. This bento was very yummy. ;p Not sure it was too creative in design though with the desire to sleep in later with the weather getting warmer I was left with little time to plan in the morning.
With no work or school for the next two days(senior skip day then prom) no sure if I'll be packing bento either day. So *shrug* May pack on prom day so I have something to eat as I go about getting ready without resorting to fastfood or something that will ruin my appetite for the dinner

Kiki's Delivery Bento

On left: Simply Asia sesame noodles; edamame; carrot sticks; daikon; strawberry
On right: rice; 1 noodle; nori; carrot letters; furikake; and strawberry bow
Comments: Used to love this movie when I was little. Jiji didn't come out as nice as I would have liked though. Either way it was an uber delish bento today. The noodles, when I first made them yesterday, where okay though too soaked in the sauce to enjoy yet in the bento where soooooo good I wanted more.
Ate all my edamame, noodles, and rice though left a few daikon slices, all the strawberry, and three bits of carrot.

Tiger Bento

On left: rice; carrot; daikon; nori; furikake
On right: carrot; daikon; croquettes; veggie stir fry; and strawberry of soy sauce
Comments: Testing the packing of the Hello Kitty head bento. Turns out that despite it's size just like any other box with proper packing skills it's more than enough food. This bento was easy to make since it involved all foods that I'd already premade all of it, still have some left in the frig. *grin*
Prepare time: 20 min.

Gothy Bento


On left: white rice; yasai furikake; nori; daikon
On right: soyboy raviolli(sp?); heart croquette; strawberry; and vegan chocolate
Comments: A gothloli design for a gothloli box. May also have something to do with the never going to bed too... Made a batch of croquettes at 3am along with some other small tidbits of bento/me friendly foods for easier meal prep.
Can't wait to eat this bento, despite the lack of veggies which I made up for in my snack box w/ edamame!... I HAD to have the strawberry it came from this pack we got last night which has what have to be the most gorgeous and plump strawberries I have ever seen.... In fact that should be breakfast. ^.^
Off to school... and strawberries....

Jbox Order Arrived!!!


Got two Hello Kitty boxes, an ochadog box, and a gothic butterfly box today. :D

Mousy Bento

On top: spring rolls; brocolli; carrot sticks; strawberry of sou sauce
On bottom: chopped lettuce; cheese shaped carrots; rice mice
Comments: AHHHHHH!!! It's back to school at 7:00 now that SOLs are over though I slept in due to my resentment of no longer getting to sleep til' 8am. ;p Just a pair of innocent little mice. Top teir was filling though would have been more interesting had the clock not reached time to go so fast, lol. Not a big fan of unboiled/steamed brocolli though I managed. The lettuce turned into a snack like thing as I munched on it while working on my computer work in Marketing.
Prepare time: 25 min.

No bento today.... *tear*

My lunch today was 6 saltine crackers from a bag I grabbed on my way out the door... so sad.

Chemistry SOL Bento (5/23)

On top: three soy octodoggies; ketchup in container; banana; mixed veggies
On bottom: rice; soy octodog; daikon goggles, beaker, and flask; strawberry letters
Comments: It says 'kagaku' or 'chemistry'. Had the chemistry SOL to deal with so had the soy-octodoggies cheer me up about it. ;p Was rather delish.
Prepare time: 45 min.

Turkey Bento

On left: kiwi; asian pear; strawberry; somen; Boca spicy 'chicken' pattie
On right: three strikes onigiri w/ mashed up curry potatoe filling; ketchup
Comments: A bento I made for bowling. Love the way it looks despite the minimal design aspect. The onigiri where great. Only downfall of this bento was, unlike the onigiri, I failed to get a turkey(three strikes in a row)
Prepare time: 30 min.

Panda Bento (#2) (5/22)

On left: daikon; edamame; bamboo shoots
On right: rice; nori; lettuce; and bamboo shoots
Comments: Bamboo shoots are okay and all though they give everything they touch a weird taste. XP Nothing too exciting about this, just a simple white/green/yellow theme with a cuddly ittle panda bear.
Prepare time: 30 min.

Hello Kitty Nori Bento (5/20)

Top: white rice & 'Hello Kitty' nori cutouts
Bottom: salad; edamame; walnuts; and strawberries

Unicorn Bento

On top: veggie ramen; carrots; gyoza; strawberry of soy sauce
On bottom: white rice; daikon; brocolli; carrot bits
Comments: Today was my friend Brookie's B-day and Brookie loves unicorns, so... yeah. Was a really good bento, rather filling though I didn't finish my ramen/carrots/brocolli. First time making my own variety of ramen and was delish.
Not sure what more to day except wish I'd noticed the missing spots in the brocolli so I could put more in.
Prepare time: 35 min.

'WHY?!' Bento

On left: mandrians; banana; asian pear; kiwi
On right: tofu scramble; bunny(rice & nori); carrot
Comments: I don't know. *shrug* This week and next are SOL weeks so I'm out of it, school only lasts about 4 hours these weeks *grin* Not much of a bento here. Messed up the tofu scramble so it tasted alittle off. The rice was the best I'd had in a while, have no clue what made it better than other times. Wasn't a fan of the fruit today as it got all overly moist.
Tomorrow is Bento Day! for the japanese club, or rather it's the day I'll do a bento presentation. Wish me luck! as I'll need it with the slump I've been in. Oy.
Prepare time: 30 min.
