I'm Highly Unmotivated.

Not much of an update, but it's something...

This is greatly influenced by my tendencies to sleep in and go out for lunch.

Lettuce, Croutons, Cheese, Animal crackers, Pineapples.

Picture Update!

Lame Bento

Blagh.  Low quality bento.  At least there's a picture.  Featuring mango flavored Ramune!  Yum yum!

Ingredients:  Noodles, Hot pockets[?], Wheat thins, Peanut butter, Homemade strawberry jam, Ramune

Tips:  Pictures!  I have made way more bentos than I have posted.  I tend to deem some unworthy of pictures, but they all are!  At least for documentation purposes...

Quail Egg Bento

The asian food market I shop at finally stocked some quail eggs!  Once I decided to buy some I wasn't able to get any for a few months.  This is a super simple bento, but it allowed me to try a new food.  They were pretty delicious when they were boiled, but not too different from normal eggs.

Ingredients:  Noodles, Celery, Little sausages, Quail eggs

Tips:  Research new foods.  I had to search for a while before I found how long most quail eggs should be boiled.  If I had just tried to wing it there would have been much epic failure x_x.

Sanrio: Hello Kitty Birthday Bento

It's been so long!  This is from November 25th, my birthday.  I finally made a Hello Kitty bento!!  There was more to this bento, like snacks in Hello Kitty containers, but this is the only picture I have.  Couldn't even find my camera, so I had to use the mac.

I used no reference picture. The image wouldn't resize on Blogger. So today we have a Larger Image.

Ingredients: Noodles, Peanuts, Cherry tomatoes, Licorice, Peanut M&Ms

Tips:  Take those risks.  I was worried my Hello Kitty would be low-quality.  It was.  But it still made me ultra-happy.

Bento of Myself

Wow- I've had quite the hiatus. As it turns out 5 AP classes, robotics, and bento doesn't mix. Guess which one got left behind? Yep, bento. I have been making myself bentos when I find the time, but I rarely get a chance to snap a picture of them; it's even less frequent that I find/make time to post them. Bleghh.

This one is from a while back, I'm tempted to say I made this about a month ago. It's supposed to be me, although the only thing that vaguely resembles me is the parting of hair at the side.

Ingredients: White bread, Ham, Celery, Nori

Tips: Artistic License. My hair isn't this color. My skin isn't this color. My smile doesn't look like that. But it was easier [and cooler looking] this way.

Pokémon: Diglett

Oh man.  I didn't even straighten the eyes.  This was a rushed day...

So I've been going to this Asian market in a nearby town.  It's awesome.  I'm addicted to the Shanghai noodles.  Both for taste and price- 75 cents provides me with at least four meals.  (Not including meats and veggies, of course.)  I plan on purchasing some quail eggs before school starts.  I'll try to work them into a future bento.

Ingredients: Pasta, White Bread Toast, Apple, Nori

Tips: Know your limits.  I shouldn't have even made this.  A simple salad, pasta, meat bento box would have looked so much nicer.  If I had made an effort this could have been great.  I'll try to redeem myself later on in the year...
