Super Bento Update

Great success!  I found the camera. Now for the first of a series of updates.  Today's update will explore my lack of camera skills.

Notice the bento in the red cylindrical container. It looks stupid when viewed from above, however artistically I arrange it.  By putting cute little  rapiers in the sandwiches and taking it from a lower angle, I achieve a cooler effect. (I can conceal my lack of creativity in photographing and bento constructing by making two small changes.) I have some more pictures, but I'll save them for another day.

Oh yeah, ingredients: white bread, peanut butter, celery, granola.

So...

I've been grounded from the computer for the last couple weeks. This in addition to the extreme amount of time I dedicate to biking when it's warm is the main reason for my lack of updates. I get on occasionally, but usually it's not long enough to upload all my pics from the digital camera and other such obento adventures. (I should have time for that later this evening.) I have considered making them the night before, but I tend to fall asleep early (~7 or 8pm nowadays).


EDIT: Or not, because I managed to lose the digital camera.

No Bentos :c

No recent updates, I know. I've been too busy with school/ Robotics/ too lazy to bother. Which is terrible, but I'm going to try to get my lunches back to where they were. Lately they've been Chex cereal, an apple, and a Capri Sun. This has to change...later. (I = Procrastination.) Probably after I recover from the mild cold I currently have.

Thursday Bento

Today's lunch.  I had this elaborate breakfast idea, but none of the motivation I would have needed.  The thing in the middle is supposed to be a heart.  Has a cupcake holder with peanut butter in it.

Used: Eggo, Peanut butter, Celery, Grapes

Tips: When taking pictures, feel free to arrange stuff out of the box. I had to lay the celery down to fit it in later, but it looked much better standing up.

2/26 Bento

Yesterday's Bento.  I had very little time, so I threw some sandwiches together, washed the produce, and tossed them into here.  The blue toothpick/blue cupcake container combo made me happier than it should have, as did the contrast.  I used turkey for the sandwich, because my dad wants me to make sure I get my protein.  He's pretty firm about this, which is good, because otherwise, I'd probably eat fruits and veggies all day long XD

Used: White bread, Turkey, Grapes, Celery

Tips: Yay contrast! This week has been slightly more challenging in this sense, because I picked 2 green produce products.  This shouldn't limit you, just know how to use it appropriately without making your lunches bland.

No Bento Today!

I woke up 30 minutes before I had to leave for school. (Usually I give myself 2 hours.) Everyone thought (or at least hoped) school would be closed due to expected white-out conditions. I quickly prepped myself for the day, just in case I still had to go even though the television displayed no cancellations. (Usually the deadline for their announcement is right when I'm heading out the door.) I had no time for a bento today. In fact, I barely had time to even grab a Capri Sun and shove some peanut butter into a sandwich. I somhow did manage to re-find our digital camera this morning, despite spending about an hour searching for it last night. This means there will still be a bento post later today, it will just be of yesterday's lunch. Sorry for the delay...(Not that anyone really reads this anyway, it's more of an internal apology.)
