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.)

Back-To-Bento Moday

Phew!  Break was awesome (lotta gaming), but now it's back to school and bento making.  Not a character bento, but I like how it turned out.  Found the digital camera, which DEFINITELY makes it look better.  I used leftover rice, carrots, and filet mignon from last night's dinner at a Japanese Steak House.  Celery bits are in a disposable froggy cupcake holder and  grapes are still on a mini-wine at the top. This wasn't made in 2003.  I made it this morning, my camera just has major date/time issues.

(Haha, I already said this.  Oops.)

Used: Rice, Carrots, Celery, Filet Mignon, Grapes

Tips: Use a digital camera.  And a cool background fabric.  (I used a napkin xD)

Remember that one bento...

Feb. 5th I posted my Pikachu bento. Problem? Reaaally bad camera angle and lighting. My friend took a picture with her phone, and it turned out a lot better. Here it is!

(It's this bento, if you don't remember it :] )

Valentin's Day Bento

Valentine's Day bento, but a bit late.  It was made in 5 minutes, because I was making valentines for my friends up until when I left.  >.<  I slept over a friend's house Thursday night and animated all night, so the update is late.  Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of Friday's bento, which my mother made.  It looked pretty good for her first bento and it tasted good too.

Used: Eggos, Apples

Tips: Uh...have cookie cutters?  They're best for quick bentos.
