Work bentos! =D

Okay, first picture is my dinner for tonight at work it consist of spicy tomogoyaki (rolled egg), some sea food suprise made from noodles, fake crab meat, broccoli,and canned alfrado sauce. The other side is a compolation of fruits: two strawberries and half a nectirine; also my cutie fish food pick! *squees*

Last nights bento was rice, strawberries, and one piece of the fake crab meat cut up into four peices. Mmmmmmmm, that was good last night cause it filled me up. Oh, one of mt boss's remarked, " How can you eat with chopsticks? Even when I practiceI can't seem to get it." I chuckled at him and pulled him aside.

"It is practice that makes you better, but I started out by practicing on non-food items like a penny." He shrugged going out for a smoke while I finished noming my rice. ;D

8/23/10 and 8/24/10 lunches

\



This first bento was for work Friday night, its consisted of rice, scrambled egg, chicken peices, and kimchi. The next picture down is a bowl of hot curry made frehsly today with curry blocks! Yay modern technology. Hot Curry friends, enough said. The last picture on the bottom is lunch from yesterday, had a steak in the fridge so I made a sandwich with a potato bun, hot sauce, lettuce, and tomato. Also had a side of bean fries, better than potato chips. ;D

I got my stuff for Ichigo Daifuku, I'll make some tomorrow along with some sweet potato balls and sweet azuki.

Lunch for 8/21/10 and 8/22/10

I used my ichigo bento yesterday for lunch, first tier: ysed the rest of the italian sasuage, used the rest of my sweet and sour chicken fried rice (experimental the previous day but very good). Second teir: half of a nectirine and ahandful of sweet corn kernals with cumin and curry powder.

The rest of the piccies are half of what I got from J-Mart, I definatly wanted some pastry so I got some. ^-^ My mom actually ate the one that had chocolate cream in a shell and I ate almost all the melon bread. I'm not sure what flavor the flower shaped bread is, most likely sweet bean.

Todays lunch was actually from Apple Bee's, small handful of fries and half of some kind of asian style burger but I kept within the guidlines of what I usually eat and how much I eat. Besides the fact that it was in a styrifoam container that looked like a thin bento. =D I also ate half of the melon bread and it was gooooood.

For todays bento for work I heated up some frozen rice with a side of two peices of chicken peices, egg with scallions, peas, and hot sauce. The other side is spicey daikon relish, Mmmmmm yummeh! =D

Hmmm, andmay I say my apointment at the diabieities center went spectacular! I lost 6 lbs and now my current weight is 201 lb's, one more to go so I can reach my goal. Then I can make another weight lose goal. =D

Obento lunch 8/20/10

Using one of my bunneh bento's, the top tier: a veggie salad minus the cheese cause being lactose and tolerant sucks. =p Anways in the salad is romane lettuce, green onion, one slice thin tomato, celery, two pods snow peas cut on the bias, and a side of raw yellow squash. I also packed a plastic squeez bottle of Italian dressing, and a side of cantilope and nectirine mix for a fruit. Oh I can't forget the cute green fishy pick! *gushes*

Second teir: Zitti a la Dennis minus the big pile of cheese on it, wnet out last night with my parents and grandmother to Dennis's and I got some Zitti. Half a meat ball and half an italian sausage cut up into bite size peices.

Quite a spread huh? I still have enough zitti left to make maybe two or three more lunches. Oh, yeah I lined my bento on the bottom teir with tin foil, I didn't want the tomato sauce to stain my bento box. ^-^

Since I'm on a roll with the healthy food let me say I'm glad I don't have daiabities, however the symptoms of my PCOS have been steadily disappearing as I lose weight. My current weight right now is 207 lbs, seven more pounds to lose and I'm at an ideal weight so says the doctor. Having PCOS is what spurred me to start making bentos, this way I can tweak my lunches, dinners, or even breakfest the way I need to. I give thanks to the bento and Japan for giving me inspiriation to lose weight, I'm also giving a hearty thanks to Biggie cause she's been a big help and inspiriation too.

Ah, well today I have to go to doctors for another appointment to see if my thyroid glands are okay, pretty sure they can tell whats going on with all the blood I gave; eight viles is pushing it though in my opinion. >.>

Well, thats all for today and tomorrow is carpool day for meand Lisa, finally after today we'll be going to J-Mart. I can't wait! *squee* Bread day!

Sho Mai goodness =D

TodayI dubbed Shu Mai day because I made some little duimplings with wonton wrappers and a filling I remember making in culinary school. It was fun to make them again and the the taste was exactually the same; delicous. =3

I even had enough let over to make some meatballs by adding egg and bread crumbs as a binder...though it didn't taste as good I should have addedsome spices and onion. ^-^ Well,live and learn right? Oh, I even got to use my steamer! Maybe next time I can make some beef buns! Squeeee!

Mayo cups and food dividers =D

Yay, got more sauce cups! Er, they are called mayo cups but it seems like they can be used as sauce cups the only difference is shape. They have neato snaptops too. I also got some cute bunneh food dividers! * fangirl squeal* I like anything bunny and these were just too cute to pass up, I'm even liking the strawberry with a face and the cheries.

Slowly but surely I will be gathering more bento, sauce bottles, dividers, and food picks.(I only have two sets of the fish s far but aimming for some bunneh picks)

Anyways I didn't get to eat my snack at work so that will be a breakfest/snack combo for tomorow morning at school. I'm also going to make somemore rice balls tomorrow after class to freeze for me bento stash. Mmmmmmm sticky rice *drools*

Two more days to go until me and Lisa go to J-Mart. Can't wait to make those Ichigo Daifuku!

Obento snack for work =3

The snack I have for work consists of a triangle onigiri with salmon filling, milk candy, a peach candy, and a joyful lion sauce cup with honey for dipping my cantalope and nectirine in.

Yay, delicous! =D
PixilDoll

Yay plastic sauce cups! =D

Yes, finally I have some small plastic sauce cups with snapable lids in cute little character designs. =D *daces* All thats left now is to get some bunny food dividers, a tea pot set, and some more of those small plastic see through bottles and I'll be set.

The other piccie is of my candy dish, its got peach candy, milk candy, and a few peices of sugar cane candy. Those are used as fillers sometimes for my bento. =3 I have alot of the milk candy cause of my lactose and tolerance issue. Blargh! But thats okay since the active ingediant is actually soy milk instead of regular milk fom a cow. So it gose down eaiser.

Ja minnasan!

8/16/10 Obento snack =O

Minasan, ohayōgozaimasu. O genkidesu ka? ( Good morning everyone. How are you?)

Good morning readrs of mine,its a great day yes? Urm, its 6:52 AM andI'm sitting at my desk nibbling on a nectirine from my bento box. Today is just asimple snack of half a nectirine, a mini onigiri with salmon in it, a milk candy chew,and a piece of sugar cane candy. Mmmmmmmm, sounds good ne? =3 Took me about 15 minutes to make cause I had to reheat frozen rice and reconstitiute it with a little water. While shaping I made an indent for some salmon and shapped the rice,sorry that theres no picture, was pressed for time.

I put the candy in my bento today because I wanted something sweet, might as well have something good me ne? Milk candy and cane sugar candy, its better than chocolate. That aside,I found some interesting video's on youtube called Cooking With Dog, its a cooking show/video for those of us who don't know how to cook authentic oriental food. There was one video that shows how to make Ichigo Daifuku, I plan to go to J-Mart this Friday to pickup some supplies for that and a few other items.

Karada kowasu yoi hito (Good Eatting Everyone)
Pixil Doll :D

Onigiri awsome! =D

As a aftethought to the post below I just remembered I had some extra rice with bits of sweet corn mixed in. Yay, epic triangle! *dances* and the rice disk of awsome! Wheeeee! =D They will be used as a snack for work, yummeh! ^o^

Been awhile, 8/15/10 bento post =p

Its been a few weeks before I could get back to bentoing, oh and I finally got my first set of food picks! =D Crystal fish, they have really long noses and their clearish. I also got some new sauce bottles, the penguins are not holding up as good as I thought they might, the stickers are coming off them! *cries* So I got a small assortent of plain and piggies. =3

Then theres my bento dinner I had atempted to eat Friday, which consisted of a two teir Gel-Cool bento. The first tier has taco meat mixed with veggies, corn, steamed red pepper and celery, a few peices of bacon, cheese, and sasuage omelette I didn't finish for breakfest, and a side of half a piece of nectorine. The second teir has rice topped with steamed red pepper and celery, raw yellow squash, and some tomato without the seeds.

Truthfully, I didn't get to eat it all, so I saved the rice to make some rice disks for the next day. I learned from Friday night to make a snack instead of dinner. =p I really need to startmaking bento's for lunch again. I want to learn how to make onigiri triangles, so next time I make rice in my new rice maker I'll give it a go! =D
