Spring Rolls in Autumn
Classes started Monday--it's going to be pretty tiring, I think. I didn't have time to make a bento the first day, and I didn't have time to take pics of yesterday's bento. However, here is today's bento:
Clockwise from the container in the top left of the bento:
A small container of fruit cocktail, Japanese style with peaches, mandarin oranges, pineapple, cherries, and nata de coco. I bought a small (11 oz) can, divided it into three little containers, and froze them, so they also help keep the food cool.
A surprisingly tasty strawberry for the time of year.
2 chicken spring rolls (frozen, Ling-Ling brand) that I baked the night before, cooled, and then tossed in the fridge overnight.
A small fish bottle filled with low-sodium soy sauce.
A yaki-onigiri.
A small cup of red grapes.
It was very tasty and sufficiently filling.
For the record, yesterday's contained 2 yaki onigiri, a cold baked chicken leg, grapes, a strawberry, and a mini-Babybel cheese.
I discovered there is a Daiso nearby--even closer than Uwajimaya. What a great shop! I stocked up on a lot of stuff there. If there is one in your area, and you haven't been yet, be sure to go check it out! Everything I bought there was a buck fifty.
