Bento Stories :)
A sneak peak!
It's been quite awhile since I constructed and posted my last bento here *cough*2yearsago*cough* ^_^; I've been lurking in the community bentolunch for a few weeks now, and all their beautiful bento-related posts have inspired me to take up bento-making again. :) That, and because I spend so much time away from home (as mentioned in the last post), a bento is good for me to carry around. I learned that lesson during "hell week": the week that I bounced around PCC and GCC during finals week and in between work. Having not brought any source of sustenance with me, I starved until 9pm...not a very nice experience, considering that on some days, I was so busy that I didn't eat breakfast and just went meal-less the whole day. :x Yeah, I know...bad bad Michi!
Well. Now that I've sufficiently produced a whole paragraph of ramble... :)
Closeups of the main bento, using my nifty green Leaflet tight container!
Main Bento Contents
Top Left: Pieces of grilled kosher hotdog
Bottom Left: Scrambled egg, garnished with cucumber slices. Our neighbor actually grew the cucumbers himself, harvested them, and gave two to us. :)
Right: White rice garnished with more cucumber (
cucumber!)
Dessert Bento! And a (very blurry) closeup of Mango Delight! :9
Dessert Bento Contents
Top Tier: Fresh blueberries in a paper cup. Sliced strawberry hearts to the right.
Bottom Tier: A slice of Mango Delight cake from Red Ribbon Bakery: a double layer, white chiffon cake, dotted with bits of fresh mango and topped with a sweet mango glaze and light, creamy frosting. Anth bought the cake for my family when he came over a few days ago and it was SO GOOD. Mmmm...
This bento is actually three days old: I made it on Monday, the 28th. Not to worry, though! Other bentos soon followed (one on Tuesday and one on Wednesday...I didn't have time to take pictures of the Wednesday one, though :/). I'll post again tomorrow with my Tuesday bento.
In other news, I didn't get much sleep last night, although I was admittedly very tired. Went to sleep at 1am, but woke up at 7am. Maybe it was all that excitement from yesterday's packages, lol. I guess that would explain the earlier-than-usual LJ entry for today.
One more day till Breaking Dawn midnight release party!! :D
