Today's lunch is my version of makunouchi bento.

So. Tired.

( It's not that exciting today. )

I made obento for myself today too but it's so ugly I'm not taking a picture of it, heh. Also this picture looks too green...there are berries in the top tier but you can't see them very well. I got a different kind of lettuce than I'm used to and I had a hard time making it behave. Oh well, I'll know better tomorrow. :)

I keep forgetting how much I dislike making sushi rice. I don't have one of those hangiri things to put it in after it's done cooking so I always have to come up with some cockeyed plan to mix it up and then I get frustrated and I end up making Scott do it. He does a good job, though. :P

Annika has been putting manjuu (steamed bun with various fillings) in her obento, and she always makes really cute faces for them so I decided to try that out. I cannot believe she does that every day...what a pain in the ass! They're cute, though! :D

Today I attempted to make frog faces out of cucumber. It was difficult but they turned out ok, I think. I need more practice before they look pro, but still...who doesn't want to see a cucumber frog face when they open their lunch box?!

Last night we made sushi for dinner and there was way too much of it (too bad rabs wasn't here to eat it as soon as it came off the block) so today's lunch is sushi leftovers.

Scott's been harassing me to make onigiri for ages but I never feel like I have time to do it. Well, today I did it. I did it real good. Cutest. Onigiri. Ever.



( My onigiri. Let me show you it... )

Yay, I actually did it! Today's obento equals tamagoyaki, sweet pepper and onion confit, gluten-free falafel in a romaine lettuce cup, kung pao noodles, and steamed broccoli with carrot cutouts.



( Straight up, now, tell me... )

Oh boy, obento! Today we're having raw broccoli, stir-fried soy ginger tofu, cherries and blueberries, brown sticky rice with a little dried red pepper sprinkled on top, bell pepper and onion confit, sprouted lentils (under the beans krakers), and more shiki no ka bean cakes.
