Eh, I didn't really like this. And the picture didn't turn out that nice. Oh well.

Notes:
- Omitted poultry seasoning, used thyme instead
- I don't know anything about wine so I just picked one that said "red wine"
- Didn't really measure anything
- Cut fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces

My boyfriend made us dinner tonight. The picture isn't exactly focused but it was the best of the bunch. Plus lunch for me tomorrow:



It's the one thing I look forward to in the last few long weeks I have left at this office. Those grapes are almost bad. I hope they are okay to eat since we couldn't fit as much sushi into this bento as the other one; I'll need the extra food so I don't end up snacking on the junk food that's in the office.

I feel like I have waited forever to actually use this bento box, but I can't really complain about the long weekend ~_^ I'm so excited about using it that I have the next couple meals planned out, even though I can't use it again till Monday. Anyway, today we have the thai-style beef rolls, no sauce. (Click here for the recipe.) Plus organic green grapes, fuji apple slices and peanut butter.

Quick snack for school.

( Lunches for tomorrow )


I've decided I don't care if it looks redundant. I'm still cooking, packing lunch and saving money. ^_^

But actually, I think it's only getting repetitive because my paychecks have been short lately, so I haven't had money to buy new or different ingredients. Hopefully next payday (but I doubt it)...

Same lemon recipe from littleyuzu. It tastes different from when I made it last time because I used less lemon and more pepper.

Was in a bad mood when I made this for a variety of reasons. One being that my brother still hasn't cleaned the mess from his party last night, so my kitchen is a wreck. Grrr.

Not pictured: salad dressing bottle filled with balsamic vinegar.

Just a quick snack for school today. It's really the only reason I'm going. That and to show off the new bag my boyfriend surprised me with ^_^

Smoked salmon soba, strawberries and fuji apple slices. I forgot to include the salad dressing bottle filled with balsamic vinegar in the picture. In the carrot spreaders is peanutty chocolate spread, recipe below.

*edit*

Not pictured: I made a bento for him (looks just like mine, but without the carrots) and put the marble cake he brought home for me in my penguin mini bento.

For the peanut spread, I did not use the plain yogurt because I could not find plain soy yogurt and I can't eat regular yogurt. It still tastes good; I imagine it's just not the same consistency as the recipe.
