A snack before I started studying today, and to show off my new bento. Just macaroni in a quick garlic butter sauce. I ended up not eating the edamame because it was a strange shade of green.

Because I spent 7:30am-11:30am and 1:30pm-5:30pm studying, I did not have time or energy to cook today. I had to throw together a bento for tomorrow, which is a shame because I wanted to make a monster bento for my 3 back-to-back finals tomorrow.

Wish me luck!

The top part contains a packet of instant miso soup with tofu and the chicken-filled siopao fits perfectly in the bottom container. I used one of my new veggie cutters for the carrots and made some edamame.

When I drained them, the carrots stained my strainer. T_T If I'd known it would stain, I would have used the other one. I'm sort of weird about staining. Oh well. Now I know for next time.

In any case, I am loving this new bento bowl. At first I was afraid it would be too small, but I think it will be great. It doesn't fit together as tightly as I would like, but that's what the elastic is for. ~_^

It is actually one of the last few that I was allowed to order. I've been going a little crazy buying new bento boxes; I need to slow down. -_- I have 2 more on the way, a big serving bento, plus the one I'm bidding on -- but I don't expect to win that auction. Anyway, it's better because now I can focus more on the food. And with the serving bento, I'll even be able to post to my groups on weekends. ^^
