astrangeone's bento counter - weekend made lunches....

I was severely tempted to order a pizza today, but I decided against it. I ended up eating a dinner of rice, and beef tendon and green bell pepper.

I'm also creating the ultimate sandwich for Weds. It's three layers, 3 cheeses, and loads of protein. I hope to show it to you tomorrow - after my two bento boxes are emptied.

Minutes to Prep: 10 - roasted the potatoes for dinner.

Carbohydrates: roasted potatoes

Protein: beef brisket (microwaved/reheated from dinner)

Veggies: cherry tomatoes

Fruit: fresh plum from the farmer's market - possibly going to make an apple based thing

Other: N/A :(

Decorative: Added an extra pick to the tomatoes. Easier to eat!

Minutes to Prep: 5 - made the pasta for dinner, and ended up eating all but enough for the bento.

Carbohydrates: whole grain pasta

Protein: tuna, lazy tea egg

Veggies: cherry tomatoes (I have yellow bell peppers, but this is going to be spectularly yellow!)

Fruit: fresh plum from the farmer's market

Other: N/A - no treats today!

Decorative: I added a plastic grass divider in the between the pasta and the tomatoes. (after draining the liquid from the pasta) - not shown, because I did it after taking this photo.

That reminds me, I should go buy some plums. I love plums.

Your bento boxes always make me hungry. But I keep thinking that they'd keep me hungry too. I'm a glutton big boy :) And I eat quite a lot, and those boxes look tiny :unsure:
 
They aren't too bad. They keep me satisfied until dinner...pretty much.

Of course, you can pack a bigger "man size" bentos. These hold about 600 mL each, and the manly bento's I've seen for sale can hold 1.5 Liters of food. They are scarily big.
 
^ would like you to do that 1L challenge bento LOL jokes

Seroiously reading your bento blogs is porn for the stomach.

Thank you! And, oh god. It's a lot of food, even though it looks like a tiny amount in here. I was stuffed from the beef brisket and potatoes, and I just managed to finish almost all of the fruit. It was crazy!
