Bento #6 -- Hell yeah, you read that right! :D

*cracks knuckles* Are you ready for this? Really? ^_^ I was beyond ready. I've been kind of plateauing lately at WW and with less than 10 lbs. to go... that's beyond irritating. What's the problem? Too many damned processed carbs. Why? I sit in class and nosh on 100 calorie packs all night, that's why. :-P And why do I do that? Because I'm not packing my lunch/dinner like I should.

Re-enter bento. ^_^ I have missed making bento, you don't even know how much. I miss making my little Japanese foods like onigiri (OMG, the sheer comfort level of that comfort food... *_*), and making my cute pretty little colorful boxes packed with all kinds of little goodies that I love. I miss it.

Yesterday, I tested the waters. I made 2 eggs worth of tamagoyaki and had it for breakfast, just to see if I remembered how to make it. I did. ^_^ Cute little folded eggs. I have a picture from the very first bento I ever did over here. And they were tasty. And it was good. ^_^ Then I went and rediscovered my favorite "food" website, justbento.com and all the awesome bento and recipes that she makes. And, OMG, she wrote a cookbook. *dies* WANT!! *_* *coughs* Moving on. Of course, all my favorite recipes were still on the site and I was browsing and plotting like mad. Problem: haven't been shopping lately. :-P Well, I knew I had sushi rice and lentils in the cupboard, smoked salmon in the freezer (Lucky!), and an onion in the refrigerator. With that... I could at least make my two favorites. ;D And so...

I did.

Another view of the bento A close-up of the "box" itself. Just a typical 2 cup (?), flat Pyrex container, but it fits perfectly in the bottom of my lunchbox. ^_^

*satisfied smile* Damn, but I've missed making bento posts. Here's to many more to come! :D
