In this bento I have white rice, scrambled egg, ground beef, carrots, and green onion. In the thermos I have some chicken stock that I added soy sauce, pepper, garlic and more green onion. And I grabbed an apple from the table.
My sprig of rosemary is from the same coworker that gave me basil. I need to bake some rosemary bread. That would be yum!

Today's lunch was just quickly thrown together. I took a leftover hamburger patty, crumbled it up and placed some rice on top and sprinkled it with black sesame seeds. I then threw in a Babybel cheese, cherry tomatoes, grapes and a piece if broccoli.
I think I'm going to try and skip the broccoli for a while. I have not been wanting to eat it. Although it holds things so well in bento.

Lunch for Saturday, September 24, 2011
The Kid and I decided to try out Bento Asian Diner in Broken Arrow, OK. For $8.00 each you get to pick out a soup, sushi (4 pieces), rice or lo mien, a meat, eggroll/wonton/dumpling.
The Kid loved his miso soup. I had the eggdrop. My soup was thick and tasty.
The Kid had teriyaki chicken, eggroll, steamed rice, & California roll. He liked everything except the eggroll.
I had chicken dumplings, fried rice, spicy chicken & shrimp tempura roll. Everything was very good.
We also got a Dragon roll to share. It wasn't too bad. We should have skip this though since we had plenty of leftovers. But I did eat those for lunch the next day.
Overall opinion of Bento Asian Diner... We would go back if we were in the area.

Today's lunch is leftovers again. Last night we had roasted red potatoes with fresh basil and roasted chicken. A co-worker gave me a whole bag of basil and I plan on using as much as I can in every meal.
I took the leftover chicken and made some chicken salad with grapes, green onion and garlic. For my chips I took a flour tortilla and cut it with a cookie cutter, sprayed with cooling spray, sprinkled with garlic salt and baked the pieces in my toaster oven. Also I have leftover red potatoes, grape tomatoes, a piece of basil, grapes and a Babybel cheese.

Today's lunch is leftovers from dinner. I made panko breaded chicken. Mr Man and The Kid thought it was amazing. lol The Kid kept singing the song from Karate Kid that has the line "the best around". I'm glad he was singing it in reference to me. Usually I don't get those kind of compliments from The Kid.
I just threw in the leftover chicken, leftover mashed potatoes, a mini sweet pepper and some grapes. Quick and simple.

I am attempting to do this post from my phone. We'll see how it goes. If it works pretty good I'll be even more convinced to want an iPad.
Today's lunch was an attempt to make a Matryoshka doll. I even meant to added some cute picks that match but I got in such a hurry that didn't happen. I have got to get moving in the mornings. I get up in plenty of time, I just don't use my time wisely. lol
I made the doll using a boiled quail egg that I soaked in soy sauce. I then place the egg in white rice and shaped it. I covered it with soy paper in yellow and orange. The face details are sugar sheet and provolone cheese that was colored with food coloring. I really wanted to use ham but The Kid had eaten it all.
In the rest of the box is smoked sausage, broccoli, grapes, carrot flowers, a mini sweet pepper and Babybel cheese.

Today's lunch was pure inspiration from LuckySundae. I was browsing Twitter this morning and saw her post here of some cute elephants. I was in awe of how cute and how simple it was. She even gave a tutorial ! Mine is not as cute as her's but it was inspiration.
I took some white rice out of the freezer and thawed it out in the microwave. Then I added a handful of frozen mixed vegetables to a pan, heated that up, added the rice, some curry powder and salt. It was tasty. My elephants are made using provolone cheese, a circle cutter, straw and knife. I colored the cheeks and ears with food coloring. Also in this bento are some chicken nuggets, broccoli, red beans and a mini sweet pepper.

Today's lunch has almost the same things as Tuesday's. Yesterday (Wednesday) I did have leftover mexican food but it was just grabbed from the refrigerator in a rush out the door. I also havn't figured out how to turn spanish rice and refried beans into a cute lunch.
So for today I have another pasta casserole in the Hello Kitty thermos. This one has bacon in it. Yum. In the small bento I have broccoli, a mini sweet pepper, grapes, cantaloupe and a quail egg that I turned into Hello Kitty herself. Sheri of Happy Little Bento has made several Hello Kitty quail egg bentos. Here is one example. And now that I found a store that carries them I knew I had to try it out. For mine I cut a bit off the back of the head and cut ear shapes out of it. Then I cut slits into the top and added those ear pieces. I luckily have a bow pick that works real well for the bow. The nose is a piece of yellow soy paper. The eyes and the whiskers are sugar sheet.

Today's lunch is leftover pasta bake in my Hello Kitty thermos. I love being able to heat up some leftovers shove them in the thermos and it is still hot at lunch time. In my small Hello Kitty bento I have some broccoli, a Babybel cheese, a mini sweet pepper, a ham flower, provolone flowers cut with a fondant cutter, grapes, cantaloupe and a quail egg that I turned into a bumblebee.
There is a bee on the thermos that gave me the inspiration to make one. I colored the egg by soaking it in yellow food coloring, added wings using provolone cheese cut with a heart shaped cutter, and added two balls of cheese for eyes. All of the black accents are sugar sheet. I will be glad when I use up all of this. The color runs so badly by lunch but it was not cheap so I am determined to use it up.

Breakfast & Lunch for Friday, September 2, 2011
Today I made myself a breakfast and lunch. For breakfast I made scrambled eggs and sprinkled some shredded mozzarella on top to melt. I also toasted an Eggo mini cinnamon waffle, added some fruit and filled a bottle with syrup. I love these type of breakfasts.
For lunch I used my new Hello Kitty bento box. It is very small but cute. I placed some fruit in an additional container and filled up Hello Kitty with some mashed potatoes that I attempted to shape into Hello Kitty, some smoked sausage, corn pieces, carrots, grape tomatoes and a Babybel cheese. Not bad for leftovers.

In the rest of the bento is a cut fruit mix of mango, strawberry, grapes and apples and a Babybel cheese.
