Ok, so it isn't much to look at - but it's a start, right?
Seriously though, if you saw what I had to work with, you'd applaud my lame bento...need groceries. But I'm cheap, so I'm making due with what I have. ^_^;
Just needed to make a bento for my husband, as I'll be at work during lunch, and I don't work long enough to warrant a break...so I'll just eat some salad or something when I get home.
I use a 1L Lock & Lock box for his bento, as I was unable to find a suitable (read: not pink and cutesy like mine) bento box for him without breaking the bank. This one cost me about 6 bucks at Zellers, for you Canadian folks. I like it, because it has three removable dividers, and is microwave safe. He likes it, because it's functional, and it isn't pink. Win-win, right? Ha ha.
Contents: Peanut butter (crunchy!) and grape jelly sandwich, plum, mini burgers, hot pepper rings and a mini tomato from my garden, and some steamed broccoli and mini carrots.
This is actually the first time I've ever made burgers of any sort, as I don't eat meat...but I'll cook it for my husband and daughter, so I figured it was time to make the effort. Result - he says they are "fine". Hmm...
I know, I know, the picture quality is terrible. But my camera needs to be replaced, and the lighting in the house could be better. I'm too cheap to buy a new camera just yet, though. Eventually...
