Bento 2. Meh.

From last time:
Improvement Goal: under 30 minutes morning prep time, check.
Homework: Make Bento Stash for the week... no, but bought stuff.
Wishlist: Fillable sauce pots... sort of.

This was... kinda crap. Too much processed/prepackaged food, too much wheat, too much fruit. Did manage to stay away from the sweets at the union shop, but that's probably more to do with how junky my brought food was to start with. Nevertheless, photo, description and marks follow.


This is a new box. I was super-excited about the idea of the lunch-cube. It's 1400ml of double-bento perfection... except that I only found out *why* it was the last one on the shelf when I got it home to find it was cracked in several places. So it's only usable with dry or wrapped items, and pots. In the undivided section we have pistacios, 2 Taro mochi, a strawberry & apple 100% fruit puree and a mars bar. In the divided section is a crabstick salad sandwich (spring onion, cucumber and a little mayo), a small carrot, a dominos honey-mustard dip for the carrot, a kiwi (slightly under-ripe) and two mini cheeses. Along with the box was a pb&j roll (bread is bestofboth so it's not quite as unhealthy as white bread) which was breakfast, a small pot with 6 slices of egg tofu left over from dinner last night, and a pre-packed little pot of pineapple pieces in juice (not pictured).

Overall scores:
Looks: 2. New bento gear is bright and cheery, but the food itself wasn't exactly art.
Variety: 3. Probably just scraped my 5-a-day, but it was all so processed...
Durability: 5. Pots of joy.
Prep Time: 4. This was quick and lazy. 15 minutes in the morning while talking online.

Next Bento: Tuesday
Improvement Goal: Max. 2 fruit, at least 2 veg.
Homework: Make up onigiri for the week ahead and freeze.
Wishlist: umeboshi!
