bento

Considering how angry these birds are, I'm assuming that you'll have to find a friend with a pig lunch and get the eggs from them to complete your meal.

The more tools like this I see, the more I realize that decorative bento lunches might not be that difficult after all!

You guys, I feel as sad as Wall-E looks! This is the last cute food post! Dry your tears, have a cute snack. Perhaps we'll meet again someday. Thanks for the years of wonderful memories!

My coworkers will be so jealous of my leftovers when I bring them to work in this!

This year, let's get creative with our lunches! Wouldn't a fancy bento lift your spirits in the afternoon? Let's resolve to cut a shape out of a vegetable or a piece of cheese or meat just once a week this year.

I could do with a bento each day with the current date on it. I never know what day it is.

Did you guys have an awesome New Year's Celebration this year?

It's only appropriate to fashion the facial features of yummy little piggies out of pork products. Plus, hot dogs are really a wonderful thing; waste no part of the pig, I say!

What? No, I don't have an iPad, I just have a fuzzy, delicious lunch. Nothing to see here, muggers. Move along.

The Japanese are so polite to keep my lunch neatly stacked and compartmentalized for me.

Oh the patience it must take to create a whole bento tableau! Sure it LOOKS easy, but what about the little whiskers? And what is the nose made of? Also, how long does it take to make one bento anyway? Doesn't everything get warm and gross? Do you have to make it in a really cold room? Oof, too much work.

What Pac Man here doesn't realize is that he and the ghosts are really made of the same stuff. Let's all try to get along, shall we?

The big rice swim meet is today, wasn't it nice of mom to think of you and make you a themed lunch? You're gonna rock that rice backstroke, piggy!

Here is cold, hard proof that eating healthy can be fun. What kid wouldn't love a cheerful snowman lunch? It's low-carb, lean protein, high fiber, and most likely incredibly tasty. I approve!

Elephant, thank you for making me such a delicious and beautiful meal! You sure are talented and precise with that big trunk of yours. How you managed to carve a self-portrait out of cheese, I'll never know!

Most meals I make end up looking like the right hand portion of this bento; a mush of different types of food. I figure, it all ends up in the same place, who cares how it looks? Obviously someone cares. I'm so ashamed.

What sorcery, what devilry, what evil tricks were used to shape the yolks but not the whites of those hard boiled eggs?! I would like to learn this secret magic! Teach me your ways, o dark one!
