bento

These three bears look mighty comfy in their perfect bed of rice that is not too hot or too cold. I would eat them right up!

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!

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

My lunch is scowling at me, I don't know if I can eat it anymore.

I wish every year was the year of the precious little dragon and box of meatballs. How could you have a bad year with meatballs?

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!

It is a nice day, isn't it? It's super nice when my lunch agrees with me that things are pretty okay. Hey cheese bear, can I borrow your hat? It's so sunny, I need a visor to keep from squinting.

I have to say, though it sucks to have rain in the summer, I do love the sound it makes when it patters on the dry ground for the first time in a while. Thanks for helping me celebrate, lunch!

Every meal is an opportunity to scare your loved ones just a little.

Let's be very very quiet, panda is sleeping! He looks so cozy nestled into his snug little box. I'll let him sleep until I get really hungry and he won't know what hit him.

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

That giant bag of raw almonds in my desk drawer is so depressing I can hardly even think about it. Especially now, seeing a snack that would just brighten up my day. Stupid almonds, Y U NO CUTE?

Just like the hidden Mickeys all over Disneyland, how many Mickeys can you find in this bento?

I'll forgive kitty for leaving footprints on my egg because he drew pretty little hearts on my chicken fingers! Aw, kitty, you really do love me!

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

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!
