rice

Some people chew on their pencils, some on whatever they can get their hands on. Now your phone can look just as yummy as an afternoon snack.

It's a good thing sushi doesn't purr or I'd just empty these into my purse to cuddle with later and be done with it.

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!

There's no better way to relax than in a bath of your favorite meal.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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?

Don't laugh so hard, guys, you're next.

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!

I need to just keep reminding myself that the rain is good and necessary and soon it will stop and everything will stay lush and green all summer long and it will be warm and beautiful. I'm so glad my lunch can help me remember.
