DH has a stash of strawberries and chocolate in his office for this last week of school. He said that he didn't need quite as big a lunch since he could snack a bit. So, I decided to use an older bento from my collection: one I bought on ebay a couple of years ago. This is a two tiered bento that is nowhere near as large as the two green ones I used last week. However, if you pack for density, you can still manage a fairly large lunch. Here are the two layers together.
What I like about this bento is the fact that they nest inside one another for storage. I think I bought 3 on ebay as a group and got a great price. I'm gearing up with some new bento toys soon that I hope will help spark some further creativity, but that's a subject for another post.
The image above is the larger section of this bento. It is packed with a cucumber and green pepper salad with mint (in the cup), some grape tomatoes, 4 oz of chicken with Cajun seasoning, some broccoli, and a carrot.
Here is the bento stacked and ready to go.
DH was really sweet to me too. I asked him if he'd mind if I bought some new bento gear. He smiled and said if I wanted it, I should have it. What a kind man!!! Well, I guess he benefits from my little hobby . . .
