Bento #57: Near-death Bento, Attempt II

leftover rice, grilled teriyaki salmon, and blanched spinach (approx. 450 cal)

a very simple box to try to ease back into the bento-making groove wheeee

w-welp a lot of things sure have changed since my last post orz

for one i um passed my second assessments which means i can officially bout now

i'll be debuting either the 14th against burlington (unlikely) or on the 21st against NHRD (definitely)

freaking out aaaaa

and um i also officially hit 70 lbs lost \o/ just a few more to go aha it'll be weird getting used to not counting again haha

b-but the semester's over and i'm getting back into the vacation-y groove

at least until summer courses start on the 16th

sigh

but hey um lunchtime's back?

i'm calling this near-death attempt II because i'm gonna take it on the same bike ride i took when i smashed myself to smitheroons last summer

w-wish me luck aaaa

Bento #56: Curry Beef Bento

Steamed rice, sweet-potato-beef curry (mmmm S&B), and an apple.

I feel like using punctuation today. WOAH okay breathe i'm kidding

s-so tonight will be my first contact practice now that i've passed my assessment

i'm kinda nervous but i got hit at get skool'd and i lived so i'm also kinda excited

i probably won't pass my next level before our first bout against the killah bees on april 10 but still it's one step closer and i'm So Assitedddd

and hey even debuting halfway through the season is better than never at all hee;

p.s. u-um does anyone actually care about my derby stories or should i just focus on the food aaa i don't have a recipe today just make s&b curry and put it on stuff i don't knowww /flee

Bento #52: Group Process Bento

Steamed rice, sesame teriyaki chicken, carrot kinpira, and grapes.

SO MUCH FOR POSTING SATURDAY AND OR SUNDAY HUH

s-so um as some of you may be aware i'm working on becoming an RA on campus next year

i'm really excited about it

and uhmm WELL on sunday i had to do the first step toward getting the job which is group process

basically you go make up a pretend program you would put on for your residents and get observed doing some RA-type things and they then decide if you can get an individual interview or not

soooo i did a program on what i like to think i'm good at

I forgot how to draw since high school I KNOW THERE'S AN EMPTY SPACE THEY 

DIDN'T NOTICE SHHH

so i cooked up a bunch of different little things that could be made in a res hall kitchen and fed them to my group of observers while i explained nutritional benefits and then made a which-of-these-things-has-more-calories flash card game to fulfill the educational requirement

winner of the game would win a bento set or something 

aaaand i got my interview aaa i'm so nervousss i have to call today and make an appointment for friday

then we don't find out until valentine's day

thankfully the great derby social is the 12th and 13th so i have a lot of skating and buying and socializing to take up the time and ease the SUSPENSE

INCREDIBLE SUSPENSE also carrots

Bento #45: Last Day of Classes!

Tamagoyaki, veggies, riceball, and butter cookies leftover from my History Club 

yankee swap gift.

today is my last day of classes

one is already over

i just have to hand in a writing portfolio at two and i'm done with real work and on to makeup work

if i can just finish it fffff i need to redo like everything againnnn

at least i have delicious yums to fuel me except it's decorate-your-own-gingerbread-man at the dc today so i might just eat six of those \o/

Bento #44: Hamburger Steak, New Box

Hamburger steaks, rice, spinach, and way-too-good-to-the-point-of-being-

weird-for-December-in-New-Hampshire fruit.

s-so i got a new bento box for the first night of hanukkah <3

t-thanks mommm

p.s. sorry about the weird exposure in the main photo it's hard to get the right settings on a cloudy day;;

Say hi to little red <3

this box is actually perfect- it holds 530 mL which is just right for a middle-sized box (the light green one-tier holds 450 i think and the big two-tier red holds closer to 650-700)

plus unlike the other two-tier i have it has snaps instead of being held together with an elastic band which is Very Cool

and i haven't had a blue one before NEW COLORS I CAN REUSE SHIRTS AS BACKDROPS HOORAY

Bento #21 : Traditional Sicky Lazy

Steamed rice, tamagoyaki, boiled snap peas, and a miso soup ball.

woke up with a sore throat and dry sinuses and wanted soup

soup does not travel well

so i made a miso soup ball according to the directions at just bento

hot water costs 20 cents at the cafe on campus so this isn't so bad

should i start listing the calories for mine like maki does?

Bento #18: lUnCHtimE ZOOm

Mr. Saturn rice balls with umeboshi filling, turkey hot dog (nOt PiGGy BOinG),

piggy jelly, peanut cheese bars, and broccoli.

aw aww baby's first kyaraben

i saw the walruses in luckysundae's photostream and also in yum yum bento box and sadly the first thing my little nerd brain said was MISTER SATURN

i will say that this took roughly forever compared to my usual throw-together-some-crap-and-run boxes but it was a lot of fun

i may have to try this again HMMMM

edit: i will never try peanut cheese bars again though asdghfffuuu

Bento #12: Traditional Lazy

Steamed rice with pickled BRAIN I mean plum, broccoli, KATAMARI EGGS I

mean tamagoyaki, and dubious end-of-season strawberries.

LAZY TODAY

Put the rice out to soak in the cooker last night and so the most work this required was pushing down the lever to start cooking when I got up to go pee before my alarm went off this morning. Otherwise? Five minutes, tops.

P.S. FIRST GAMERS' GUILD MEETING TONIGHT LET'S MAKE IT A GOOD ONE
