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 #51: Higgely-Piggely Bento

Grilled rice ball, carrot kinpira, turkey, veggies, and fruit; approx. 225 cal

well sort of a grilled rice ball i sorta tried making one and then it fell apart in the pan and so i kinda half fried-rice'd it and then made a rice ball out of the fail rice and um LOOK I MADE KINPIRA

it's not as stupidly cold today just dreary and snowy i wish it would be sunny so i could take nice picturessss

aaand well my 10:00 class got cancelled so i guess i should go eat this thing and play ragnarok

Bento #17: Pizzaaaaa

a slice of leftover domino's, pickled carrots, cukes, the last of the slowly dying

strawberries, and some cold cuts

no i didn't order domino's i know someone who did and they just couldn't handle the garlic bread crust and melty cheese and kicky sauce and so they gave me their pizza and now i have to finish it woe is meeeee

Bento #16: Annie's Shells

annie's white cheddar shells, beef hot dog, and a quickie lazy salad

what who just sat around all weekend and didn't cook and ordered domino's for freakin' supper this weekend NOT ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

b-but look i didn't die i just don't reeeeally need to cook every day?

Bento #10: A Feeble Attempt at Caloric Balance

Salted pan-fried chicken, baked mac-and-cheese, carrot sticks, watermelon,

and the last sad wrinkly grape tomatoes before I have to go grocery shopping.

So when the recipe said pan-fried I probably should have connected that that meant frying it in a pan and not just kind of cooking it so there's that and oh god my landlord is outside and he has grown a handlebar moustache and I don't even know what to think anymore it is too early for this

Bento #6: Hot Dogtopus and More Noodles

Turkey hot dog, grape tomatoes and broccoli (SURPRISE), bs-ed carrot kinpira,

and udon/veggie stir-fry.

BEHOLD THE GREAT FOREST OCTOPUS RULER OF FOOD WEEABOOS WHO THINK OCTOPI ARE CUTE AND THEN REALIZE THEY ARE ACTUALLY REALLY HARD TO FIT IN A BENTO BOX AND THAT THERE ARE NOT ALL THAT MANY BLUE FOODS TO MAKE WATER OUT OF um and also forests i guess
