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 #47: Donburiiiii

Chicken and beef stir-fry and steamed rice. (approx. 350 cal)

peace!

Bento #39: Alfredoooo

Quick-and-dirty chicken and mushrooms alfredo. (approx. 670 calories)

and you know what i'm not scared of that number because i didn't eat breakfast and i was starving when i went to bed last night so screw it i'm eating all of this

Bento #38: BEARRRRR

Rice, nori bear, egg, cheese, and chicken teriyaki.

okay i can't take credit for this the bear idea totally came from e-obento.com

i'm too tired to say anything about this

but he was tasty

YAY SALEM TRIP zzzzz

Bento #37: Welcome to Chinese Foooooood

Leftover Chinese AWWWRIIIIGHT (approx. don't even want to know)

man this was tough i had to press like three buttons on the microwave

the things i do for this blog

at least i don't usually try to make my sizzler replacements too pretty

Bento #36: NEAR-DEATH BENTO

Ugly rice with black seasame, grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes from the garden

at home, baby cheese, and milk cookies.

i sort of just didn't make lunch today but here is what is actually the

first bento i made for this blog

onnnn the day i crashed my bike

My hand isn't this fat I swear it's just swollen as hell aha the next day I

thought it was broken it got so big orz

so that was august 18 and well there's a reason this blog didn't start until ten days later i couldn't hold a knife let alone do dishes or cook haha

got some pretty nice road rash on one shoulder too and one leg was basically completely bruise for a week or so

so now i have some pretty hand scars and an idiot story

THE MORE YOU KNOW

Bento #35: Couscous THE SEQUEL

Couscous with grilled chicken and sautéed mushrooms. (approx. 470 wait what)

a million calories today but hey i am starving and it looks wicked tasty

p.s. will i ever run out of striped shirts

p.p.s. NO NEVER

Bento #33: whoops

so i may have

totally just been so relieved to get out of my computer architecture exam that i

just ate basically my entire bento and forgot to take a picture

uhm

my bad?

it wasn't very interesting anyway orz

Bento #19: Flat-top Kirby

Kirby ham rice ball, chicken nuggets, omelet stars, and a cheese wheel.

so usually i'm like AW MAN WHAT SHOULD I MAKE FOR LUNCH and then i completely ignore people's suggestions but my super buddy matty flat-top said kirby and i said 'with a flat-top' even though i was joking but he got so excited i had to try

here is your lunch matty

everyone else stop judging me

Un-Bento #2: Dinnerrrr

I took a picture of today's sizzler but it looks really unappetizing. You don't want to look at it.

So uhh HAVE SOME DINNER INSTEAD

Teriyaki chicken, broccoli, and leftover rice. INTERESTING I KNOW

I mean do you not totally love my lack of indoor lighting?

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 #4: Leftovers, remixed.

Leftover chicken cooked up in teriyaki sauce, broccoli, grape tomatoes,

boiled udon noodles, pear slices, and badly-edited underexposure.

Also panda soy sauce.

I told you I'd actually cook this morning.

Bento #2: Grilled Chicken and Pasta Salad

Grilled chicken, broccoli pasta salad with buttermilk dressing, cherry tomatoes, pear slices, and panda cookies. Also someone needs to iron their Target towels orz

Say hello to my other bento box. The two tiers usually make for a little more food than I can handle, but I didn't eat breakfast today so it's all good.

Now I just have to figure out what to make tomorrow. L-L-L-LEFTOVERS ANYONE

p.s. those little baby chopsticks that came with it are impossible how does anyone use them I don't even
