Missed Post from Thursday

I meant to post this bento Thursday, but things happened.

My husband had a deconstucted sandwich with turkey, mayo, and tomato on a mutigrain bread.

Since I was craving a southwest flavor Brittany and I had egg noodles with sausage, black beans, and salsa, along with a tomato salad.

Everyone had a clementine and a half.

Mine and Brittany's bentos were 207 calories a piece.

My husband's sandwich was 308.

Bento 101 For just bento, assignments one and two!

Thanks to Makiko Itoh for doing the Bento 101 series (^_^).

Here are the first two assignments as I have filled them out.

You can get this chart as a word doc from Makiko Itoh's blog, Justbento.com!

A note on rice, it needs to be frozen to be good the next day. and with pasta, you have to oil/butter it properly and put it in a sealed container for it to not dry out.

 Here is the bento on a plate. Some Pork and bell pepper stir fry with some of Maki's Sweet Pepper and Carrot Confetti added in for extra flavor and color, 1/2 cup of medium grain rice, Carrot sticks, and 3 baked Crab Rangoons.

And here is all that food in a box. Simple, tasty, and healthy, provided you do not fry the rangoons (I think baked taste better, anyway).

SPECIAL FRIDAY EDITION: A tex mex shrimp and sausage bento!

This is for my 3 hour trip to another town today, my mother is going so I made lunch for my husband, my mother, and myself. (My mom is making a sandwich for my step-father.)

The contents are:

Steamed medium-grain rice
Carrots (1 whole each, scrubbed then cut into sticks)
Shrimp(3 each)
Smoked Cocktail sausages (2 and a half each for my husband and I's)
a little of yesterday's stir fry that I hadn't put sauce on and froze (for mom)
And
Salsa (pick the heat you like best, I went milder today, because my mom doesn't like too spicy things)

Each bento is 266 calories.

Happy Bento-ing!
