But i do feel like there is something missing from my life... sigh... my lunch...

Oh yeah, Bianca is starting summer school tomorrow, so she probably won't be updating either..

Well look forward to the school year! Toodles!

50th post (exams)

2007-06-20T17:16:00.001-05:00

Wow, 50th post.. INSANE!!

Anywhoot. It is sadly not honored with two silly bentos i put little effort into, sorry.

First is a Random Salad and Pasta Bento (i'm too lazy to explain).

Next is a curry thing with some salad... and cherries.

YUM-O

Anita

PS:Also, I will probably not be updating because summer is here and I probably won't be making any new bentos. tra-la!

bento and my house

2007-06-02T08:01:00.000-05:00

Well one more bento before I'm caught up.
This bento actually took some time, I especially like my salad monster, but the left over pork still creeps its way into my bento... harhar.

this is my Backyard, it looks cool, eh?

Anita

I'm quite in the behind

2007-06-02T07:54:00.000-05:00

Well anime north has come and gone.... And I've been lazy in my bentos... hahahah!
First we have a quick bento I pulled together one morning, it contains sliced apples, i think that's a peach...., some bits of a granola, and assorted sliced cheese/meat rolls.

This contains leftover grilled pork and peppers, and pita with hummus... man, I'm lazy.. plus the flash made my food look... blarg..
Lets not forget the strawberry pocky.. Mmm Mmm!

Sukiyaki+

2007-05-23T16:46:00.000-05:00

MMM! For my b-day, my folks took me out for SUKIYAKI! IT WAS SOOO GOOD! Here is a nice picture!

31st Bento

2007-05-23T16:42:00.000-05:00

Wow, 33 bentos! I really have come a long way! lol.
This one contains a rice/veggie conglomerate that I tried making, It tasted very very good! I think I should have had more veggies and less rice. Then on the bottom half, I have watermelon, boccachinni, and almonds! I ran out of nori a LONG time ago, so I haven't been able to make my bentos pretty. Right now, I'm just concentrating on taste.

THREE DAYS TILL ANIME NORTH!!
Anita

Nameless

2007-05-18T20:58:00.001-05:00

Another Double Post

2007-05-16T15:10:00.000-05:00

Heyy guys, another bento double feature once again. I'm reaaly lazy.

This one has left over shepards pie, neatly cut carrots, some triscuts, tomatoes, and my favourite mashed yams. I ♥ yams!

Next is today's bento, It contains an omelette (which I will be posting the recipe up for soon..), carrots, apples, and leftover pesto pizza from when we went out for mother's day, yumyum.

Now for something completely different:

This is my tree! =O

Anita

Pause

2007-05-11T19:10:00.000-05:00

Just decided to post a REALLY cute picture of my cat and I

=) my mother took the picture.
that's all I really wanted to say, aha.

Anita

Gomen, Gomen

2007-05-11T18:48:00.000-05:00

I'm still behind a little, oh well.
First is today's bento, i was very rushed, so I only managed to put in the basic food, and not do anything fancy. I think I'll do something much more "creative" once monday rolls around again. This bento contains carrots, salami sandwich, tomatoes, almonds, and some cheese and crackers. Simple, Simple, Simple.

Yesterday's bento... well i cheated a little bit, but you HAVE to see this:

Amazing REALLY! A microwavable BENTO! These people finally learned what sells. Anyways, so the microwavable bento went INTO the bento box, and surprisingly tasted good! One problem, the rice was crap. Maybe that was because it was FROZEN before. Final words: Eat the nuked bento NOW.

Catch-y upperz!

2007-05-09T17:32:00.000-05:00

Okay, I'm a wee bit behind, but thats okay.
First is a quick bento with hummus, bagel peices, tomatoes, carrots almonds, edamame beans (they look fuzzy, tee hee), and some of my mother's apple and blueberry crisp. Tasssty!

Next is tuesday's bento... This was also a quicky (i'm running out of food.. aha). Layer 1: Egg noodles, bananas and carrots. Layer 2: potatoe, almonds, tomatoes, and some chicken and bread. It was tasty, i wish i had more veggies.

Ps: I love this new Angle for the bento's, i might do this from now on!

Anita

40th Post!

2007-05-02T18:20:00.000-05:00

Woot this is the 40th post!

Wow, amazzinngg.
Anyway's here's the bento's I'm behind on. I love how it looks in the black.
This contains apple slices, bread, hidden chicken, mom's coconut cake, and salami-cheese rolls with carrots. It was rather tasty.

Next:
A tasty spaghetti and (soy)meatball bottom, with a small chicken salad with tomatoes and apple slices. I love my new sauce containers, that have the dressing for my salad.

Anita

Doo dooo dee daa!

2007-04-29T10:59:00.000-05:00

That's all I really wanted to sayy... ahha!

Okay here's wednesday's bento,
Contains a half of a hard boiled egg with ketchup, peices of bread and walnuts, peices of apple, and last but not least... SPICY OCTOPUS BOKUM!! That was sooo good! But it was very very very spicy! Good thing I brought my water!

Next is today's bento!
Okay first we have some calliflower, potatoe, strawberries, tomatoes, and apples in the first part. Then there's some angus beef with BBQ sauce, herb bread with hummus, and some tomatoes as well.

This was a very satisfying lunch, and possible one with the most variety!

Anita

My mother found a little japanese store in Toronto, Here are the things she got me: (click on them for a larger picture)

Double Bento Feature

2007-04-22T12:22:00.000-05:00

Today I am still behind, and I have two bentos for you today.

First is Thrusday's bento it contains many cut up fruit, left over beef and potatoes and a side of some bread with a dash of tumeric... I put less effort in this one.

Next is Friday's Bento.
It contains very simple ingrediants, as in salami sandwiches, a chiken wing, tomatoes, carrots, almonds and two hard boiled eggs with caviar... very very simple. I also put less effort into this.

Btw, I'm also quite sad that the LORTO beta is ending... It was fun while it lasted.
(my character!)

Anita

Wooh! Update!

2007-04-18T16:07:00.000-05:00

Okay I'm alittle behind, but here it is!
Monday's bento contains roast pork, random vegetables, bread, tomatoes, and granola bar peices! Weird huh?

Tueseday's bento;

It was really rushed due to the time i had in the morning to make it. It has a cheese omelete, veggies, and a girl guide cookie (haha).

Now a picture of my cat, because he's cute!

Anita

Friday Bento

2007-04-14T19:52:00.000-05:00

This is Fridays bento, its relatively simple, but you knoww. Left over chicken wings, small salad, tomatoes, bread, and almonds and cheddar.

Pretty simple, yet very tasty!

Oh I saw Disturbia on the weekend with "the gang" (you know who you are). It's a surprisingly good movie! Go see it!

Anita

Easy Bento

2007-04-12T19:16:00.000-05:00

I threw this one together at night...

Very very simple. I had no creative effort to put into it.
Plain cracker, with apple slices, grapefruit, beef and carrot slices, and some lettuce underneath. There was also a very sad looking chick egg. Truly a dissapointing bento on my part. Oh well. haha, it tasted alright.

PS; look forward to a competition!

Anita-ya

Cheese Bento

2007-04-11T20:57:00.000-05:00

HELLO HELLO MY LOVELY PEOPLE
this is the bento that i ate at lunch today. It was very filling. I'm improving!!! I'm trying to be as fancy as Anita but i don't have as much time as her. But i did force myself here and made something that i think is very pretty!!!
In the right bento their is red peppers with crackers on top, and at the bottom are little pieces of cheese that i cut in little squares.
ON the left is a random little salad that i made. Pieces of carrots with chesse and spinach. I made a fancy decoration like Anita with heart shaped cucumbers!!! And on the very far right side is Anita's mom's crackers!!! VERY GOOD^___^
...i will try my best to make my bentos fancier!!

Bento Todayz!

2007-04-11T15:22:00.000-05:00

Now todays bento!

It was kind of rushed, but I'm trying to become more creative with these ingrediants... since they're pretty common.
Top half is salami sandwich and tomatoes, bottom half is grapefruit and carrots. Some of them are shaped like packman.

That's all for now.

Oh I ordered another bento! It's blue with flowers!

Anita

Yesterdays Bento +Curry

2007-04-11T15:07:00.000-05:00

Okie-dokie! I forgot to put yesterday's bento up, so here it is.
I took my time making it prettybecause it was the first day back after the long weekend. The bottom half has left over curry rice, salami and cheese sandwiches, and neatly cut tomatoes. The top half has apples, nuts, MORE tomatoes, and Apricot Jam sauteed sausage. Tasty no?

By the way, The curried rice came from the dinner I had on monday.
It was quite good. I think I finally have the hotness and sweetness mastered! haha.
It was very tasty, but I think I made the vegetable pieces too big... =S

Oishiisoo desu ne?

Anita

Happy Easter!

2007-04-08T15:04:00.000-05:00

2007-04-05T22:35:00.000-05:00

Well bianca came over and we experimented a little...

We also tried making hotdog octopus... but we had veggie dogs

SUCCESS! FAILURE!

Over all I think we experimented a little too much....

Anita

Easter Bento

2007-04-05T22:27:00.000-05:00

This is my EASTER BENTO! ^__^

I have alot of reaaaallly cute things in here that i worked really hard on (especially the chick eggs, that only ONE worked out perfectly). And the bunny ear apples were also time consuming.
Dessert was in the secret compartment along with italien dressing in a small container to make sure my salad doesn't get soggy.

Anita

Tired Bento

2007-04-05T22:04:00.000-05:00

Hello.
This is a bento made by my mom. I stayed up all night doing homework. When i woke up this was alredy made. It is very nice of her yes...but i have no idea how to explain it to you.

The top is from our lefover chinese food with random cut up carrots. The bottom one..well all i can say that it tasted wierd, and since i was hungry i din't ask any questions and just ate it.

We are still currently working on the recipe site!!!

Crap-a-lackin' Bento

2007-04-04T20:19:00.000-05:00

This bento was truly rushed..
and I'm SOO ASHAMED OF IT... that I didn't even show the top rice part, only the bottom half... Which is still very bad.

But I do have a picture of one of the onigiri I made.
It's filled with my mom's special chicken.

Anita

2007-04-04T20:13:00.000-05:00

Italienized Bento

2007-04-04T20:07:00.000-05:00

YO wazzup
kk thats my little pasta bento. For the top i cut up some apples and cucumbers and added little pieces of carrots. For the Bottom i used Pasta rice size and added oil for taste with a bit of cheese on top. The only problem with this bento is that i put WAY to much oil. Just a little bit is enough ppl!!;P

Creative Spaghetti and Salad Bento

2007-04-03T18:28:00.000-05:00

Next is TODAYS BENTO!!
Which contained Apple slices, Maple Syrup Sauteed Yams, more cherry tomatoes and leftover shrimp and orzo salad. Orzo by the way, is pasta that looks very similar to rice... except... it's pasta. Very tasty except the yams were a little too sweet this time. Bianca said that we should put recipes on this website soon.

Okay YESTERDAYS BENTO!

First we have the Curry Rice Bento.
Where I tried to write my name in japanese... but the "Ah" in "Anita" got pretty mest up, har har. Curry rice was left over from family curry day... mmm...

Anita

Okay I have two more bento's that I'm behind on.
First is my two salami crackers with two sides of salad and pears. Very simple Bento.

Next is my heart shaped leftover pizza and yam bento (full of left overs... haha).
The yams were pretty tasty! but a little cold. I think I should start putting some more effort into the appearance of the lunch

More catch-up later.. only 2 more till i'm caught up.

Anita

Waii! Bento Parade!

2007-03-31T18:02:00.000-05:00

BEAT THE BENTO NOW HAS IT'S OWN CUTE BUTTON!
(check it out in the navigation!)

I have a couple more bento's to add before I'm all up to date.

First, here is my salmon onigiri bento. In the very top part, there is Citris Iced Tea mix (which I'm getting very addicted to) and a small candy. Then we have 3 salmon onigiri (made from this >fish<), and in the bottom half, is a small salad (with italian dressing) and some grapes. It's hard to see, but the onigiri have a little fish >design<>

Next up is the simple bento.
The Bottom half has apple cake, grapes and balsamic strawberries. Next is a simple sandiwch (which had a VERY nice filling) with carrots. Also on top, is the Iced Tea Mix, and two almond chocolate pockys.

I also organized the bento's into Anita's and Bianca's. So it's easier to organize.

The Race

HAWAI BENTO

2007-03-31T11:07:00.000-05:00

Hello, Hello!!
This is my Hawaii Bento. My friends and I got together to beat Anita's Bento. We took a gingerbread cookie cutter and with it we cut cheese, salamie and toast bread. We used peper for the mouth and the hair and olive pits for the bra. As you can see the skirt is a piece of lettuce; and the eyes are made out of a little piece of olive.

I must say it was a really good sandwich. It is something that evryone can enjoy. ^^

More Bentos

2007-03-30T15:45:00.000-05:00

I have to catch up on my posting of bentos!
This is my "heart" themed Bento. I used one of those heart shaped cookie cutters to cut the apples and pears in the top part, and the salami and mustard sandwiches in the bottom half.

And here's ANOTHER Bento from awhile ago.
It looks very messy. But the top half in a side salad with apple slices and walnuts.
In the bottom half, is a fresh small cheese omelete with a little but of ketchup.
It's not that appeasing to the eyes... but it was tasty nevertheless.

Here is a close up of the top part because the omelete picture turned out extreamly blurry!

Anita

It's Go TIME!

2007-03-30T12:01:00.000-05:00

I LOVE YOU MY BENTO FRIEND!!!
