Here is my bento in action. Wholemeal pasta covered in a cider vingar dressing, fresh mixed salad leaf with a whole tomato, mixed nuts included brazil, walnut and almond, two strawberries, homemade hummus, raw carrot, brocolli and cauliflour. Dried mango, prune and pinapple in with the fork!

I'll come up with something more inventive soon :satisfied:

Yup, it just took me longer than expected to get round to preparing my lunch. I'm off to bed fairly soon though.

I might take an extra carrot with me and dip it in the hummus/sweet chilli sauce.

My friend just brought me a bento box from Japan!!!!! :) I'm so excited! I'll post pics of it soon. I don't know if I'll be using it anytime soon since as of now I eat most of my meals in my room, but I think I'll be using it this summer... and I might end up using it next week just for fun (I just really want to use it!) :)
