Avocado rolls made with leftover pilaf instead of sushi rice (an odd but pleasing experiment).

OMG these all look awesome! They must take ages to make in a morning. And there looks sooo much! Mine takes me about 20 mins to put together and there is no way as much detail or ingredients. Nice one! :D

^ I think when people make their bentos they use left overs from dinner and such. I may be wrong though

I don't have shots of fully packed bento, but here's an edamame salad with a soy sauce/peanut oil sesame dip that so happens to be in a bento container.

Jamboxrock, your lunches always look sooo yummy!
So I've been challenging myself to branch out with ingredients in my bentos via a new group I started here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1073917@N25/
It's called Bento: Impossible, often in a similar vein to Food Network's Dinner: Impossible and Chopped. Feel free to become part of the group and join in the fun!
