Re: Japanese style packed lunches (Vegan Bento), pt. 2
Great that you're back! I missed your yummy bentos! :)
Re: Japanese style packed lunches (Vegan Bento)
Roxy, this bento looks even more mouthwatering than usual! 2 questions:
1) What brand is that chocolate?
2) Is that cake homemade? If so, where can I find the recipe? I want to have some right now!...
Re: Japanese style packed lunches (Vegan Bento)
I'd be more than happy to come round for dinner ;) :D
Re: Japanese style packed lunches (Vegan Bento)
Ah, Roxy's back! I missed your bentos. That pasta salad looks yummy!
Re: Japanese style packed lunches (Vegan Bento)

Re: Japanese style packed lunches (Vegan Bento)

Unfortunately there's a bit of confusion, because in the US...

Oh, btw, the smileys were not intended to make fun of your lunchtime accident *hugs* - I was merely expressing the excitement about my cute new bento accessories before having read your post. ;)

Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
Now that's an idea... I'll have to check out Birmingham's Chinese stores! Thanks for that! :)
Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
I should have bought a different colour bento for contrast - my food is too similar in colour! Either that or I'll have to start eating more blue stuff ;)
Today's bento:

Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
Roxy, you know where this pic has to go, don't you? ;)
What's this dessert tofu like? I've never heard of it, but sounds intriguing! And it looks so beautiful with the blueberries!
Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
For those of you who I haven't marked as my Facebook friends: there's now a vegan Bento group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=10855218428&ref=nf :D
Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
Not the most colourful lunch, but nice: butter bean salad, 2 mini pitas (second one was still in the toaster while I took the picture), raisins. also had a banana....
Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
Note to self: I must must must remember to take pictures of my Bento.
Yours all look so yummy - I bet you get lots of envious comments from co-workers!
Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)

Oh Sluggie, I don't know - maybe a whole assortment of Bento boxes?
It is a very beautiful one indeed!
Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
ep, exactly my thoughts...i need all those cute cutters, and containers, and dressing bottles... and a bigger bento, of course :D
Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
Of course! Would we settle for anything less than the best? :D
Nope, just happened to be the cheapest by far, and I figured that would be sufficient to make a start. I've seen so many nice Bento...

Here we go, my first Bento!!! :D
Not very imaginative, can't compete with your masterpieces, but I was still majorly stuffed...

Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
Your boxes look so yummy! I'm hoping for mine to arrive tomorrow - can't wait to start using it!
Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
Emma, if you want a two-tier one, this one is a lot cheaper: http://www.japancentre.com/?cmd=itm&cid=522&id=2166
I ordered mine there, and it was despatched yesterday - can't wait to get it!
Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
I ordered my bento box yesterday, couldn't resist the temptation any longer to have a 'proper' one rather than my ordinary tupperware. And will come in handy as I'll be spending long hours in the...

Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)

Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
Est, where do you buy those rice crackers? I can't get them off my mind now! :D
Re: Vegan Bento (Japanese-style packed lunches)
@jamboxrock: how do you cook the roasted brussels sprouts? i'm always scared of cooking them any other way than steamed, i think they might dry out, but yours look delicious!
