    Two mini raspberry-filled donuts and some Spanish pilaf.

    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!

    ^ 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!

    jamboxrock, your lunches look amazing! Could be because it's nearing the end of the work day, ready to go home and have some dinner... but my mouth is watering. You should come and pack me some lunches

    I have been inspired by the pretty pictures (and also have a bit of a Tupperware-type box fetish) so have ordered myself a laptop lunch box. Now I just have to decide what to put in it!!

    OK, it's taken me a while cos it's been a very busy week, and it isn't as exciting as some of the others, but I have finally uploaded the photo of my first bento box:
    cashew/pineapple/quinoa stirfry (from VCON), homemade hummus, carrot sticks and grapes.


    Had basically the same box for three days, so only one photo I'm afraid.
    Next week it will hopefully be better, but I am only a newbie to the bento thing!

    I know it's been a while - we had half term holiday (no school so no need for bento), and last week's lunches were very boring - but here is this week's box:
    Tamarind Lentils (from VCON), mini breadsticks (from Sainsbury's), carrots, lettuce and blueberries.
    Kept me going all afternoon!!

    i've just ordered myself a bento box off amazon but one thing i'm wondering.... aren't you all starving.... doesn't look like much food to last a whole day in work (which is what i'm buying it for), i'm hoping to lose weight but afraid i'll be running off down the chippy by 4pm coz i'm hungry lol. any tips?

    do you have one dish every 2 hours or something like that? or just eat the whole lot like half way thru the day?

    excuse me if i'm being dull...it's a new concept to me.

    Back to laptop lunches! Unfortunately my camera broke just in time, so you get a cell phone picture for now.

    tomorrow: corn & sesame seed crackers (bats and black cats), uncheese cutouts, spinach salad w/ apple, red onion & balsamic vinaigrette, pumpkin cookie


    where do you buy your cutters to make all those shapes?

    Daffodil: lol you are so excited! I work from home now so don't do bento very much, but when I did, I ate the whole lot at lunchtime. I've got the same one as jambox, and it holds a surprising amount of food. I can quite happily snack throughout the day but was always full after my bento

    Goddess dressing here, though jambox might have a different version: http://www.theveggietable.com/recipe...sdressing.html
