Unfortunately I have no photos for this post.I haven't made any bentos in awhile because my work schedule hasn't aloud me to have time for one on lunch.So I was thinking last night that the only time I would have the time to make one and enjoy eating it without rushing is if I were to make them for dinner at home once and awhile for myself and my boyfriend.(I guess I can say I'm kinda lucky because when I was telling him about bentos he seemed very interested and said If I made him one he'd eat it at work.I think it would be alot better for him than the buffet food he has.He works at a casino in the IT department and sits at a desk all day and all they have for the workers is a buffet.And it can't be healthy food.So maybe if I make it appetizing looking he'll want to take one to work everyday if I have time to make them.

I have been reading up on alot of bento recipes and most of them call for sake and mirin.I have never seen those ingredients used in american recipes.If I cant get a hold of either of them is there something I can substitute in the recipe?Or do you have to use those?

I have a full day at work on friday with a half hour break so maybe if I can get some shopping done Ill be able to make myself one for lunch.They've been cutting hours back so we only have short breaks recently.I was happpy when I saw that I had a full day this week.I also have to think of meals that are inexpensive to make so I don't go over our food budget.Does anyone have any inexpensive bento recipes?They'd be greatly appreciated!

I was told that the bento hobby is addicting. The person who told me this is absolutely correct!

Yesterday's bento: soy sauce and rice wine glazed meatballs, teddy bear molded rice, carrot and cucumber matchsticks, grapes, cheeseball, and pineapple salad:

wtf_sexism
Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)

Is that a Sisters of Mercy and a Bauhaus posters I see in Trent's bedroom? I think so. I may just be in love with a cartoon character.
