Sunday Bento
Over the years, I’ve fallen in love with the idea of bento lunches. They are a cute and most often healthy way to make a normally boring packed lunch fun and entertaining. The problem is it can be very time consuming and as with most things in my life I get really into making them for a few weeks then give up/forget about how much I enjoyed doing it in the beginning. It only took Ryan showing me a random picture on FailBlog to make me realize that all my bento supplies (which I had spent a fair amount of money on) were still packed up in a box from when we renovated our kitchen. In a moment of nostalgia and a sudden need to make deliciously adorable food, I unpacked everything, washed off all the dust and I was ready to go.
My bento skills are pretty inferior to most bloggers out there who make a new creative lunch every day and are much better at taking pictures than I am. But here is my dinner for work tonight, the contents are:
Baby carrots and Cucumber “flowers” (I do not have mad knife skillz) Sesme Shitake dressing and Blood Orange Segments
Ginger roasted pork tenderloin on sesame soy quinoa with cucumber and carrot “flowers” and half a star shaped hard boiled egg.
