Bento Box Fever!

[SterlingAcres]

Holy cow did this thread disappear or what?!?!?

This is what I sent Ian yesterday. Need to grocery shop. LOL

2 Grilled cheese sandwiches on homemade homestyle country white bread
A few marshmellows
Leftover pork fried rice with duck sauce on the side
He also took water and hot cocoa

My camera lens is broken.

Tomorrow I'm sending Bella to school with some veggie gyoza (mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, celery, etc.), fried rice, carrots, and a couple of mini meatballs.

My son is going through a "I want hot lunch" phase. He got over his "I want to ride the bus" phase. I'm hoping this will pass too. I did get a new camera though so I will be able to post pictures soon!

Bella did that for about two weeks, which was OK since I was not home much after Mom's surgery anyway. But last night I forgot to make her lunch for today, and this morning she said, "Mom--why do I not have a lunchbox?" So we're back on track, I hope.

Ladies, on behalf of all my kamaʻaina (long time resident) friends here in Hawaii, allow me to set you straight. Bento boxes REQUIRE spam musubi, shoyu (soy sauce), and perhaps a stick of chicken yakatori. Your haole-fied creations are the equivalent of serving mash potatoes on a plate lunch! Auwe.

HAHA! Gotta pass on the Spam, even at the risk of being non-authentic.

little harsh for dry humor.

having been born in yokohama and living in japan for 18 years, my mother of japanese decent NEVER made me spam musubi. i do have slices of spam with rice, and eggs over easy every weekend, though. and if i have no meat available, it's spam in my yummy fried rice. my son and i are definitely a fan of spam. crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. yum yum.

btw, yakitori is spelled with two "i"s.

welcome to byc.
