Portable food

I volunteer at Dress for Success once a week.  Since I stopped eating wheat, getting a sandwich from the sandwich lady became out of the question.  So I've started taking my lunch.  Sometimes it's leftovers, sometimes I run into Pret for a salad, but I bought myself a bento box when I was home and was eager to try it out.  So, I made lunch today to bring, and here it is;


On the menu today, pork slices in ginger sauce, Japanese omelette, sauteed asparagus and rice.  Now I don't think I will go to this much trouble every week, but if I plan it right, I will have leftovers from the night before as my main dish with some veggies and things around it.  Ideally, I would have had a bit of red in there, but I was out of tomatoes.

Have to go get ready, so that's all for now.

    We still have a few kids bento boxes and chopsticks left from our time in Japan. As to missing red - would orange work - if so what about carrots cut into ume or sakura shapes with the little cutters from the 100Y store and where is the plastic grass?

    I failed to buy plastic grass when I was home and I have to wash it all when I get home. Point taken about the orange but I don't like carrots so never think to put them in. I should have some pumpkin.
