Monday was Digital Learning Day, and the rest of the week was half-days because of parent-teacher conferences. Here’s what they had for lunch this week!

白米200g メカジキの甘辛煮　ブロッコリーと鶏ささみのアンチョビオリーブ和え　胡瓜ピクルス　ごま塩　スイートコーン　桜でんぶ　ナッツと小魚の佃煮　ゆで卵フェイス（友人連れてきた！）

白米200g スモークチキンオリーブ炒め　ブロッコリーのポン酢胡麻油和え　パプリカ炒め　ゆで卵　胡瓜ピクルス　スイートコーン　桜でんぶ

変わり映えのない弁当だけど食生活の調整がメインだから気にしない😎

Japanese foods creates an empty pit in my stomach that I can just keep eating more and more and not get full. Literally makes even more hungry after a full meal. Especially buttery raw salmon 🤤

Not sure how many Kirby Bento I've made in my lifetime lol, but can't stop, won't stop. 😁

Trader Joe’s vegetable fried Rice
Trader Joe’s chicken gyoza
Spinach with carrots and some pickles I made
Trader Joe’s frozen cherries with a few TJs chocolate tigers on top for cuteness

i've been making bentos more often lately, but i keep using the same things like chicken, eggs, and salmon. what other proteins do you guys like? looking for something tasty and filling.. that's easy to pack for lunch.

This past year I was dealing with gallbladder problems (although currently one month post op and I'm so much better now haha). When I was having galbladder attacks all the time I'd bring my emotional support bento to work every day with similar stuff in it. Always carrots, some kind of fruit, a wrap and some pretzels. Now that I'm post op I can have mayo on my wrap and some chocolate cookies haha. But my bento still brings me comfort. I like knowing I have a whole lil meal here. I'm gonna try some more aesthetic ones (I used to collect bentos and make more elaborate meals with rice molds and face cut outs and the whole shebang). I really love seeing what everyone else makes here. I know this meal isn't super exciting from a culinary standpoint, but I just wanted to participate so that I could share my appreciation for what everyone else does!
