Olive Me Bento

For this week I took a lovely pork sandwich to work, yet I felt compelled to bring more food - perhaps a few sides. Hence, this polar bear bento box called out to me. It's time to freeze at work, so we might as well have a smile with Syrupy O'Clock.

The little pink bear (apparently with tummy problems) pleads, "Why not take Olive Me?"

Alas, I'm sorry we're destroying your habitat, Sweet Polar Bear. Here, have a cherry.

Happy boxes make me a happy worker

My beanie boy took tuna salad and crackers one day this week. Somehow he always makes me chuckle.

Syrup o'clock was full of protein on the top and fruit on the bottom. This box is destine for a breakfast bento though, don't you think? I mean Syrup, as in maple, as in pancakes, as in Yum!

These are my two polar bear bento boxes. The white one has a cool gel in the lid that you freeze to keep a small box of, in this case, cut up watermelon super cool. The aqua color case has lock down lid with a polar bear wearing a striped t-shirt. In that box, I packed vinegar rice on the bottom and teri-chicken with a bottle of soy sauce and a few dill pickles in the top.

The background is my dreary desk, so now you know why I need my lunchtime smile. 

I did another polar bear bento way back near the beginning of my bento career. It's fun to look back at my attempts to be innovative with bento. Though sometimes it just comes down to time.
