Experimenting with two boxes

I won't be eating dinner until late tonight, so I packed myself two bentos today, the 500 mL box with breakfast and an afternoon snack, Ms. Bento with lunch, with the Ms. Bento not packed as densely as I would normally to make sure the overall eating portions for the day are normal. (at left: bento box in its little furoshiki :)

breakfast/snack, clockwise from right:

  • strawberry yogurt with bits of banana mixed in, as well as banana slices for decoration
  • kishu mandarins (OMG SO CUTE) that Sue brought to Second Saturday with honey-glazed peanuts as gap filler
  • sweet pickles and two mozz pearls for snack

closeup of one of the sections of the kishu mandarins for size comparison. Were these made for bento or what? They're jam-packed with flavor, too. And here I thought nothing could beat satsumas...

lunch/afternoon snack, clockwise from right:

  • more of that crockpot chicken soup thing I made last week with a few carrot shapes for garnish -- ran out of broccoli and didn't feel like making rice, so I'm just eating it as a soup today
  • rosemary and water crackers with sesame sticks as gap filler for a snack
  • left half: carrot sticks with the last of the green beans in the center; right half: animal crackers
