do you think a world market will carry them? because I live in a really small town and the closest thing to something like that is a world market in the city over.

It's possible. I don't recall world market carrying them, but then again I only got to go a few times before they closed down. It's at least worth a try looking. If not I'm sure you can find them on the internet somewhere.

well It's the only place I know of at the moment. I'll look there when I get the chance. but If I can't find it then oh well. I know it excises. xD

If you can't find them I suggest you do a trade with someone who can buy them easily.

Looks tasty. But it looks so tiny aswell. Is it really enough to keep you going all day? I'd be starving still. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It does keep me full actually. Most people think bento look small, but they hold a lot more than you'd think. They measure in mL, if you research which bento box is the right size for you then it should be good

Hm, you're probably right. Just looks like a appetizer with one bite sizes of everything.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't usually eat appetizers because I won't be able to eat dinner. I do have a fairly small stomach, and it did shrink a bit when I first started bento making, but then again I do eat about 100 mL less than what is recommended for my age and height. It just depends on what you want.

That's true. And one shouldn't focus too much on numbers either, since we're all different and have different needs. If it's enough for you and you feel good, then it probably is good. ^^

Yes that is also correct. When I first bought my bento I didn't understand sizes or mL so I just bought a nice basic bento package. After getting it and seeing how small it was I was worried, but it ended up being enough. I did shrink some in stomach size, so that the bento was enough to keep me going. My eating schedule isn't exactly steady and even though, I go from class to class and sometimes I put off eating for work. But bento has always been good for me.

I remember having a bad habit of putting off dinner at work some days. Ususally because I didn't have a fixed lunchbreak, which would probably have been better, than squeezing in lunch between customers/deliveries. Sometimes I would get hungry early, if there was a slow day. Other days I was busy with work and realized in the late afternoon that I had forgotten my lunchbreak and then I would prefer to skip out on it, rather than having a late break two hours before the end of my workingday.

Yes I know it isn't healthy, but I can't really help it. I do have a two hour lunch break two days a week at noon, but the rest of the week is not happening. I slip snacks in during classes to keep me going, but real lunch isn't going to happen. It's sad, but a reality. I just eat when I'm hungry, or get a change =.='

*hug* In that case a bento is probably the best solution, since you can just grab a bit every now and then, without becoming something unhealthy like candy or such.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes yes! I try to pack bento as healthy as I can. Sweets in bento are also nice because they're usually small, just a bite or two to give you the sugar you crave while not being 280 calories. I also like the idea of lots of small bites because then I get to have lots of textures and tastes. It wakes up the pallet quite a bit. And you can get rid of lots of leftovers that way! Since bento originally was taking leftovers from dinners past.

And you make them with love too. :3 They look very nice and I'd imagine it adds to the saticfaction when enjoying them. :3

Haha >w< I'm usually scrambling to make something for the next day. Most of my bento were made during the summer when I had time to really think about them. Now it's a rush to fill, but they're still tasty ^w^

Haha! Yeah, I can imagine. I've tried out preparing some japanese food and in the beginning it felt like loooots of planning and time to make preparations. xD;

Bento arn't just about japanese foods, bento is about your favorite foods. you can use anything you want in bento.

^w^! Lunch should be enjoyable! Plus I prepare as much as I can the night before and finish it up in the morning

what kind of containers do you use for your bentos??? i' want to try making some ^w^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use flexible plastic silicone containers. You can buy them off of ebay, Jlist, and I beleive etsy as well. They're usually around $5 depending on what you're getting. Make sure you use a ruler to measure out the sizes so you know what you're buying. I've gotten cups that I thought would be larger, but after getting a few different sets they're great for little things.

Don't get excited over the first ones you see also. Check out the different sites because you might find something you like better on another site. Make sure that your decision is informed and you'll be fine

Thank you very much! I do love to cook

i wish i could cook like you !

It's not as hard as you'd think. First cook using recipes, after you get used to the ingredients you're working with you can switch things up, add or subtract things. It just takes practice.
