Bento Twinzie Lunch

My youngest sibling is lumping it through her first semester of college life. I made her some bento lunches for the week, to cheer her up and also because she has allergies that are hard to avoid in college cafeteria food. I made myself one, as well.

It's pretty plain looking, of course. Hers were cuter. I enjoy the idea of bento but I don't spend as much time and effort on them as some people do. You should definitely go look at cute bento pictures, though, because they can be soooo adorable! This is four-cheese tortellini (three colors... it bothers me that there are three colors but four cheeses) in the top to be mixed with the vegetables and linguini in a lemon cream sauce. Mmm!

I don't put a lot of time into putting together my lunches. I have to make sure my husband has a nutritious lunch and snack for work, and I don't usually eat much anyway, so that's why my lunch is usually a plain egg! Haha. This is one of my favorite bento boxes. I love the little round shape, and the lace detail is super cute. And, of course, the cats!!!

It was delicious!

Kittens!!!!!!

I am not eating kittens. What is wrong with you?

My mother adopted these two kittens from the rescue shelter. They are soooo adorable!!!! I just want to go over to her house and play with them allllll day!

The eyes...


This is the internet. Everyone loves kittens.

Simple floral

It is getting cooler outside. I love it when it's finally habitable outdoors again. (Which, here, is only about 5 months of the year, October - February.) It settles my spirit to be able to spend time outside.
Since I'm feeling so calm and peaceful, my lunch decoration was simple today.

It makes me feel cheery, but still calm. I cherish calm.

Calmly delicious.

What is that thing??

I have no idea what I was thinking when I started this. I just started doodling. Sometimes you start off with a plan and it goes awry. Sometimes you start off with a plan and it turns out wonderfully. This was not either of those times.

Attack of the ugly egg! I am sometimes shocked at how very very bad things can get in a doodle, haha.

Despite it's appearance, it was still delicious!

Swirly-gig

I have been doodling on a box I'm sending to my collegiate sibling. A "care package" so to speak. And it gave me an idea for this egg.

But it came out a lot... busier than I thought it would. I think it would have looked better with larger swirlys, and more white space left.

But it was still delicious!
