I had a little request from the Bf the other day. I wasn’t going to be home for dinner, but he said he really wanted to have some of my lovely home-cooked food that night for his dinner. As he was so nice about it, and because I had leftovers from the night before, he got a bonus dinner with his lunch bento!!
Firstly, in his lunchtime bento, he had one round of cheese, tomato chutney and salad sandwiches (on mixed grain bread), half a round of marmite sandwiches, a silicon cup of cherry tomatoes and smoked cheese, carrot sticks and mange tout.
Close up! ^^^
To accompany that, he also had: Christmas tree pretzels (I know it’s February!), a protein ball (recipe to follow), a peanut butter shortbread cookie under the protein ball (again, recipe to follow), grapes, satsuma and a pot of mixed nuts and raisins.
To extend the spoiling, the bf had the above for dinner: ramen noodles with stir fry. The stir fry had carrots, sweet potato, courgette, onion and bacon in, and the sauce for it was made with soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame seeds 
There was also fresh fruit for his pudding so healthy I know!
I’m starting to plan my first charaben (kyaraben), but I have no clue what to do for it! Any ideas anyone?
Bento dinner looks neat; your gonna half to do a tutorial someday….
I will bear that in mind! Would you prefer a lunch bento tutorial or one of the regular dinners I do (which I use for bento leftovers too!)?
He is so sweet
Your stir-fry looks yummy!
Thank you! It was! He does ask for dinner to be made for him most of the time though….
When I am at a loss for a theme I use one of the upcoming themes from BBN http://www.bentoblognetwork.com/. The next four themes are politicians, snack time, Dr. Seuss, and Oz.
Thank you! They sound difficult though! I might see if I can duplicate some of the kyaraben on there first.
reading yr blog made me wanna go back to Japan right now.
I enjoy making bento for my hubby but he refused to have a Kyaraben because he doesn’t want his co-worker to see a cute thingy in his bento box.
