Does this ever happen to you: you’re going about the normal morning routine, you look at the clock and realise that you have five minutes before you’re supposed to be out the door. Panic! Was it those extra minutes in the shower? And you still have to make your lunch! Do you settle for some fast-food option? Another gas station sandwich? No! you Bento!

Seriously, this one took me a whopping two minutes to toss together out of stock from my freezer and refridgerator.  This is exactly why I keep some small, simple things on hand and ready. It just makes the whole lunch packing process a whole lot easier. In the top tier are two veggie gyoza, edamame, onigiri, strawberry tomato, and hamster bottle pre-filled with soy sauce. The bottom tier has orange slices, a hard boiled egg, and grapes. Its fast, its healthy, and it tastes a heck of a lot better than two-day old tuna on rye.
