This was my one prime day to make a bento box for work, since I worked 8-4 and really needed nourishment in the middle for which I both had time to make lunch before work and did not have time during work to go out and spend money.... I ended up making a fresh tomato-basil salad from tomatoes I had bought at the farmers' market the previous afternoon as a starter in the top compartment. Underneath this excellence was some freshly steamed brown rice (thank goodness for the keep warm feature of my Zoji) and a mixture of steamed broccoli from the microwave and chicken meat that would be used in the soup that night that my previous post covers. This was an exciting meal because it was made for me by me to be eaten during my hectic work schedule. It seemed as though my concerns about cooking for myself occasionally in college were to be zapped. This all went together so easily and swiftly that any future shifts covering my lunchtime so completely will be accompanied with my downing a deliciously homemade bento. I love my blue "wave" bento box I got last year from jbox.com.
