I think perhaps copyright is taken on that one

I'm going to post up some new pictures soon and hopefully do a few tutorials. I know from experience that it's hard to find your feet at first. Took me ages to realise that there are right and wrong ways to place eggs in egg moulds! :rolleyes:

Oh and I'm still learning how to make the tamagoyaki (rolled omelette) haven't mastered that yet

I made a bento box of sorts last night, although it took me ages to do - I have 2 lunchboxes and 2 other containers as I don't have a good bento box yet. I made a Banana loaf last night so in my sweet goody box there is 2 slices of that, some grapes, a plum, some biscuit things. I also have a banana (That wouldn't fit anywhere. For my lunch box I have a box by itself with couscous in, and then in another box I found a container - perfect to fit in a hard boiled egg. I've got peppers, tomatos and sun dried tomatos in there too. for snacks I have popcorn with paprika on, mixed nuts and seeds with dried pineaple. It all seems a bit chaotic to me, though I do love the idea of bento boxes. I will get a proper one, and try it properly, but at least this thread made me actually make my lunch for the first time in ages, and not spend a fortune in the canteen.

Well done ashbash11!!

You don't actually need a "proper" bento box so to speak. A good lock and lock box works just as well. Many people are actually shocked at how small a bento box really is when they see one for the first time.!
