I love how this one came out. I had to use all disposable items for her lunch. I’m just hoping it makes it to lunch time without being messed up. I did babybel cheese, cucumber, chocolate pudding with crushed Oreos, a white chocolate dinosaur, grapes, mango, Annie’s gummies, turkey and cheese sandwich, and pringles puffs.

Only 3 more bento boxes left before the school year ends. I’m getting emotional. This was my son’s very first school year ever. No daycare, no pre-K, just straight into kindergarten, and he was so ready. He turned 5 on his first day and is already reading at a 2nd grade level. His teachers say he’s the most well-mannered in class. Anak, I’m so proud of you. I’ll never get tired of making your favorite lunches. 😍

I think my wife noticed I look at this place a lot...

My wife usually packs me sandwiches for work, due one too many incidents of me forgetting to make lunch and living off candy bars for the day. Nothing fancy, just the same bread with cold cuts I make myself if remember when left to my own devices. (I swear I eat like a normal person and cook for myself for non-office meals.) Yesterday, the store was closed by the time we realized we still needed groceries. So she said she'd just pack me some bits and pieces from the fridge and freezer.

She's occasionally, politely inquired about bento, and looked over my shoulder if I ooh'ed appreciatively at something on here. Jokingly asked if I wanted that every day. (I'm not the only woman with limited energy in the house.)

This is my lunch for today. Potato mash with spinach and bacon bits, spicy chicken nuggets and a kiku apple for a snack. With the little rainbow göffel I bought because it was hella cute.

I don't care if this is a little joke, I don't deserve her and I love her so very very much.

I am having a lunch with my coworker. Apparently she's active in this sub so I wanna say hi if she saw this!

Due to our workplace regulation, we cannot eat in the classroom anymore.

We sometimes exchange food and side dishes, too. Mine is not as fancy as hers.
