Saturday bentos

This is my mom's bento (If you've ever read my blog you've probably already realized that this bento box looks familiar...). Today is twin bento day (a.k.a. I was too lazy to make to different bentos ☺). Recently I have mastered the art of making a perfect omelet in a cast iron skillet! It's more difficult then it sounds! Once one of my friends was trying to make an omelet at my house... It was more of a scrambled egg type of deal, it was still pretty good though (she later on tried to get me to buy a non-stick skillet)...Good times!

Both of these bentos have a salad which consists of: Garbanzo beans, Julienned (a horrible attempt at julienning, if I do say so myself) carrots, water chestnuts and lettuce. My mom's bento also has steamed broccoli.

This is Dad's bento. (Kore wa Chichi no bentou desu.)

Valentines day?

Why is it that Valentines Day either makes people happy or somewhat depressed? It's all that social pressure and commercials making you feal bad if you don't have a date on February the 14Th. GOSH! What a blubs! But, of course I fall for this huge corporate act. Now I feal bad I don't have a date for Valentine's. Mmm, FUN (not really)! It's probably better that way anyways, that way I can focus more on classes rather than trying to figure out what to get someone...
