Pre-lunch Posting!

I always feel like I get more accomplished in a day when I make myself a good well-rounded lunch.  It must be a self-fulfulling prophecy since it is the night before and my bento is still sitting in the fridge waiting to be eaten in 12 hours!  Making bento lunches gives my hectic life a bit of routine, and I'm finally trying to get back into it here in Sweden.  Even if I'm making just one bento a week.  So, here we go!

In this lovely lunch we have some green grapes
and half an orange in the bottom tier.  Nothing too fancy.  In the top tier I made some noodle-y thing using some instant buckwheat noodles, carrots, spinach, and a can of stir-fry veggies, tossed in with some teriyaki sauce.  A halved boiled egg tops off the mix.  

I have to admit, it wasn't the best tasting concoction in the world (I made it for lunch today), but sometimes you are doomed to eat what you cook.  I'd like to think that my culinary skills are improving, but then I am humbled by making a dish that just isn't quite right.  At least I managed to make myself a delicious dinner.
