Obento woe
Sometimes you have a day where you wake up and realize that today is an "obento day" and you are NOT READY! Meaning, you do not have the requisite 4 colours of food or a good protein source and there`s no fresh rice, just old stuff leftover from the day before. What do you do? You improvise of course and hope that the children don`t show their teacher your sad little obento:
And then there`s the days where you wake up ready for the "obento day" and realize that your FH (Flippin` Husband) had to eat the 5 green beans in the tiny little tupperware container that you had set aside for the next days obento as well as use the last 2 eggs needed for the tamagoyaki for his MIDNIGHT SNACK!
Thankfully these two incidents happened in different weeks and I was saved from 2 bad bentos in a row. Phew. Today`s obento was pretty good but it`s missing one thing. Does anyone know what that one thing is?

akadayo, aka. But I see someone has already guessed it. I almost never bother with the red. Can't afford strawberries usually, and my younger son hates tomatoes. I won't put them in just for the color, though I did consider it a couple of times!!

Hi Christie d.
I wouldn`t want tomatoes myself but both my kids LOVE them and it`s about the easiest (and cheapest) "red" you can find out there!
