BENTO!!! The Beginning...

So I've been looking at Bento boxes online. I can't remember how that came up in my search, or how I decided to start reading about Bento, and looking at Bento boxes, etc, but I am very intrigued by the variety, and how colourful they are, and healthy. Can't help to notice that most of them are based on sushi rice as the starch. I also saw a few with cold, drained ramen, and sometimes the odd Sandwich Bento. So I have decided to give this a try.
I don't own any "proper" bento boxes, so I've been using plastic and glass containers to pack lunch for the man. I have gone back to "regular meals" lately, but I am very much looking forward to continuing the bento boxes in the future. Here are some examples of some of the ones I made.

First off, we have fried pork, Japanese style, plain Onigiri with little nori hearts :D apple slices, and vegetable tempura :oD

 

Next, we have beef, cucumber and carrot maki roll (he doesn't like raw fish that much), with little ground pork balls, plain Onigiri with toasted sesame seed furikake and fresh strawberries. 

I am so looking forward to experimenting with bento lunches again.
