Road Food Bento!



Road Trip Today! So no lunch bento but instead: snack bento filled with delights designed to make the distance between home and Madison one long munch.

When I hit the highway I revert to age 4: Are we there yet? I have to go to the bathroom! What is there to eat?

At least the last one is now taken care of. Jan and I each have a snacky bento to take on the road to Second Son's CD launch concert. His band is called Lords of the Trident and they've been working for 3 1/2 years on the songs that make up this CD. So Jan and I have to try to stay awake & functional in a Madison bar until 1 a.m. Red Bull you are my sweetheart tonite.

We have two identical bentos with:

Top tier: Peanut butter crackers (may we not die), home-made chocolate-dippped chocolate grahams, sugar snap peas, caramel apple pop, chocolate gold coin.

Bottom bunk: carrots, cherry tomatos and Babybel cheese, M&M's and a Jolly jelly.

I'm hungry! He's looking at me!! Quit it! MOM!! (getting into the mood here)

  5. Perfect road food! Your style is the best. Sister is heading over to Japan, so maybe I'll order a few boxes for my passion of snacking through the desert.
