When I was struggling, these are the words that came to me this morning. I didn't realize they're from Isaiah 43:1 until later tonight.

I made this image up today after reading the line in a facebook post my cousin wrote (apparently the idea/line comes from a Christian music song):

 



bento #165

Last bento of this group; the next one will have to wait until I take the time to make more.

- Hello Kitty character onigiri
- tamagoyaki
- ham wrapped around green beans
- pork tonkatsu, with Bull Dog sauce in the orange container
- one dark little cherry
- potato salad (with corn, carrot, and cucumber)

bento #163

Time for some curry!  I was watching Japanese videos on youtube, one of them contained curry, and that led to this bento.  Used up my last square of curry, so time to head to the Asian grocery at some point.

- Hello Kitty rice (isn't it nice that rice is white?  Makes it so convenient to make Hello Kitty!)
- curry with pork, carrots, yellow pepper, and onion
- tamagoyaki
- potato salad
- strawberries

bento #162

Wanted to use up some bologna and try making fried rice.  I've never really made it before, which is surprising!

- sweet potatoes, cooked on the skillet and finished with a little honey
- grape skewer
- baby carrots
- yellow peppers with sesame seeds
- friend rice (with egg) topped with bologna flowers, green onion stems

bento #161

The last of the soboro bentos...I made quite a few of those.

- ground beef, egg, and pea soboro with red pepper accents
In the right tier, a "rainbow" of:
- sweet potatoes, steamed
- pickles
- mushrooms
- red pepper

bento #160

Bento with some leftovers

- a tier of white rice sprinked with sesame seeds
- leftover beef stir-fry
- spinach and corn saute
- grape skewers
- picked ginger
- sweet potato cooked with honey
