Diet bento

New year, new resolutions, new diet!
Strawberries with sweet milk powder, homemade wholemeal bread, salad.

I got this box yesterday, it's something like 460ml and should be good for low fat lunches. 

I've also started back at swimming, I hadn't realised how much I missed it. I stopped going during late summer, when it was mega busy - so busy you couldn't even swim a length.  When it's busy here they make everyone get out of the pool once an hour, for a 15 minute 'rest', mainly to make sure there are no dead bodies floating that they have missed. A situation that could easily be solved by limiting the number of people who can enter the pool, or giving everyone different coloured bands and an allocated slot like they do at home. But that would be far too sensible. 

It would also be nice if they could get a flitration system for the pool, instead of closing it one day a week so they can drain and refill it, and having to swim in amongst bits of peoples dead skin!!!! 

Anyway, enough ranting.

I like how the little legs open out while they cook. They taste much better cold though.

These sausages are pre cut into octopi. They even have little eye holes already, the ultimate timesaver! I bought them because a) I'm lazy, and b) they were on special offer for only 100 yen.

Coming soon...

...homemade bentos galore. Until then, here's an ekiben, a bento for train journeys. I bought this for the shinkansen (bullet train) leg of my journey from Tokyo - Kanazawa during the Spring break.
