Hi all!
So recently I looked
at what I have been doing for lunch when I'm at uni and realised I was spending
a lot of money on food. I bought lunch with my friends, we went out to
Melbourne Central for lunch, if I felt like a coffee...I would buy one and so
on.
There was also the
issue of time. In the morning I'm struggling to get up , have a shower and get
dressed and out the door without worrying if there's something for me to eat at
lunch time. Plus I did my time, I ate sandwiches for my 13 years of schooling
so if I end up with a sandwich in my handbag there is a 100% chance that I am
not going to eat it.
So there's the
problem, what's my solution? A Tumblr teacher blogger came to my rescue . While
scrolling mindlessly, I saw a post about a bento box and how this teacher was
using this. Consider my mind blown.
The physical box is
a sectioned lunchbox that can be seen in many different shapes and sizes and in
the end, I ended up buying the Bentgo.
And it has changed
my lunchtime for good.
I use the top
sections for my snack type foods like
pretzels, popcorn, cut vegetables, fruit and crackers . The bottom usually
holds my 'main meal', so maybe tuna and rice,
noodles ad stir fry or rice paper rolls. The colour of the box, a lovely
purple, really stands out in my bag….plus it's pretty.
One of my favourite
parts of this box is the built in cutlery. I will never leave my
fork/knife/spoon at home again. The food areas are microwavable for up to three minutes and another plus is that the
box is dishwasher safe. No more hand-washing!
I had to buy the box
online, since the box has only been available since March this year and only
available in the US. I bought mine from LunchBoxes.com since most other online
stores were out of stock of the purple.
It did take awhile
to come, close to 5 weeks, which has been the only problem I have had with my
experience with the box so far.
If you are
interested, here are some links for purchasing the box:
Leave me a nice
note!
