Happy 2020, everyone! I’m starting off the new decade in a new city with a new job!

Today I’ve revived some of my classic bento staples as a reminder of the early days.

Look what I found at the grocery store: a red banana!

Ever since finding mini-muffins at the store so many lunches ago, I’ve longed for another bento-sized, store-bought dessert.

I’ve been off work for a couple of weeks due to a surgery.

It’s my 100th bento!

I wanted to call this lunch “Party Like It’s 1999”….

Remember those beans I cooked in the Instant Pot way back when?

Have you heard of “ugly produce”?

Remember when “baby carrots” weren’t a thing, and we all just packed carrot sticks in our lunches instead?
