"it's almost the weekend" bento boxes

grapes | apple slices w/ cookie butter | string cheese | dried cranberries | pork bao [siopao]
This lovely LA Times article reminded me that not all school lunch has to be "American" (but really, what is that anyway?).  Realized I had some frozen siopao (pronounced: "show-pow," this is the Filipino version of the Chinese steamed bao bun and is hands down one of my favorite foods in the world to eat) in the freezer, hollered over to Sporty who was in her room, "Hey, would you eat siopao if I put one in your lunch?"  She said yes, so in the bento it went along with the usual suspects.  Extra bonus of the day?  A dollop of that infamous, but oh so addictive/bad-for-you/delectable Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter.


pb&j on hawaiian rolls | mini carrot strips | dried cranberries | string cheese | veggie sticks | chocolate chips | apple slices
The one above is more of our usual, everyday fair....  PB&J with some other treaties.  Isn't everything better on Hawaiian bread?
And just for fun, Sporty in disguise as I have no idea what.  Someone from Adventure Time I think?
