Feisty Bento #200: Happy 200th!

Happy 200 bentos to me!

Top tier: sirloin steak; "confetti" around it is marinated cucumbers and tomatoes
Bottom tier: kickin' chicken; baby carrots; roasted pine nut hummus; cucumber sticks

By popular request, kickin' chicken!  I got the 3rd comment after I'd already packed this and left the house, so unfortunately, I couldn't incorporate that into my bento.  Sorry!  There are a LOT of things I've never put in my bento... let's say... frog?  Hehe... before Tuesday, I'd never put sweet Italian sausage in my bento!  So, I don't know :)

Honestly, I bought chicken thighs the other day, unsure of what I'd make with them, but I am happy to report that my tummy is happy with the choice of kickin' chicken!  Also: I am an idiot.  I bought a package of chicken thighs that looked skinless (and my mind assumed they were therefore, also boneless).  $1.89/lb.  I opened it up and it turns out the skin was pulled back and tucked under!  The sticker didn't actually SAY boneless/skinless, so I guess they're not lying per se, but totally deceiving!  There was bone, too!  (I don't mind bone-in chicken, or skin-on.  But for my lazy ways, it's so much easier to deal with kickin' chicken - the pulling-apart step - with boneless/skinless chicken.  I just wound up taking the skin off after this was cooked... and popping it into my mouth anyway =X baddd Yvo.) 

I can't believe I'm up to 200 though.  It took me about 6 months to get to 100, and I guess just a little over 6 months again to get to 200.  Ahhh, how time flies when you're eating well!  

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!  Don't forget to enter my contest if you haven't already! 

On a personal note, happy five year anniversary to my sweetness!

HAPPY BENTO, EVERYONE!!!

PS This bento also was totally awesome because it took me all of 5 minutes to pack.  :)

  3. Yay 200! I think Kickin' Chicken was totally the right choice :( And that whole chicken fake out would totally piss me off and I'd probably refuse to go back to that store for at least like a month. Cause I'm bad ass like that.

  5. How evil of them to deceive!!! Grr!

    It'd be funny to see a pair of frog legs hanging off the side of your bento. ;)
