# 17 and # 18

I usually make half the bento the night before leaving only the rice for the morning. My husband likes to leave before 6 AM and I don't get up that early. I took this picture the night before and all he had to due was add the rice in the morning. That's why the rice container has it's lid on, it's empty.

Clockwise:
- Rice
- salad (dressing off picture)
- matchstick carrots, sour cream/blue cheese dip in the pink container, pickles onions, and half a mikan
- 2 sausages, a boiled egg, and okaka for his rice
For D Ma:
- 2 salmon onigiri
- matchstick carrots
- dip in the yellow container
- half a mikan
- boiled egg.

Bento #8

This box is for onigiri. It has a small bottom layer with edamame, mikan, and fruit juice jello. Also a small spoon (the like that comes with ice cream) to eat the jello. On top are two salmon onigiri made with salmon left over from the night before. They are wrapped in plastic that keeps the seaweed away from the rice until it is opened. D Man said that is was great but the fruit juice didn't give the jello much flavor.
