Last week, my father celebrated his birthday.  (Happy Birthday again Dad!)  This past weekend, my mom invited us all over for grilled steaks.  The steaks were gargantuan, and I couldn’t finish mine.  I brought the leftovers home for my bento today.

Today’s bento includes:

Left: Sliced grilled smoked sausage and cut-up chunks of steak, black beans and corn, and steamed sweet potato.
Right: Skewers of blueberries and oranges (aren’t they pretty?), and carrot sticks.

Before I close today’s post, I want to give everyone a bit of forewarning.  In 12 days or thereabouts, I’m going to hit bento number 200.  WHEEEE!  To celebrate the event, there will be a small giveaway.  I recently made an order from Ichiban Kan with a few people I know.  When I ordered, I thought of everyone here and figured a giveaway was in order soon.  In fact, I’m probably going to roll over to 20,000 hits as well (which is way off since I had my counter inadvertently turned off for about a month or so), but anyhow….  A celebration is in order, don’t you think?

Be the bento everyone!  Hope you survive your various Monday start to the week.
