Back to Bentos 3

Last night was a raid the freezer for dinner night. As I was putting the lunchboxes together I was thinking about the fact that the black and white of the noodles and beans would be so much crisper and cleaner if I drained the juice and/or didn't mix them together, but then I realized the bean goo is what makes things taste good (plus it keeps the noodles from drying out). Forget aesthetics, I want bean goo! I also had no clean bento boxes, but had a handy stash of Laptop lunchboxes.

One success of the evening was that I made a fresh batch of pancakes after Senorcito was in bed. The boy and I love our pancakes!
