I have been thinking for a while about doing more posts about food. The food in Japan rules–it is one of the best things about being here. I want to do more posts about food that I buy when I eat out, as well as food I make at home. I have taken some pictures, so I will be sharing them from time to time in the future.
Right now, I am entering one of the busiest times of the year for me, and my computer also is out of commission, so the frequency of my posts might not be as much as I would like, but I will try to at least put up some photos.
Here is a photo I took at my high school on Thursday. This is a bento (弁当）which is a Japanese style set lunch box. This is actually a very simple and cheap one from my high school. Convenience stores, like 7-11 have good ones, and you can also buy them from stations and even on long-distance trains. You can get much better ones than this, of course. But even though this was was simple, it was good.

Looks like a better lunch than what I get

Well, that is a bit sad, coming from a cook/photographer!
Why don’t you use one of your recipes and make a better lunch? haha

Our friends Stew and Steve wouldn’t have been satisfied with such measly portions..at least not without a few other stops to stave off their (hunger?) pains…
