Today’s bento

Up until now, The Boy hasn’t wanted octodogs in his school bentos — even though he frequently asks for them at home on nights when we’re rushing out the door for tae kwon do class. That’s why it surprised me when he asked for them the other night and said he would like the leftovers used in a bento.

Really?

Okay! I’m on it!

I put them on a bed of lettuce to keep them from rolling around too much, but I have no illusions as to whether he’ll eat the lettuce or not. I should’ve popped off the lids of the little cups so you could see the blop of ketchup in one and the two GF “oreos” in the other. There’s also a bag of GF pretzels and some carrots. After I added up the carb count, I realized he could use a little extra, so I tossed in two teeny tiny Snickers “minis.”
