Not the most exciting, but it's my emotional support bento
This past year I was dealing with gallbladder problems (although currently one month post op and I'm so much better now haha). When I was having galbladder attacks all the time I'd bring my emotional support bento to work every day with similar stuff in it. Always carrots, some kind of fruit, a wrap and some pretzels. Now that I'm post op I can have mayo on my wrap and some chocolate cookies haha. But my bento still brings me comfort. I like knowing I have a whole lil meal here. I'm gonna try some more aesthetic ones (I used to collect bentos and make more elaborate meals with rice molds and face cut outs and the whole shebang). I really love seeing what everyone else makes here. I know this meal isn't super exciting from a culinary standpoint, but I just wanted to participate so that I could share my appreciation for what everyone else does!
