I have a hard time with lunch. Specifically, packing it.

The problem is that it's difficult to have something delicious that is also easy to transport and doesn't require any additional steps for cooking/preparing. I've been having salads and sandwiches for over two years now and I'm just sort of stuck as to how to vary my routine. Not to mention that salads are sort of time consuming to prepare and difficult to pack especially on bike days.

So, friends, what do you do?

I've been monitoring a number of bento blogs, bento being the japanese style of making lunch boxes. Their cooking methods look interesting as they are delicious and homemade but are designed to be eaten at room temperature. I haven't had the time or courage to try making one yet, but it's an option I'm seriously considering.

So if you have any lunch-time tips or favorite things, share them in the comments! I'd be much obliged.
