In the year 2008, the X-Men move from New York to San Francisco to make a new life for themselves.  It is their chance to start over and maybe find a place to further Xavier's dream without everyone knowing where they live or who they are in their 'normal' lives.  Things to not go completely as planned as San Francisco already has a force to be reckoned with lurking in its shadows.

The Western Branch of the Hellfire Club has existed in San Francisco for many years and has built up its powerbase there quite well.  When the X-Men come to town and the mayor embraces them a little too completely, the Hellfire Club decides to do anything they can to ensure the X-Men do not stay in 'their' city

xmen_purgatory is a brand new, AU X-Men roleplay that will open for business on October 17th or when we have ten characters.  :)  I'm DC or Dave and can't wait to get started roleplaying.  Good luck!  I hope to see you applying and  roleplaying soon!.

Hello! I have a lot of fun looking at this community, and like many others this is my first post. I bought this container (along with a salad and a shake container) at Target during the summer...and am just now bringing it out. Fairly simple, but I hope to have more fun with my lunches eventually.


My lunch for tomorrow!

( Bigger pictures under here )

What kinda neat pâté recipes do you guys have? I purchased a king size box of Melba Toast and raspberry jam just ain't cuttin it..

Does anyone have a beef stew recipe that doesn't need to be made in a crock pot? I have a giant wok to cook stew/soup in, but no crock pot. Thanks.

Any suggestions for a girl with a small kitchen and not a lot of time to make lunch or dinner on most occasions?  My diet has been so terrible as of late and I would really like to get my nutrition on in a rather easy manner.

Also, my freezer is super small and a little crazy (freezer burns most everything over night... I can't find the stupid dial =/) so making an abundance of anything and then freezing it is sadly out of the question.  :(

Thanks a lot in advance, I look forward to eating some quick and nutritious yum yums soon!

This bento was made with the other two (which was inspired by sarakate!). It was last night's dinner.

Weird thing is: this bento tasted like McDonalds. o.o It was really good, but very strange. XD

I posted a review of a concert months ago. It turns out someone named Lyudmila Chudinova copied my review and posted it under her own name here.

The review was originally published here and here.

Hi! I'm new to the Bento stuff, I've been a member for a couple of months and haven't posted any of mine. Mostly, I use the large lock and lock boxes I got at Wal*Mat, but what I really want is a cute bento box but I have a couple of problems. Mostly, I've seen the little ones and it doesn't seem like they would hold enough food. Is there a larger size bento? Also, I have no idea where to get them... there are a few websites I've seen, but I can't tell how large the boxes are.

Also, I need one for my husband of the same size, but that isn't cutesy, y'know?

Top tier: mystery onigiri, edamame, mashed cauliflower, red and yellow bell pepper, liver underneath

Bottom tier: peanut butter and honey sandwich, fruit leather, dried cranberries

Hey, I've been making some bento lunch sets to sell and I thought you guys might be interested. I'll be adding more in the next few days.


These are more stylish than childish. I know some people want a cute lunch, but want something more grown-up looking. I have some more cutesy ones that I'll upload in the next couple days.

WOW! They both sold in about an hour!
( If you wanted to see, here are pictures of them. I'll have more for sale tomorrow, but they'll be pink or green. )

Sure, I could have been doing some homework but I have a long weekend and I thought I could best use my time browsing for new (or not yet posted) photos of Bianca, Kimberly, Lisa, and Mila from Cycle 9.

My boyfriend purchased me a bento set from ebay. It is Stitch themed.

Here are some photos.

No idea why, but the camera refused making a sharp picture of this bento, which I made before going to work. As usually, whenever I eat (as I am supposed to) before work, we get some food on the location. ..But it was till good to have this small box to munch on during the ride home. ^^


Nori-wrapped plain rice onigiri, coffee-filled chocolate, Babybell cheese, steamed broccoli and carrots & various cured fish
After taking this picture and closing the box, I decided that I want to fill it more, so that everything inside will sit more tightly, and added two radishes ^_^

Here's a little tip:

I've always loved ramekins (the little ceramic containers that you get sauce n stuff in at restaurants, for example), even before I knew about bentos. And I've found that they can really come in handy when trying to put together a nice lunch.

Well, shame shame shame on me, but lots of times, I would just take them from restaurants. Eventually, I asked a server, because I was afraid I was getting them in trouble or something. He said not to worry about it - that half the time they just throw them away anyways!

So I'm not necessarily suggesting that you start stealing... But if you go to a restaurant, and you like the thing that your condiment is served in, if you ask, your server might have no problem with you taking it home with you! Hope that's helpful :)

ugh- i have to work tonight... im not happy.
but i think my bento looks nice (except for the messy onigiri)



top: plain rice onigiri, spicy curry, and a hot pepper from the garden
bottom: carrot sticks, blueberries, cherry tomato, and a leftover crab rangoon from last night's dinner.
little container holds some home-made spicy ranch dressing.
