So there was leftover sushi rice from dinner, so I decided to make oingiri...however, we were all out of groceries and had nothing even remotely traditional to fill it with...so I compromised a lot.

Top Tier: Almond butter stuffed oingiri with cinnamon sugar instead of furikake (see? as nontraditional as it gets! It was pretty good, but I think it'd do better as a mixed oingiri or with brown rice so it's more flavorful), honey bunches of oats cereal, blueberries

Bottom Tier: Baked savory tofu, edamame.

Quorn cutlet w/ lemon pepper, gouda bear and gouda peices
2 hard-boiled eggs and a few peices of carrot

Mine:

Top tier: Malasa burger with a gouda heart (slightly torn, like my own heart at the moment *tear*) and gouda pieces. Carrot, a boiled egg (I only eat the whites) and baked whole wheat pita chips.
Bottom tier: Almonds and cashews, amaretto milano cookie, banana, and blueberries

This is delayed, but I was a cooking FIEND last Friday:

Breakfast:

Craig reaching for our delicious blueberry-honey-wheat pancakes w/ maple syrup and sliced strawberries. Drink of tea.

I had a small little snack-lunch bento:

Corn, peas, carrots, and sugar snap peas, almond butter and kiwi wrap w/ strawberry hearts.

And this is my masterful vegan steak pie, of course I had to make it cute:

And this is how it looked on my plate:

I also made mashed potatoes and more veggies, and I drank about half of the apricot beer.
