Hello! Bento Wiz

Aug 24, 2025

My wife never says no. Further, she has an inability to stop caring about her performance, and especially, she cannot walk by any person in need without helping, and helping completely. Some people cannot shut off their caring…

Work always eats the good ones. Meaningless buzzwords. Silos. Clumsy tech. Weak bosses. More work, less help, no time. The organization takes more than it gives. Upper management makes more hurdles than it removes. Systems made for lawyers, not people.

Does this resonate with your life?

A few months ago, I started making my wife a bento box lunch. I was trying to solve a few problems. She would forget to eat or eat badly during her long shifts. She needed wins and stability; a simple and honest act that she could count on. She needed nutrition and energy that she could use all day. Easy and quick bites to be taken in installments when she had a second to breathe. And something pretty to make her coworkers jealous.

I want to give you the same thing I am trying to provide my beloved: food made with love, time they can’t steal, and truth you may depend on.

Monday-Friday 8am: 1 bento, 1 verse, 1 quote, 1 artwork.

Come along…bring some other folks too! (It’s free)

Bread

”And be not conformed to this world; but be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect will of God.”
-Romans 12:2 Douay-Rheims
(English from the Vulgate)

Meat

“It is not just the great meals we remember. What we remember are the little things, like the soup that got us through a hard time, or the scrambled eggs that were all someone could manage when we needed to be fed, or the bread someone baked when life seemed too hard to bear. That is what cooking is: it is a way to say you care, a way to make the world less difficult for at least one moment.”
-Laurie Colwin, Home Cooking (1988)
