Holiday Obento (for dinner) and Challah

During the last holiday weekend, I found a few containers of leftovers in the refrigerator. A little bit of this and that - so difficult to serve as dinner. Well, I decided to use my "Makunouchi Bento Box" to serve the leftovers. Here they are! After our holiday lunch (with burgers), it was perfect dinner.
