I’ve spend MONTHS looking at Bento websites and we’re all decked out with all kinds of bento accessories. But alas, we’ve thus far had no opportunity to make such a lunch. This morning, Justin asked if I would make him a lunch to take to work since he would be busy all day. DING DING DING! What a great opportunity to try my technique in preparation for Monday’s First Day of School. Of course, I knew Justin probably wouldn’t appreciate all the Hello Kitty bento stuff we have so I tried to make a more mature bento…except for one little lion pick in his cheese! I’m very excited about expressing my love for my daughter by giving her a healthy, well-planned lunch everyday (well, we all know that it won’t be well-planned everyday…) Clockwise from top left: Onion bagel with peppered turkey, provolone cheese, basil and mayo, chunk of co-jack cheese, hard boiled egg, watermelon chunks, carrot slices, blackberries and grape tomatoes to fill in the spaces.
