In my Mr. Bento

(Not my lunch.)


Does anyone else have a Mr. Bento? I love mine; it's a fun and functional way to bring my lunch to work, and it encourages me to fill it with healthy foods instead of the junk I throw into a paper sack (hangover from my schoolkid days). I just pulled it out again and have decided to use it this week as much as I can (not tomorrow because I will be traveling to another facility).

There are Flickr pools of super-creative lunches, and I am sure if I dug around I could find groups of blogs and sites for it (bento lunches inspires as much passion as daily outfit blogging does). Mine is simpler and not even worth of pictures. Yet. )

Today I have:
-blackberry nonfat yogurt with cut-up fresh fruit
-homemade lentil soup
-navel orange sections
-two cubes of Wisconsin-made cheddar-horseradish cheese (from my cheese share of the CSA)
-whole-wheat Ritz crackers (for the soup and the cheese)

In fairness, this food will tide me over all day, not just for lunch. I'm looking forward to it!
