I didn't pack bento today.
It's easy when we all have the flu. I am busy holding hair back and running around with Lysol, so I wanted to show you the new items I just bought!
From Left to right:
The cute little fruit containers are actually for spreadable things like cream cheese or peanut butter or hummus (or jam-- you name it--anything that won't spoil). The containers snap shut. I wouldn't put soup in there, but it does fine with semi-solids.
The little containers to the top left are for spices like furikake, salt, or pepper. They are made of a semi-softer plastic, so the tops come off for filling, but stay on well. Then you just twist the top to release flava!
To the top right, those are flip-top bottles for things like sauces. They're like little shampoo bottles! So cute! I don't know if I want to put catsup in there. I'm afraid of tomato products in plastic containers because they tend to stain. I'll bet you could put a sugar-free jelly in them, mustard, dressing. Again, anything that won't spoil.
Oh, and below these items is the new Sailor Moon washcloth I bought!
It can be used and spread out on the table below the bento as a little placemat. My little one adores it. When she saw it she hugged it immediately.
She has such good taste!

I have been trying to join the blog community on the right side of your page, but not having much luck. My web browser isn't loading the page a few forms in. (After I've tried to sign up for Blog Log.)
Any ideas?
That's weird! I don't know why it isn't working. I haven't tried to join a community yet. I'm always afraid I'm going to break something! If you figure it out, please let me know!
I bought my daughter 3 bento boxes because she is a total japanophile (she's 11 now, has been since age 5. Wants to do a year of high school in japan. I keep thinking if I ignore it she'll grow out of it, but noooo!).
And then we went lowcarb. And I don't know what the bleep to put in a bento box that is lowcarb, doesn't need heating, doesn't need refrigerating, and will be edible to an 11 year old who actually thinks taking a lunch is supremely uncool, although she loves hello kitty and bento boxes so I'm sorta hoping maybe I can *make* it cool.
AND lowcarb.
So get to work! I see a few ideas here. I want more! More! More!
Maybe I can dig out what I got and take pictures of it for you. I swear, it took me awhile to find a place that I could order from and then it took me like months to get them!

The second image in this post has disappeared! Someone stole your bento! Inquiring minds want to know what it was.
