YOU GUYS I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP. This is getting ridiculous.
So, three new boxes (oh, and a new set of short flower picks!):
- The Bento Colors box, in purple, which I have been lusting after for...well, more than a year. More than two years, actually. At last it is mine and I am victorious!
- A Bento Colors Mini, in lime green, because.
- The third is a new line, but it was so ingenious that I just had to have it. It's an origami bento (the "squares" design), the idea being that it folds into a bento box, and obviously can be folded flat for storage. I KNOW RIGHT. It was pretty much a law of gravitational physics that I needed to have that box. It even comes complete with little foldable dividers and baran! So cute! My thought is that it would be especially handy for trips since it's lightweight and can be stored without fuss. And it's not paper/cardboard, it's plastic so it's reusable.

Anyway, this was Thursday's lunch, which I didn't have a chance to post, packed in the Bento Colors purple.
- 4-color raddiatore (tomato, carrot, spinach, regular) tossed with a bit of oil, herbs, and salt
- molded egg, cut in halves
- carrots and sauteed asparagus spears
- Pink Lady apple and kiwi slices, with a small cup of dark chocolate covered raisins to inaugurate the new box properly
;)
Today's is back to an old standby, Ms. Bento, thanks to delicious soup leftovers courtesy of Chef Salvatore:
- broccoli cheese soup
- 4-color raddiatore (see above)
- carrots, steamed asparagus
- a few bits of pepperoni from a stop we made at Dick's Brewing on our trip last week
- cherries
- cinnamon apple sauce
The bento presentation for my coworkers is this Thursday. I finished the Powerpoint presentation over the weekend, which includes two separate photo slideshows, and there will also be a two page handout. Which...okay, that sounds totally dorkalicious when I put it in writing. BUT IT WON'T BE LAME I SWEAR. No really, it'll be cool and awesome. There's even a color-coded cha-
Wait, where are you going...?
