Well after looking at the link that Sid posted, i was thoroughly impressed with the bento boxes i found online. These are a great way to take a packed lunch containing many different items thanks to the seperate compartments.......i have ordered 4, one for each of us, even the kids were hopping up and down with the excitement of picking the design they wanted. A tad pricey shipping them over from Japan, but the investment will be worth it, as hopefully they'll last a good while.

Aesthetically pleasing, while compartmentalized and sized for healthy eating... what's not to love?   Grin

Just for fun...

I have 3 bento boxes, I keep getting 2 tier ones even though I want a 1 tier. The 2 tiers are just too cute to pass up, so I give in..  Lips sealed 

I cannot wait to start making them for my children, I love making them (even if mine arent as elaborate and pretty as what I see online).  I found this awesome site called Justbento.com about a year ago, the author of the site has written books about bentoing and has a detailed blog on how to keep certian foods fresh all day in a bento box and also about her struggle with her weight and how bentoing helped her lose weight and maintain a healthy diet. awesome inspiration!

I am so happy that people on this site know about bento! I love ya'll even more now!  Kiss

Tony- what an adorable video!! I'm a bit of an anime nerd so I was flipping out whenever I saw a character fron an anime I watch in it  Tongue  I'm such a goober.
