Left: mini-veggie eggrolls, onigiri-shaped hard-boiled egg, strawberries Right: yakisoba with carrots and zucchini Hello, everyone -- it's been a long, long time. Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to write and check in on me. I'm ok, still alive and kicking. Just a heck of a whole lot has been going on since I posted my last bento back at the end of February. There is way too much to post here, but basically, bento lunches have been on a bit of a hiatus because: * I had to travel quite a bit for both work and for fun. In fact, the hubs and I recently got back from a trip to Japan (bento galore!) and Hawaii. Lots of inspiration for future bento. :-) * I had a sudden and unexpected change of jobs. There are more restrictions at the new place, so I can't post new entries while at work. To make things worse, I get home pretty late, so I don't have much time to do entries and post before bedtime. * My site went haywire for a long time and didn't allow me to access it for updates....

If you’re dieting, you might want to choose a smaller box, but these are the general Japanese guidelines for packing dense food (i.e. rice or pasta, veggies and a protein). Bulky foods like sandwiches or salads would require larger boxes than the chart above. See less

Imported * The term “tiffin” is used in parts of Britain and India to mean a light meal or snack. In some areas, the word specifically refers to lunches brought to work or school. A common approach in India is to put rice in one tiffin box, dal in another, breads or naan in a third and so on. A smart solution for storing and carrying different food types, both dry and wet, the Tiffin Lunch Box Set is a convenient tool you’ll turn to again and again. The set includes three stacks of stainless steel containers that lock together for easy carrying. The large set has three plates and four containers; the medium set has two plates and three containers; and the small set has one plate and two containers. See less

We’ve been packing more lunches around here and I wanted something that wasn’t disposable for our sandwiches and even our dry snacks. I had seen this Wrap-N-Mat but wasn’t happy with the fabric choices and knew I could sew my own. So I did and I dig it. This is it all wrapped up. To use it you place your sandwich in the center and fold in the sides. And then fold up the bottom. And then fold down the top and secure with a velcro tab. Then when it’s open it doubles as a placemat. It is shaped like an octagon so to make it I first made a paper template for a pattern. Then cut out the hexagon from a vinyl coated fabric (I got mine from Reprodepot) and then out of a cotton fabric for the exterior. For the velcro closure, sew on the bottom middle portion the hook side of the velcro and then slip in the loop side of the velcro into the top middle. You should put about 2 inches inside the layers so the flat side is against the outside cotton fabric. This ensures it will flip correctly when... See less

Its sturdy handle and light weight make this item convenient and easy to carry. Take it with you to the office, to school, while camping or picnicking . . . why not bring it into your favorite take-out place and get it to-go in your To-Go Ware, rather than in a disposable container?

A bento box is a compact container designed to hold a single serving of rice and several side dishes. In ancient times, lunches were wrapped using such materials as oak leaf, magnolia leaf, bamboo leaf, and bamboo sheath. Later, wooden boxes came into use. In some regions, fancy bento boxes with lids were made by interweaving thin strips of bamboo or willow, or by bending strips of wood into shape. These bento boxes are still produced and sold today as traditional handicrafts. During the Edo period, prosperous merchants packed lavish assortments of their favorite foods into fancy tiered boxes to enhance the pleasure of flower viewing or theater going. From this time forth, bento served on special occasions - such as during celebrations in the home, at Buddhist memorial services, and for entertaining guests - evolved into a unique, sophisticated art form.
