Best. LJ. Evar. mmmbento

If you didn't know previously, I have an obsession with bento boxes, and just spent way too long poring over her site. Maybe unleashing my so-far-held-in-check rampaging obsession with bento will get me bringing my lunch to work far more often. :D

hehe, I watch mmmbento, too! It totally is the best LJ ever.

I found it completely accidentally: I was going trhough frindsfriends and found a post to some community about questions, where the poster asked about bento, and one of the replies pointed them to mmmbento. Wheee!

And OMG bento boxes! More things I really shouldn't be spending money on! I've got three, but they're all fairly small .... obviously, the correct solution is to buy more.

Mwah! You both made my day. ;)

XD You're welcome! I have slightly more money in my bank account at the moment than I expected to have this near the end of the moneth ... maybe this is a sign that I need a spiffy bento box...

I've got a big one that I've never actually used.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I've used my small ones, but they're really just not quite big enough for a proper lunch.

Ooooooooh. Bento! Mmmm. I've put off buying actual bento boxes, but I miss eating Japanese food. I used to have miso soup for breakfast when I lived in the PNW; not as weird as it sounds. Okay, it is, but it's highly addictive, too. I think I will cave and get some super cute boxes. And those little vegetable cutters! Me want. A lot.

If you go to her website, you find a tutorial on how to make a hard-boiled egg into a little chick staring up at you as you open the box right before you ruthlessly decapitate and eat it.

It seems over the last week everyone has gone bento mad! It's like the world is trying to tell me something, but I can't imagine what...

[telophase.livejournal.com]

YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED.

[wyrdness.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it's only a matter of time. :) Usually I don't care much about preperation and presentation of meals, though I think I would try my hand at some bento ideas just to make people jealous that my lunch looks better than theirs *is shallow* XD

Ooo, that is really inspiring! I'm usually not much for spending that much time and effort making food, but... hmm.

*adds journal to f-list, spends hours investigating site*

I can spend all day cooking something I eat in ten minutes (although I then don't step into teh kitchen to do anything more than nuke a potato for the next two weeks), I just don't do it all the time.

But I really do need to save money on food, and forcing myself to spend a bit of time making lunches that I might actually want to eat once I get to work should help.

[tammylee.livejournal.com]

Aiiiee! The cute food overwhelms me!
Dude, I so want to make those little lunches. =(
Very inspiring pictures!

Aaaaaand, she's just started cooking for celiac disease, since her husband has been diagnosed with potentially having it, so if worse comes to worst for you... :D

[tammylee.livejournal.com]

I noticed that!
=D
There was a very helpful document linked from her site on diagnosing celiac disease for professionals? *sends to her doctor* I may just go GF for a while and do my own test to see if it helps.

[mmmbento.livejournal.com]

This really is the best route. Some celiacs never test positive, but react well to the diet. You should try it and see. I think my hubs is not a celiac, but has candida problems. As a result, he has to eat GF for a while anyway. Eventually we will reintroduce old foods, but we'll always be highly aware of gluten! Good luck!

Bento! *^^* We bought bento boxes while we were in Toronto in May, although we haven't started using them properly (for lo, we suck).

. . . suddenly I want a bento icon, even though it would have to live on my other journal. ^^

What a neat website (and LJ) *^^* Thanks so much for the link.
