Although I received Mr. Bento in record time last week, today is my first chance to sample his bento goodness. I hope this is enough food to keep me full all day. The variety is nice, though it was hard to choose what to put in the soup bowl as I didn’t have any premade dishes handy and I don’t keep canned soups or packaged foods around the house much. And I wish I made a little more rice than I did.

But it’s my first time, so I will give myself a break. Or something.

I’ll report back tomorrow on the first experience. I wonder if the hot will really stay hot and vice versa.

What? What’s that behind my darling boy? Can it really be? Already?

Yes! Thank you Amazon for your super speedy (and free) delivery! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

(I look tired and totally spent in that photo . . . what can I say? I am!)

I cannot wait for tomorrow morning when I will make my inaugural Mr. Bento lunch. Yipppeeeeee!

(Just wanted to share my excitement!)

Lunch. These days, lunch is a hard meal for me. My corporate cafeteria has struck out again and again for me, and the salad bar is not only overpriced, but uninspired. So, that leaves me needing to bring lunch – which I forget to do some days, though I am getting better. It’s hard to find the time, the inspiration and the joy in packing your own lunch though.

Today’s lunch? A tomato, fresh mozzarella and pesto sandwich; blueberries and strawberries; a 100 Calorie Pack of Cheetos; and an organic cinnamon apple sauce. And lots of water.


I am hoping that Mr. Bento will change lunch for me – making it better, healthier and yummier. One can only hope. Who is Mr. Bento? He’s my new lunch contraption – four tiered, keeping hot hot and cold cold. It’s all the rage and after hearing so many good things about it, I had to try it too.

My confirmation of shipping came yesterday so I am hoping to be using my Mr. Bento very, very soon for some delicious, inspired lunches that will both keep me full and satisfied.

What others are doing with their Mr. Bento‘s:
