Ok, so I'm feeling like the lunches are dull. Not so much the content, but in the presentation. I happened upon (yes, can you tell I'm currently reading a Charlotte Bronte novel?) a similar website where the meals were like works of art. Buns shaped like bunnies with current eyes and sandwiches with animal faces carved into the bread. Every piece of raw vegetable cut into a flower shape, every hard-boiled egg topped with a some sort of design or shaped like a favorite animal. Where do people find the time on a daily basis? As creative as I am, or like to think I am, how in the world could I pull this off? Also, how much food is wasted in making cute decorations, I wonder?
So here's what I'm going to try: Since I don't work on Sundays, I'll attempt, at least for the next few weeks, to make Monday's lunch a little more fun. If you have any ideas, send them my way!
Until then, here's what E got today!
• hummos on whole grain
• raw carrots and yellow beans
• apple slices (dunked in lemon juice first so that they wouldn't brown)
• cannellini beans
• yogurt-covered pretzels
• water
• morning snack: soymilk, fresh pineapple, raisins

Dollface - apparently "Hello Kitty" bento boxes are huge in Japan. Probably not a surprise? Anyway, Google image search it and it's amazing how many come up. Here's a page from a site showing tools you can buy to make them -

We just like to link up for the inspiration. I have yet to master the eggs or cute cutouts either.
Thanks Dan. We have a small hello kitty bento that is snack-sized and very cute. We also have a hello kitty popcorn machine that I love, but I guess that's for another blog... :-)
Kris, I just checked out your blog! It's great, even without the cute cutouts, etc. etc.! I like that you leave recipes -- something I hope to do more of as I go along. I also have to figure out how to add all of those buttons -- the facebook link, etc.
