Bento

The last week or so I've been lusting after the bento porn posted on the LJ community [info]bentolunch .  Because of high blood pressure, I've just committed to losing another ten pounds over the next few months, so bento seems like a natural fit for me:  healthy, cheap, aesthetically pleasing.  I don't see myself making Hello Kitty faces out of egg whites (for one thing, I hate eggs), but I do think I can put together baby carrots, grapes, cherry tomatoes & etc in a way that appeals to me visually.  I've just ordered a bento box and some rice molds from Amazon.com.  Stay tuned for more on this exciting new hobby...

my fave bento is full of raw spinach, red peppers on top, then slices of zucchini. at lunch put a tiny bit of water in the bottom and heat for 2 mins to steam the veg perfectly. add slices of sweet italian sausage and it is perfect!
