hanks to Lunch in a Box, I've become completely obsessed with the bento lunch now that I'm packing for M. while he's student-teaching. For my first attempt, I followed some recipes and tips on the site to make some yaki onigiri (grilled rice balls), which I packed up with a hard-boiled egg (complete with salt and pepper packet), butternut squash, japanese snack cracker mix, and gummy alphabet letters. It was fun putting it all together, but my aesthetic still needs some work I think.
