Bento Organization

The big organizer...I found two drawer units and put them together. I store this in my dining room, but can wheel it into the kitchen when needed or into a closet when we have company.

April swap with Jessica


Here are the goodies from a recent swao with Jessica -

I love these containers!! Perfect side cars!!


4/28/08 Monokuro Boo bento




It has been a little while since my last post - I have been way too busy! The pictures of my lunches got taken, but I haven't had time to post them. I may try to back track and get some put on - otherwise maybe I'll stay on top of it from now on!!
So - Today's lunch -
Leftover steak and baby potatoes with a side of pineapple and baby tomatoes. Sauce contianers hold steak sauce and horseradish - there are also some baby corn tips peeking on the side - thought I would try to use them up!
Next tier- mini cookies, strawberries, baby bel, and of course marshmallows - and a little character chocolate.
The next picture is of the pack up, ready to go - added in are my MB fork and new MB oshibori.
