Discussion Bento Box Recommendations
This gets brought up frequently, so I thought I'd make a stickyed thread for it. Please post brands or resources you'd recommend to others looking to start prepping bento boxes.
I think Monbento and Bento Haven are good places to start, but what do you think?

Hearty Japanese Bento Box: Homestyle Comfort
Katsuo-bushi nori bento (rice topped with bonito flakes and seaweed)
Tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet)
Horenso no goma-ae (spinach with sesame dressing)
Stir-fried cabbage with salted cabbage
Spice-roasted chicken thigh
I felt a bit uncertain about the color balance today since I didn't have my usual colorful ally - mini tomatoes - to brighten up the presentation.😋

Peguin Lunch
My nephew recently learned that I often make fun lunches for myself and my husband during a visit over the weekend. He gave me a penguin picture he'd made at school. Today for lunch, I made myself a very family inspired lunch. W loves pinapple, while his sister loves strawberries. He also loves cucumbers with hummus. My sister had a favorite dress a child that had penguin pockets with bowties.
