Bento, I love you won't you tell me your name...

So I got the bento I won from ebay yesterday! WOOT! It's so cute! (or should I say, kawaii?)

I even got two molds with it. Isn't it awesome?



I've also got some links from craftster.org for bento related items. There is a swap going on right now that I missed. Next bento swap, though, I'm totally in.

Links a-plenty!

So this weekend I'll be spending time practicing my bento skills. I'll learn how to do sticky rice so I can make futomaki, sushi, etc. I'll get some dividers for the box itself, and some small-ish containers so my food isn't all running together. Hopefully, Monday will be my first day of bento-lunch heaven. *grin*

And to add flavor to my rice, I'll need some furikake (rice seasoning), so it looks like this is the perfect weekend for a trip to the Asian market. Sweet!
