Bento

When I was little, my mom would pack me either of two things to school: lunch or bento. Lunch was the usual - PB&J, lunchables, leftover pizza, hotdogs. But bento was special. It was just leftover from dinner the night before with rice and furikake over it to make it colorful, but it always was a treat. I suppose because bento was something close to what I ate every day. People are usual in shock when I say I rarely had American food growing up, thanks to my dad hating Westernized food. And thank goodness we didn't! We are one fit and healthy family.





I know I can buy something much more fancier at the 7-11 around the corner but this is how I like it the best.. in a kiddy plastic bento box :)
