Power of Bento
I have new purpose in life.
Bento.
I showed Mark this blog, extremely excited, and he said, "Cute." I said, "Don't you want me to pack you bento box lunches for work?" He laughed, and said, "No. I meant cute like for a kid. Not for me." So then I was kind of irritated and decided that I'd prove him wrong. Bento boxes can be for adults, too!
All day yesterday while Mark was on duty, I researched. I Googled till my fingers hurt. And yes, Bento lunches can be for adults. They are less fancy and cutesy, but they are still awesome. Apparently there is even this cool food ratio idea, bento lunches should be 3 parts starch, 2 parts produce and 1 part protein. I went on Amazon.com and grossly expanded my wish list. My most exciting find was this awesome Bento jar. I will make Mark bento lunches and he will love them, damnit. Watch and see.

Those are so cute. I think they are a great idea and Mark will probably end up loving them in the end! You are such a good wife, ahaha. I don't do anything for Corie's lunches.

Oh, believe me, I will be posting pictures, as soon as I am able to start making them! I am dying to go out in town and start shopping for Bento accessories.
