I love all of your bentos, and the muffin tin dinner is a wonderful idea (which I will have to try out!)
Good luck with the contest >:o)
Ryan's sign is so cute! The football lunch is out of this world!! Wow, you're amazing!
Good luck with the bento contest and YAY for Lost!
Love the football bento. I just realized I'm going to get to make a bento for me next week - kind of cool.
Hello fellow bento maker! Thank you for your comment on my blog :o) Coffee Beat is a Japanese candy in the shape of little coffee beans that has a chocolate/coffee flavor. It comes in little tubes (and sometimes you can find individual serving boxes of it). It's my absolute favorite Japanese candy! I enjoyed looking through your blog -- I like your muffin tin dinner!! I saw your post about Ichiban Kan -- if your husband ever winds up in SoCal make sure you send him to Marukai 98 stores -- they are the ultimate!! They also sell most everything for $1.50, and if you hit a few of them (pretty easy to do), you can really stock up!! Mitsuwa groceries also have small "Trends" shops that have fun bentos. Anyway, glad to run into another veggie bento boxer! :o)
Thanks everyone for the comments!
River - Always glad to know another Lost fanatic!
Misty - Dontcha just love bentoing for yourself?!! I think I enjoy it more because it is such a novelty, it almost never happens!
Le Petit Chef - I had mentioned Marukai 98 to my husband when he was driving down to L.A. but he had already spent enough at IK and was pretty busy, so maybe next time I'll make that his destination location instead, thanks for the tip!
