My very first bento!

[pennywhistle]

Yay! I went to the Japanese Market near my dad's apartment in Columbus yesterday to do a little browsing. They didn't have any bento boxes, but they had some good supplies and treats! I got rice molds, food separators, sauce containers (shaped like bears and fishes), sushi grass, and some pretty new chopsticks. I'd bought some mini cookie cutters on ebay, so I finally felt ready to try and make bentos!

At the Japanese Market I also got Hello Kitty rice crackers and TIRAMISU POCKY. Holy crap, that is good pocky.




Spinach salad with carrots, cucumber, and ginger dressing; brown rice and ginger dressing; kalamata olive hummus sandwich; sandwich sushis using the crust; strawberries.

I'm going to make one to take to work tomorrow too ^_^

What is the store in Columbus that you went to? Do you remember the name of it?

I don't remember the exact name, but it's the one next to Akai Hana on old Henderson Rd. ^_^

Damn I was JUST in there. I guess I'll have to look more carefully next time I go.

If you're standing at the entrance to the market's cafe, it's directly behind you and in that little corner. It seems like a bunch of just random stuff, but there's bento goodies hiding there!

Oh my god, bento lunches are so much fun to make! Michael's usually has sets of little cookie cutters; if you wait until they start to go out of their marketing season, you can get a set of six for a dollar.

Oh my gosh this looks/sounds SO GOOD. And kalamata olive hummus? Sounds like HEAVEN.

It's from Trader Joe's. It's DELICIOUS!

We still need to go to the market in Vandalia!

Let's go! And get some Sake while we're up there! ^_~

Sandwich crust sushi?!? OMG that's BRILLIANT! Is it still sushi if you use peanut butter & jelly?
