Product of the Day: Veggie Cutters

My daughter starts Kindergarten soon and I can't wait to make her exciting lunches for school. I know Bento has been around for a while but I am now just realizing its awesomeness. I just like its ridiculous cuteness. I didn't realize how many accessories go with bento making. I came across these vegetables molds on this Japanese site. (Those Japanese are so clever with their cuteness?!) If you don't want to go through the trouble of actually growing your vegetables or if you feel weird about manipulating their shape like I do, you might like these vegetable cutters that work like cookie cutters to get all sorts of shapes out of your veggies.

Cuteness for the Day: PANDAMANIA Bento Box

I'm shopping for bentos for the daughter and I. I originally bought one for her while in San Francisco but I accidentally dropped it and broke off the latch. That is why I loved this bento with its cute strap. He looks like he's working out...ack so cute!

I know I want a 2 tiered bento for both of us and I wan't mine to be cute but not overly kiddish. I work with a lady who brings her lunch in a Hello Kitty lunchbox, complete with thermos and such. Don't get me wrong I love HK but I only eat with her utensils. I don't want to advertise the fact that I like HK too much at work; it might cause some concern haha.
