Bento Box (弁当箱) Diaries

After posting a photo of a bento lunch on Flickr, I became curious about the organization and design of these so "pleasing to the eye" meals. Then serendipitously "How to make Bento" appeared on the Google home page. Gotta love that Google. Who knew that there are formulae for the portions in the Bento Box as well as the proper size based on gender, height and activity level. Japanese traditions are so civilized. I definitely need to work on my portion control anyway and what could be better than making a Bento for lunch everyday. I am currently looking for some bento boxes and found several web sites offering them. More to come.
