Box of delights.

I've found a bit of a new passion for Japanese "bento" lunches. It's great - you can fit lots of tasty morsels into your bento box, and more often than not I pack up the left-overs from our dinner, and we take them to work the next day.

You can make all sorts of beautiful and/or cute designs: like this one
and this one
and this one
and this one.

Then there are all sorts of little accessories you can buy, so that you can put a tiny bottle of sauce in the box without it running all over, and so on:
this and this and this and this and this and this and this.......

Tomorrow, my bento lunch will be: left-over risotto (courgette and pumpkin), topped with a sliced tomato and some toasted sesame seeds, and for pudding there are chunks of heavenly Thai mango.........as seen in the photo.

I'm already looking forward to lunchtime!

But just look at these freakish offerings that someone has taken to work/school with them! I think I would scream if one of these popped out at me.
