Not pictured: Apple butter, pepper jelly, hot pepper jelly, lots of hot sauce, all of the cake mixes and icing that are in the mail because they were too heavy for my luggage, almond butter (OH THE TRAVAILS), delicoius Trader Joe’s spicy sweet mustard, cornmeal, and more stuff that will be mailed DAMN YOU LUGGAGE LIMITS.
Also not pictured: 7 lbs gained in 3 weeks. Yikes!
So jealous that you have a bento. I have been wanting one forever!
And the red one was so cheap! I’ve found a couple of bento-like boxes here that I use regularly too.
