Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
For your lunchtime pleasure, I'm presenting a series of my favorite bento boxes. Bento are Japanese home-prepared meals served in special boxes, usually eaten for lunch at work or school. The boxes can range from austere lacquered trays to multi-tiered Hello Kitty confections of neon pink plastic. The meals themselves are anything from rice and leftovers to elaborate themed affairs of Pikachu-shaped dumplings with sesame seed eyes and carved radish trees. These days, bento enthusiasts from all over the world share their creations on Flickr.
Chotda's adorable orange bento marries artyness with edibility. On the top row we've got spicy pickled shallots, pre-made Hello Kitty fishcakes, and snail-like rolls of sweet omelet. On the bottom we've got some gorgeous panko-breaded fake scallops and two brown and white rice logs with shiso and sesame seed. Everything's kept neat and in its place with colorful plaid cupcake liners.

Would it be possible for you to put the description of the individual bento *first*, so we can read it while we can still see the picture? The intro paragraph could go after the description... this would really enhance the view experience, IMO.
