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. These days, bento enthusiasts from all over the world share their creations on Flickr.

Check out the valentine-themed bento by kayepants, with its cut-out cheese hearts, apple sauce with cinnamon hearts and cheesy hot dog hearts, which remind me of the disembodied lips in the opening sequence of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The cinnamon hearts were achieved using a stencil.

Tip of the Day

The turkey turned out perfectly, but the gravy's a different story. Avoid botching the one recipe that guests pour over their entire Thanksgiving plates with these quick fixes.
