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 Wendy Copley's cute preschooler bento - peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut into teddy bear and heart shapes, a load of sliced strawberries, cupcake liners filled with sliced string cheese and goldfish crackers, plus a tiny plastic cartoon character (hope the kid knows not to eat it!). Goes to show that bento-making doesn't have to be super-elaborate.
