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. These days, bento enthusiasts from all over the world share their creations on Flickr.
Last week I showed you a Sakurako Kitsa masterpiece featuring a kimono-clad woman in front of a blue rice sky. Well this week I've got another lovely lady in Japanese attire, a geisha this time, captured from behind as she strolls off into a brown rice sky. Her kimono is salami with an Indian eggplant obi (sash) with kumquat and zucchini detailing. The nape of her neck, once considered the most erotic part of a woman's body, is rendered in emmental cheese, and she wears zucchini, salami and kumquat ornaments in her zucchini rind hair. In the other half of the bento are jewel-skewered edamame, kumquats, leftover korma decorated with a zucchini blossom, and a dessert of green tea-flavored Pocky.
