Meet the Bentos - Mink and Mini-Mink

I had a surprise waiting for me when I got home today. My bento order had arrived! Last week, I ordered a Clickety Click 2-tier Mink lunch bento and belt, plus a Mink snack bento from BentoCrazy. The boxes are adorable and she even included a few mini accessories free of charge.

Happy!

1 - Bento and The Booty

It's Day 1 for me. Making a basic, but good looking, bento is harder than I thought. Those bitty cutters are a new skill I'll need to grasp. Of course, I made it even harder than it had to be by cutting sun-dried tomatoes. The little stars looked like blobs, so I settled for one big star. Photographing these guys was tough. I played with the settings on my camera, wandered to different rooms, and turned lights on and off until I think I got it about right. There's definitely room for improvement, but it's a start in the right direction.

Bento - The lunch bento is filled with pita bread, salad greens, fresh raspberries, tuscan white bean hummus w/ a sun-dried tomato star, and baby carrots. The snack bento contains blueberries, half a banana (the scraps are under the berries), and raw pecans.

Booty - My husband and I decided this week to get our butts back into shape. So far this week, I went to the gym (weights, jump rope, etc.), did yard work, tore out our gross basement drywall, ran 2miles, played tennis, and took a few walks. That's more than I usually do in a month. I'm sore, but feel alert and accomplished.

On a side note ... the bento stuff I ordered from BentoCrazy should be here tomorrow! Yeah!
