Bento=Japanese Lunch Box

For lunch today, I walked over to JAS Mart on 23rd Street and purchased an assortment of healthy Japanese treats: salmon onigiri, seaweed salad and vegetable tofu patties. I realize now, having come across a blog called Adventures in BentoMaking soon after consuming my beautiful bento-style lunch, albeit on small paper plates, that I should have photographed my healthy little feast. Next time.

For now, please enjoy Adventures in BentoMaking. Writer, Pikko, seems to have lost 22 pounds eating these concise small meals -- her beautifully designed Japanese solution to the Weight Watchers plan.
