I found another 'Bento Blog' today (see post from 2.6.2008). This one is called Bento Diet by a California-based mom trying to get back into shape. I think she uses the new Whole Foods salad bar container, and inserts a divider. Bento Diet follows a similar Weight Watchers-related food-minimizing format to Hawaii mom, Pikko's Adventures in Bento Making. Just how many other 'Bento Blogs' are there, I wonder?

Check out:

1. Feisty Bento
   
2. Bento Diet (dig the crazy hot dog octopi)
3. The Original My Bento Diet
4. Lunch in a Box
5. Oh, Bento (haha funny Japanese pun)
6. Oh! Bento
7. Bento pa svenska (in Swedish)
8. C'est dans la boite (in French)
9. Bento Bento (Netherlands)
   
10. Veggie-bento
11. Vegan Lunch Box
    

And on and on. Who knew? There is even Bento TV. Plus a whole Bento community for people who want to receive constructive feedback on their bento boxes to perfect their Japanese lunch box skills and artistry. Wow. I had no idea.

If I had a French-style Japanese bento blog, I would call it 'à bientôt bento!' (translation: see you soon Japanese lunchy!), and be sure to include at least one Japanese-style French pastry per meal, to remain consistent with the theme.
