a month of recent bentos
I haven't been good at photographing all the bentos I have been making but here are a lucky few that have made the cut. I'm still using them daily and I am still waiting a shipment from 2 sellers in Japan (should be any time now). I'm also testing out recipes from 5 new cookbooks for review.
