First Blogged Bento (no pic)

Today's lunch was a 98% hit! Two thumbs up, and BunnieB ate every bite except for the condiments.
  • Burrito, cut into 3 small pieces. (Fat-free vegetarian refried beans & grated cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla, nuked for about 30 seconds, then allowed to cool before packing).
  • Grape "kebobs" (green grapes strung onto toothpicks and bamboo skewers).
  • Cherries with some decorative toothpicks added for fun.
  • A tiny container of low-fat sour cream for the burrito (this apparently took on too strong a smell after being in the lunch box all day, so miss picky didn't eat it -- even though she loves sour cream normally!).
  • A teensy tiny amount of mild salsa in a cute bento "mayonnaise cup." I'd hoped that the cute presentation would entice her to try a taste of salsa but no luck.
  • Chocolate-covered peanuts.
  • A box of 100% cherry juice (frozen overnight so it helped keep the lunch cool).
I'll try to include photos in the future, as is done by several of the outstanding bento lunchbox blogs that have inspired me. Plus, it'll make it faster for me to throw together a lunch if I can see a picture....
