I got this bento box at Borders Books this past week. I saw Sheri of Happy Little Bento post some pictures of their new bento boxes (made by Paperchase) and I just had to go out and get it. This is actually the largest of 4 boxes, each nesting inside of the next. Each one has a different little xmas image on top. So darling! And I got four bento boxes (yes, the small one is pretty small) for 10 bucks! Woot!

You got 'em, so cute!! Isn't twitter great for #bentoenablers? Very nice crepes idea; I haven't tried making them but they're a nice alternate for rollups, which I like to make a lot for bento. Roasted Brussels are another yummy favorite. This bento would go fast around here! Thanks for playing #twitterpancakeparty!
ReplyDeleteThanks sheri! I got the fruit bento boxes too, couldn't resist. Crepes are pretty easy to make and they freeze well. Here's the recipe I used: 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup flour, 1 egg, 1.5 tblsp melted butter, 1/4 tsp salt, 3 tblsp water. Blend all ingredients about 4 seconds. Let batter sit for 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Cook crepes over medium heat, use more melted butter to grease the pan.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm going to have to check out borders, I have two other large bookstores closer to me, so that would be a definite trip to go just there. I'm also going to have to go on twitter more often,I just need more time! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the box and it is filled so pretty! The crepes look yummy! Actually one of my favorite ones are turkey dill crepes. Bingo!
Oh wow, Lyndsey! Turkey dill crepes sound delicious! And you probably have leftover turkey, right? :)
ReplyDeleteI had to search around a bit to find the bento boxes at Borders. I would call ahead to make sure that they have them.
=) yay! Savory crepes! So yum...
ReplyDeletecute radishes! And cute boxes... I am so "glad" ( aka jealous :P) we don't have Paperchase suppliers here.... ^_^
Ha ha karaimame! I have too much access to cool bento boxes. They are taking over my house. :)
ReplyDeleteOK, now I have an excuse to go to Borders. As long as I'm there, I may as well go to Michael's Crafts, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling. When will dinner-time get here?
Have fun dragonmamma! The bento boxes were on the right as you head into the store, near the SBC. If you have trouble finding them, ask an employee to show you the Paperchase merchandise. Pretty cool stuff!

ReplyDeleteLovely new boxes, what a great score! Pretty fillings too...well done with pretty radish pickle :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! I'll showcase the other boxes later this month, they are soooo cute.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I love it (crepes are one of our FAVORITES!) and I love that box, too.
ReplyDeleteThe flower shaped watermelon radish really beautiful!!! By the way, what a coincidence, i just bought the same bento box as you. Not exactly the same, my bento box color is blue and its picture not as cute as yours. But I got 4 boxes too, for less then 3 US dollar :D
ReplyDeleteall looks fresh and yummy :)
ReplyDeletewhat a cute box too
Thanks Kari! I was surprised how well the crepes stood up in the bento. Theye made really strong rollups and fantastic finger food. :)
ReplyDeleteWow Sysyl, what a bargain! I can't wait to try out the rest of the boxes. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Yenny! It was really delicious.
