Fresh Bento Part Deux

Ok, so this bento looks and tastes almost exactly like yesterday's bento, but that's cool, because it was tasty and I didn't have to cook anything! More yummy treats from Fresh by Lisa Hemenway (chicken salad and roasted beets), plus a few carrots, cuke slices, and a tiny cherry tomato from Ridgeview Farms. I really love the container, which I found at Daiso in Westlake Mall on my recent trip to Seattle. It's a Magic Round Bento with compartments! Double woot.

I wanted to share a couple of exciting tidbits: the Sonoma Bento blog made it to 10,000 hits this past week and to celebrate I am going to do another GIVEAWAY! Woohoo! Stay tuned bento buddies, I am pretty sure I will have it ready to go by this weekend, or Monday at the latest.

Also, my friend Maria Vieages, a fabulous chef and host of Maria's Non Pompous Food Talk has asked me to be on her show to talk about bentos! Yay! I am scheduled to be on the show this coming Monday, October 4th. You can stream her show Mondays from noon to 1pm online at kggvfm.org. Just click on the link that says STREAMING LINK. Plus, if you have any topics you think I should cover, let me know. I really hope that I can get more people excited about bento making.

And lastly, my hubby just started a new job (yay) and now I am making non cute bento boxes for him. So far it has just been sandwiches and veggies, but I am going to get all creative soon.
