Lunch Surprise

Panda bento box, originally uploaded by luckysundae.

Have you ever heard of a Bento Box? If not, they are this super cute lunch box from Japan, traditionally stuffed full of rice, meat, and vegetables. And usually things are cut and molded to look like little anime animals or flowers. Really sweet! And so happy and fun!

Is there anything sweeter than being surprised during a hectic workday by your honey with a special lunch? I don't think so! How excited would your lady be if you showed up at her work at lunchtime with her very own little Bento Box full of yummy food that you made for her? Pretty damn excited, I am guessing.

Don't know where to get a Bento Box? Amazon has a great selection of incredibly cute boxes that most girls would adore.

Don't know how to cook stuff for a Bento Box? Try this cookbook! If you don't want to go to the trouble of cooking something, you could pick up her favorite takeout and transfer it to the box. Or just make her a PB&J sandwich, cut it into a fun shape, and put it in a cute box with some fruit and chips. She'll love it! And she'll love you for thinking of it!
