When we bought this house eight years ago, I found a box full of old cookie cutters in the cabinet. I called the lady that we bought the house from, and she said she didn't think they were hers, so they may have been around for a seriously long time! I went through them and got rid of ones I would probably never use, and put the rest away beck under the cabinet years ago. I completely forgot I had them, and they will be perfect for bento! I pulled them all out, and found a couple more I've picked up here and there on a whim, and also found two silicone baking cups, one a star and one a moon, that I bought with the intention of making offering cakes and then never got around to. I am inspired!

Look out for cool bentos!

I broke down and bought a couple of real bento boxes online, two pretty bento sets for me, one black with strawberries (yay!) and one blue with dragonflies. For Corey I bought one with a skull, and one with a koi fish, but neither of his are sets, so they will hopefully fit in his lunchbox. That's better anyway, someone would probably steal it if I got him a nice one! He has had his entire lunchbox stolen several times over the years! The fucked up part is that he would have totally given them some of his lunch if they were hungry and broke, because he's just that kind of guy. *sigh*
