Yesterday as soon as I began my explorations into Bento making, I started collecting the supplies I already had. I had a few cookie cutters, a nice set of nesting heart cookie cutters from the recent post-Valentine's Day sales at Target, two pancake/egg cookers leftover from some time in the distant and remote past, and my husband's existing lunch boxes that I have been collecting for the past year.
When my husband is in town, he likes me to make him a lunch every day. I admittedly was not very happy about this whole lunch making idea when we first got married. I had been single a long time, and making lunch for my man seemed like something he could do himself. Well, I watched a few Bento videos on you tube yesterday, and I realized how wrong I have been. I love my husband, and Bento is a way to show love through something he is going to eat anyway. Here is a link to the video that changed my perception:

And this cute video, showing a woman making her very first Bento for her husband:

So, not only is this whole Bento process fun, and a great outlet for my own creativity, it is also a wonderful way to show my husband that I love him. We also have three children between us, and while we don't have them during the school year, we do have them the entire summer, so I am thinking Bento might be fun for all of us to do together.
