Good News: Lock and Lock at Winn Dixie!

For those bento fans who live in the United States there are certain parts of the country that are bento deserts. We have very small asian populations and very limited access to common supplies available in California or other metro areas. Simple boxes abound but divided boxes I have had to purchase online. Today while on the hunt for sandwich cutters I spied a new display of Lock N Lock boxes at Winn Dixie. They are displayed as a promotion. There in the stack I found the square four compartment box for $4.99. This same box I paid $8.99 for with shipping several weeks ago. The box below that one is 1000 ml. divided into three compartments. I have been oogling it online but am over bento budget for the month. It is too big for me but not too big for my husband, whom I am slowly converting. Ha, Ha, Ha...I'll have to roll the expense over to the month of July since I bought it for $4.99, it is $9.99 online. The third group ($5.99) I actually purchased for the smaller containers. The larger square box is sandwich box sized. The smaller side cars are leak proof and I intend to use them to store ff salad dressing when I venture out to restaurants. It's almost July isn't it?

Manly Bento


Today's bento is for my husband who is off to work during my summer break from school. This is the manly bento box set I ordered for him to use at work. It is from Lock and Lock a Korean Company which has created some very nice microwaveable, dishwasher safe kits for every day. No little animal picks or cut out flowers, just the food. The box contains left-over Thai Chicken and Vegetables from a restaurant, plus steamed broccoli, carrot salad, steamed wontons with chicken and basil and cherries. Wishing hubby a good day at work.
