"I'm Turning Japanese, I Think I'm turning Japanese..."

"...I Really Think So"



A few weeks ago I found an article in a magazine about Japanese Bento lunchboxes and that sparked the desire to learn more about Japanese food. I have been looking up Bento websites and got some cookbooks from the library. I know I might not like some of the foods, but I want to learn to make something new and completely different.

On Saturday Rich took me to Oto's Japanese Market in Sacramento to support my new obession. I took a cookbook so I could buy a few ingredients for my first attempt at Japanese food. I also bought a bento lunchbox for Ava and I to use when we are out and about. While we were there we decided to get lunch too. The market had sushi and a variety of bento boxes. We got three boxes and all shared.

We have bento boxes-they are great for the kids for their lunches. So many varieties to chose from on the web too.
