With the arrival of Super Bowl season, a spell seems to take hold of my husband. Like many American football fans, the TV mesmerizes him. He shouts, waves his hands and dances in front of the television. With all this expended energy, my husband needs nourishment. But man - especially a gluten sensitive one - cannot live by bread and football alone. So, I prepared a Super Bowl bento (Japanese lunch box.)
Bento lunch boxes – from Hello Kitty and polka dots to somber and simple – are seen in school lunchrooms, corporate cafeterias in Japan. Most every Japanese home has one.
The demand for the stylish lunch boxes in the U.S. seems to be on the rise; more and more supermarkets and internet sites in the U.S. are selling the stylish lunch boxes.Americans are picking up on this Japanese custom of fixing bento boxes for lunch.
Roxana’s Home Baking Chocolate Party gave this Ninja Baker the perfect excuse to create a dessert bento box...
“Think what a better world it would be if we all-the whole world-had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap.” So said Robert Fulghum, author of All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.
Amen! Right?
For kids, little and big, I've created the Ninja Baker's Cookie Bento. (A Japanese-style lunch box.) Read on for details.
The Hallowed Eve month of children acting like monsters is upon us. However, there is no need to endure the scary sugar-highs and lows of October. Make the Ninja Baker’s bento boxes and your kids will remain their almost angelic selves while eating lunch at home or at school.
Trick and Treat!
