Footprints on the Moon

I haven’t been posting here much the last several days, and that’s because I have a strange new obsession. And it’s called Bento. It all started with Loretta making a post about Bentos on Just Not Martha. I followed her link over to Bento Yum just to try and figure out what the heck a Bento was, and a new obsession was born. Real basically, Bento-ing is a way of packing a healthy, portion controlled lunch in appealing and creative ways. I don’t have a bento set (but I find myself really, really wanting one… if they stock a Keroppi one, I’ll be sold!), and I’ve never made one, but I can’t quit looking at them! My eyes have been opened, and people are posting pictures of their bentos all over the place– their own sites, LiveJournal, Flickr.

I have a bad habit of researching things, hobbies, whatever, and getting all excited about them and never following through. I’m hoping Bento isn’t one of them though… I’m not sure what’s got me so entranced with it, but I really like the idea. The fact that I have the desire to eat healthy but never manage to follow through is also a huge draw I think. Have you (besides Retta ) ever heard of bentos? Would you consider packing that kind of lunch(/breakfast/dinner)?
