A new hobby

I've found a great new hobby that combines food, art, shopping and web-surfing - Bento! I've been lurking on the bentolunch LJ community enjoying the pictures and finally decided to start making my own. Here's Monday's lunch. It was a great success if I do say so myself. It looked good, traveled well, and tasted great. It doesn't have any rice, but it's got round shapes and long lozenge shapes and multiple textures and meets the 5-color guideline! It's also a nutritional powerhouse (but has only 330 calories).

My First Bento Smoked salmon wraps with cottage cheese, green onion and roasted red pepper, seasoned with Mrs. Dash. Clockwise from the upper left we have: Laughing Cow cheese, baby carrots, fresh berries nestled in fat-free sour cream, kumquats and grape tomatoes. Bento box is actually a takeout container from the Fresh Wok.
