Stanley's Friend Totoro Bento

I had a good laugh eating this lunch the other day. A young man came into the shop and said "Please don't tell me you're eating fruit salad with chopsticks."

I held up my Totoro box cover and said "You do know ToToRo?" To which he replied yes.

Then, much to the fun that is where I call work, he did the whole Totoro scene when the girl lands on his stomach.

Caviar Bento

Fresh radishes from the garden, a sweet orange and blackberry bombs, and dried pomegranate seeds hang out with Mr. Grumpy Giraffe. Believe me, I can sympathize with Mr. Grumpy Giraffe as this consoling bento was my lunch on my first day back to work after my vacation.

So I used a new box, My Neighbor Totoro holding a four-leaf clover, and filled it with rice and teriyaki chicken and pickles. That is black caviar on the rice.

I know it looks like a blackberry. I bought the caviar to add to salmon sashimi, my birthday dinner.

Yay! I made it another year. Yes indeed I'd rather be lucky like my lucky Totoro!
