This week it’s an attack of plums. Usually I pack a lot of apples but I was feeling like I wanted to pack plums instead but they look so dire in pictures? Hopefully it’ll be a mix next week.

A big round number of bento week posts! How nice. Not a lot to say but I’m working on this thing where 4 out of the 5 bentos are vegetarian or vegan and I don’t know how long I can  keep that up without Andrew noticing but this was a really successful week.

I thought about renumbering these for the new year but I don’t think anyone cares and I’m more curious how long I can keep it running before I just get sick of the number thing so for 2018 we’re just going to keep it rolling.

Hurrah! It’s the first bento of the year. I actually made over 150 bentos last year which is pretty impressive and hopefully this year will be as productive (or more).
