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.

Arancini, dipping sauce, salad, mandarins Sweet potato and turkey meatballs and spaghetti, salad, apple Mushroom and wild rice soup, carrots and hummus, rye bread, grapes Latkes and sour cream dip, grapes, chili-vinegar roasted vegetables Chickpea tikka masala, rice, salad, apple

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.
