Guest guest Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Heather, I got the Mr. Bento thermos with four containers. So I am thinking I would build my bentos in the little containers, yes...so maybe rice, stir fry, veggies and fruit?

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Oh I love those Mr. Bento's! I've ordered one but it hasn't arrived yet. Yes, you could stack yours just as you described. The little compartments make it easy to check for the right food groups, don't they? I want to try mine with soup, rice, stirfry and veggies. Heather There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. --Albert Einstein ________________________________ Kathleen DesMaisons <radiantkd Wednesday, February 25, 2009 8:14:17 AM Re: Bento/was Re: making up recipes as I go along Heather, I got the Mr. Bento thermos with four containers.
