Bento or the boxed lunch

I have been away from Dionisolia for such a long time that I felt I needed a really good reason to come back and write. I have tried so many new and cool restaurants lately that maybe I could write about that... or about trying my hand (and failing miserably) at puddings. But no... Instead I will let you know about the boxed lunch.
The boxed lunch is a famous cultural trait in both the US and Japan, where its normal for people to prepare their lunch at home and take it to work in a... lunch box. The portuguese 'marmita' which is looked down on.
Today I came acrosse this site: Mizuku Ito's photoblog on bento lunches and was immediately drawn to it.
Even if the pictures are not that good, you can see the way things are arranged and the kind of foods that are packed. I'm in love.
Now that I am starting the DASH diet and fruits + all kinds of vegetables (and grains!) are allowed I'm already thinking about all the combinations that I can try.
Hummm....
