This Week in Bento: March 22-25, 2011

Hey, everyone! If you missed it last week, check out Bento4Japan, the bento blogging communities way of raising money to help Japan. It's still going strong and there's lots of auctions still open! Click on the badge below and help out!

And of course I've been making bentos in the meantime... warming ones, since the temperatures in Chicago took a nosedive again. We even had some snow (boo!) but at least the sun has been shining. So here we go, it's bento time!
