This blog has been kinda quiet since my last official bento post for the year. Well, school's out so there's not much reason to bento since the kids are with me all the time (I cook, they eat, the end). And I've been busy researching on homeschooling my 2yo (very unofficially).
And I haven't been thinking or planning next year's bentos yet (haha! that would be so UNtypical of me, to plan), but I know I need to do so soon, perhaps not so much the actual food or themes, as the timing and workflow, since both Takoyaki and Roast Meat will be in the morning session. I hope to bento BEFORE they go to school on some days, instead of the night before. But this will take some preparing, something I'm loathe to do.
Some good news - Bento guru Maki is feeling better these days and has again begun updating both her bento site JustBento as well the sister site on Jap food (and other Japanese topics, as well as other cuisines), JustHungry. I know you don't know me, Maki, but I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better! Both your blogs have been sources of great inspiration (not to mention bona fide Japanese recipes that I depend so much on).
And Bento&Co, my favourite bento shopping site, is having a promotion! 20% off for orders over USD190 and free shipping to certain areas (unfortunately, sunny Singapore is not one of those places so I can only sigh).
Wishing you a Blessed Christmas, everyone~
