Where the Wild Things Lunch

I’ve got a daily vegetarian burrito rotation going for lunches at work, but I’m looking to break out of the tortilla wrap.  This has lead me to explore the possibility of  packing bento boxes for lunch. I’ve found recipes for quick, vegetarian bentos for adults, as I want to be practical about it.  But it hasn’t stopped me from admiring the more elaborate, artistic bentos out there.

I submit, for your approval, this design by Anna the Red. Amazing. This is 100% edible and you can find the  recipe up on her website. This is only the tip of the rice cake.  She’s got tons of designs that will make your geeky heart giggle, and she provides heavily annotated images on her Flickr pages.  Take a look, but word of caution, you might not want to do so on an empty stomach.
