So I’ve finally got some crappy pictures of my newest bentos, both are licensed San-X and Sanrio and both are brand new, arrived in their packages – I’m all giddy.

First up we’ve got a yellow Rilakkuma aka Relax Bear bento box and it’s 3rd year anniversary bag which isn’t the origial blue drawstring that’s supposed to go with it, but I bought them seperately:

The next is of my strawberry-milk colored Hello Kitty onigiri bento ( more pics when I get time ), which has no bag at the moment but it did come with a little triangular pink onigiri mold – how cute is that?

Not about food ( although a pic of the turkey may come later tonight! ), but being a bento lover as I’m sure all bento lovers who visit HL agree, I know that the single most important figure in all of bento culture is the super cute Kitty chan, aka Sanrio’s Hello Kitty. So, I’ve got some non-food but definitely bento-worthy news to report for those of you who may have missed it, today marks the very first year that Hello Kitty made her way down Broadway to 34th street in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. There’s a blurry from-the-tv camera phone picture below of Kitty dressed up in her hero’s garb as “Supercute”, which she definately is!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
