little things ...

... make me happy :)

like, my new laptop lunchbox! i had seen these long ago, on the blog vegan lunch box.

since i have been commuting, taking my lunch daily had become a greater daily challenge. at first, i was driving, so the container didn't matter so much (ie: i could take a big heavy pyrex thing with saran wrap over it). but, when i started having to walk a lot further, and riding the bus, i switched to what leak proof plastic containers i had. it takes me about an hour to get from my home to work ((includes walking to the bus stop, waiting for the (usually late) bus, transit time, and walking from the drop off to work)). so, keeping the meal cool, especially now in the early HOT summer temperatures, has become an issue as well.

so, i got this ....

can you see it?

well ... it's in there ..... amongst the other dishes .......

it's pretty cool. i also got the bento sleeve with ice pack to keep the coolness snug against my lunchbox, w/o the excess bulk of a "proper" case.

and you know, another cool thing is there's a flickr group if i'm looking for some inspiration or ideas about what to pack.

i think what i like most is the idea of portioning and variety. that's what all those spaces/places make me think of.

ps. i found an online coupon for a 10% discount ... though, i cannot find it right now to post here ......
