Bento Blues
Please, for the love of all that's merciful, can anyone point me to a bento community? If not, would anyone be willing to START one here on IJ with me? It's just getting a little discouraging on my own. *I* like making meals that, even if it's no more than a sandwich/fruit/dessert, looks unique and beautiful. It makes the hubby feel special when the meal looks cool, way more special than the others at work have. It means he and I eat more creative, balanced meals in healthy portions.
But my extended family - mother, father, siblings, inlaws - all think bentos are 'stupid' and a 'waste of time'. They aren't interested in ideas, tools, or seeing the bentos I've worked so hard to make special. This is really, really discouraging for me. So please, if any of you make bentos, and are in/are interested in a community for bentos, please let me know? Pretty please?
