New bento equipment

After much debating, I decided to purchase a laptop lunch box. I figure it will be good for bigger lunches when I'm at school, and will fit in the new orange lunch tote I got at Pottery Barn over the weekend. I swear the reusable lunch movement has reached everywhere in the commercial store world. It's now profitable to be green. PB advertised their lunch tote along with resuable drinkware and glass snapware boxes like the Glasslock box that Nick has. I applaud the idea, but I think three glass containers in my lunch tote is awfully heavy.

I found out that the laptop lunchbox not only comes in primary colors like I've seen on blogs and on flickr, but also in all pink, and one with periwinkle inserts. There is even a "whimsical" color scheme. I decided on the periwinkle after much thought. I purchased it from the Conscious Cookery shop on ebay that had it cheaper than the Reusable Bags site and the Obentec site (the maker of the Laptop Lunchbox).

I was happy to receive it in the mail today! This is what it looks like:


I'm excited to use it! The book it comes with has a lot of nutritional information, tips on how to make your lunch healthy for your kids, and recipes for what to put in the box. I hope to post a lunch in it soon...
