Bento: Just chilling

For some reason every ice block I have ever gotten for my lunches has always sprung a leak. I doesn’t seem to matter how careful I am. It is just a matter of time before its contents will ooze out of its container all over my lunch. So now as soon as I get a new one I put it into a freezer Ziplock® baggie that way when ever it does leak the mess is contained and easily disposed of. It is a good idea to periodically check the baggie for holes or tears from rubbing against lunch containers and silver ware.

    I've enjoyed reading your posts on bento boxes. I've been on a similar quest to find a set of containers that could conveniently fit together. Have you looked into the Laptop Lunchbox from www.laptoplunches.com? When I came across it, I thought, "Why hasn't someone thought of this before?" You get five boxes, including one for salad dressing/dipping sauce, that fit in their own tray-like box, which in turn comes with a carrying case. The case has an inside pocket for an ice pack and has some additional outside pockets. The food boxes were a bit smaller than expected, but it's nice to have it all fit together. It's like carrying a portable cafeteria tray. :)

    I've seen those and wondered how well they worked size wise.

    The larger boxes have a volume of a little more than a cup and the smaller hold almost 3/4 cup. Not too bad; too small for some foods. If you forego the water bottle, you can fit some additional items in plastic bags.
