Hey there, Im Lauri from Long Island, NY. I got into Bnto making when I was (mis)Diagnosed with Celiac disease and needed to be on a Gluten free diet for two years. Now (no longer, never was celiac) I still make bento lunches for my husband and I because spending over $20 for us to eat lunch out is just not in the Budget. My Bentos are usually food shoved in a bento box, and not exciting. But im hoping to work on that. Im a housewife and Full time student studying Japanese and Linguistics. I hope to move to Japan one day, love Knitting and Hello Kitty!! How about you?
