To those of you who follow JustBento but don't follow JustHungry: the first lesson in the Japanese Cooking 101 course has been posted. If you're interested in cooking traditional Japanese style bentos, you will find the course to be a good foundation to that. Join us!

For Bento 101 followers: I'm not seeing a lot of stash submissios (the most recent assignment) yet. You don't have to overthink it - just think of things that you can store for a while in your pantry, freezer or refrigerator, to pull out and pack. Show me your stash! ^_^ Incidentally, the last lesson for Bento 101 was be posted later this week. I hope you have enjoyed following along!
