Balance in the Force

First off let me welcome all the new readers for joining our lunch making world. This week I asked my readers entering our very 1st Giveaway what their favorite lunch making tools are. We're getting some awesome responses. If you haven't entered to win some bento flair, don't worry it won't end until September 4th so click that link up there and go enter.

One of the most popular tools of the trade is cookie cutters, my very first set was the Wilton 101 cookie cutters from Walmart for $10. A friend recently donated her William-Sonoma Star Wars cookie cutters to my collection, and for that I thank you :). We also got some new boxes this year, the one I used today was from our local grocery store and it has an icepack that fits in the top of the box.

Darth VS. Yoda 

(Apologies for the lighting but mornings aren't my thing so I bento at night)

In this lunch : 

• Darth Vader and Yoda - ham and swiss
• Trader Joe's Rocket cheddar crackers in the background
• Trader Joe's Yogurt star cookies (top center)
• Orange vs. Green - Oranges and carrots vs. grapes and cucumbers

So who will prevail? Hopefully both with bring balanced nutrition to his lunch. But no matter what I'm done done done, done, done done, done, done done. :)
