I've always been an "I can do that" kinda gal, so when I saw a super cute tutorial for a penguin inspired bento at this website I just had to try it out. I intentionally made extra rice at dinner so that I could execute this, and while it's definitely creepy a work in progress that I think I could improve on the next try, I'm happy with how it turned out!

Lacking creativity, I decided to do little cheese penguins, and … [Read more...]
