Hippy Housewives Need To Eat, Too! Wednesday, August 27, 2008. I have recently become seriously obsessed with Bento. And after bugging the crap out of a lovely internet friend. Demanding all of her knowledge on the subject, I set out to create my own for the very first time. I practiced on our dinner, and this is what I came up with. Pink food-colored rice, carrot confetti, shapes cut out from cheese, broccoli grass, tomato and cheese flowers, and a plum flower in vanilla yogurt with gummis to decorate.
