May you rest in pieces, sweet bento box

As I was packing my lunch for work, I just noticed something horrible. My bento box has a giant crack in it, which means I can no longer use it as the items will just spill through. This makes me exceptionally sad as it was my first bento box. We've been through a lot of things together, a lot of good times and a lot of experimental meals. It really breaks my heart to see it go. Especially since it was a college gift from my mother.

I will really miss my rabbit bento box

Good night sweet rabbit bento box, we've been together for so long... I'll miss putting delicious food into you.

Aperture Cookies

Tomorrow I should be receiving my order for my Portal 2 cookie cutters.

Portal cookie cutters

Now I don't really bake cookies, or even enjoy them in general but I'm so excited for them, I will probably bake tasty cookies with them. Something that I can for sure decorate though. Most likely sugar cookies or another basic recipe that can take frosting rather well.

I can't wait to get off work tomorrow and come home to a big package... A package with portal-tastic cookie cutters inside.

Just look at those cute companion cube and turret

I'm going to make a ton of turrets and companion cubes. Because they're my favorite. Going to bring some to AX with me for my friends. Because after not seeing them in a long time, I think the best thing to do is have cookies with your best friends.

This is a very delicious post

If there is one thing I love, its food.

But I also love looking for deals and shopping locally. Yes, I am one of those younger kids who goes out every Sunday and buys two or three copies of the Sunday edition of the newspaper to get good deals.

Anyway I was looking online and saw a good couple of food related articles I thought you should see.

15 foods you should never buy again

This was a real eye opener since it showed many things that I see people buy all the time, and even some stuff that I'm guilty of getting myself. Salad kits and bottled water are like my huge weaknesses since I will constantly get them all the time. Then because I buy such a huge amount I don't use them all and then feel super guilty.

Eating is better as a group

13 things you should know about farmer's markets

This one really stands out for me as there are tons of farmers markets everywhere here. Even small local ones and the big one in the state (the big one is known pretty much all over). I'm a huge supporter of local buying of everything I can, even if it costs more money. That's why I was shocked when I saw this:

3. If you spend $100 at a farmers market, $62 goes back into the local economy -- and $99 out of $100 stays in the state.

Seriously that's really great, it shows that when you support local it pays back to your economy. I really am glad the idea of the money getting put back into our state is great instead of it going somewhere else.

Eggs are one of the many local products I buy to support the local economy
