A Note on Portion Size

Everyone keeps staring at my bento and asking me "if that's enough food." Since I didn't bento on Columbus Day, I took some bento leftovers and measured them out onto a "normal plate." (I've wanted to do this experiment for a while). I did squish the rice down into shapes . . . but I think this proves once and for all that bentos hold an average portion of food - just in smal cute compactness!
