We took a guided tour of this new lunch box for grown-ups at the Housewares Show. You asked us for more pictures . . . Aladdin emailed these over today.
This lunch box is broad but relatively thin; the better to slip into messenger bags, Aladdin says. The completely removable lid is an on-the-go placemat and makes clean up easier.
The red leftover/sandwich holder has a movable divider to accommodate varying amounts of leftovers. On salad days, swap out the red insert for the green one.
We haven't tried it yet, but the salad set comes complete with a cutting board and dressing cup. There's a crisper in the bottom of the salad bowl.



Thanks for the extra info about this lunchbox! Although Mr. Bento is a bit clunky, I'm really not into the mini-briefcase style of the Aladdin lunchbox. I do like the dividers, though. I suppose I'll have to check it out the next time I find myself near a Target store.
What I'd REALLY love is if someone would "pimp my lunchbox" and make me a cute carrying bag to replace the dorky one that came with Mr. Bento. Anybody?

I would love to have a lunch theme month. I'm always looking for something better than sandwiches and left overs to take to work.

yep, i'm a big pasta salad fan--it's my go-to one-dish meal for lunch-- and would love to hear some good recipes.
okay, that had nothing to do with lunchboxes. but i bet a pasta salad would look mighty pretty INSIDE one! :)

Lunch month is a genius idea.

For thinkingwoman - It's nothing too fancy, but my favorite pasta salad recipe... instead of dressing I use store-bought pesto, some olive oil to thin it out, and fresh lemon juice. Taste along the way and add more or less of whatever you like. The lemon ads a really nice fresh flavor. I like it with some fresh mozz, broccoli, and tomatoes, but I think pesto goes well with anything :)
