In case you missed it bento boxes where the challenge on The Next Iron Chef tonight. It was a great competition where they had to create a dish of all five flavors, one for each section of the bento. I think that this is a great idea that I'm going to steal for my own bentos. Also each dish had to contain rice and it was interesting all the different kinds.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00m2790 Considering the aim of so many of us to become more frugal in our lifestyles, I was rather looking forward to this series hoping I could pick up some useful tips. Alas, the series wasn't aimed at me at all.

Has anyone in the UK (or elsewhere, for that matter) been watching the new series of Celebrity Masterchef? As usual, most of the 'celebrities' are people I have never heard of, but it's been good viewing so far until tonight.
