I don't have any Asian supermarkets around here, however, I will check out the international section of Wegman's the next time we are there, they are usually a good store for finding things I can't find elsewhere in our rural community.kewkewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12668211363344117034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069660946567587305.post-56629993026515837162014-10-05T17:14:50.227-04:002014-10-05T17:14:50.227-04:00Black rice is sold at Asian supermarkets (and here...Black rice is sold at Asian supermarkets (and here in the international section of the supermarket).

Unfortunately, I have never seen black rice either so I don't think I could make it. <br />Thanks for sharing with Throwback Thursday Blog-Style. I hope you stop by again this week.

The containers with lids help with that (in mine, that's the green container and my orange sauce cup). Mine is Laptop Lunches 1.0, so it's a little different than the ones they sell now--now you can get them with ALL lids.<br /><br />I've never had a problem with mine leaking. I've stuck them sideways into a backpack, and into a messenger bag. The stuff shifts (obviously) but it tends to stay in its own compartment. If I do worry about it (which I sometimes do) I'll put it into a plastic shopping bag before I put it in my messenger bag, or I'll just carry it flat (if that's practical). I only worry if it's something like soup, though (which I almost never bring). So long as you bring generally solid food, it stays put.<br /><br />If you do really worry about that, you should look into the expander kits--they don't work with the 1.0 sets, but they do with the 2.0 sets--and all those containers have lids.<br /><br />Another similar style of lunch blogging with this lunchbox is A Packable Feast. There hasn't been much new activity lately, but the old posts may give you ideas. Also, I don't think she ever complained of leakage: http://packablefeast.blogspot.com/<br /><br />I hope that helps.

Just hoping you can answer a quick question. I bought the set that you have (but in a different color), but not the sleeve. Do you find that you can turn your kit on its side without ruining the contents or having a leaky mess? I want to carry mine in my messenger bag, but I'm wondering if I'll make a mess tossing the kit in my bag. How do you carry yours around? Thanks so much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
