Fail

I have finally managed to sneak some internet and have been using it for many other things rather than uploading pictures of my bento lunches. Clearly, I fail. However, I made a delicious looking bento for lunch tomorrow and my inspiration has been renewed. So, without further ado, pictures of lunches from a last November!!!

A Bear-y nice lunch! Haha, kill me for that awful pun. Some chicken pasta cassarole type noodle thing that I learned to make on a college budget fills the upper right hand corner. To the left is a feeble attempt at making garlic spinach tamago-yaki. Some carrots, apple from the farmer's market and the awesome bear sandwiches round out the rest of the lunch. Oh, and a sprig of broccoli for colo
r (its raw, and I don't really like raw broccoli, I wonder if I even ate it). The sandwich cutters come in a set of three and come with a cutter and a top piece that stamps the design on the bread. I imagine that they would work well as actual cookie cutters as well, just kind of tedious. This lunch isn't as colorful as I would have liked, however, I couldn't resist posting the bear sandwiches. They are my pride and joy.

Another one from the "Cute Sandwich" series. The top tier has heart shaped rice with nori furikake on it. Some spinach leaves separate the sweet apple pieces from the rice and sandwiches. The sandwiches are flower shaped and came in the same set as the bears. The bottom tier has some spinach leaves with carrot flowers and some leftover canned baby corn on top. Sesame dressing from Trader Joe's fills the small cup.


This is another somen variation. Somen is especially yummy on a hot day. The bottom is filled with somen spun around on a fork to make it neater looking and easier to eat and sprinkled with some nori furikake to make it pretty. A boiled egg and somen tsuyu fill the rest of the bottom tier. The top is filled with peeled asian pear and some spinach topped with carrots and frozen corn. Again, sesame dressing from Trader Joe's fills the small sauce bottle.

Hopefully I'll get around to posting more pictures. It isn't my strongest quality. And time is becoming more precious as I prepare for my move across the globe to Karlskrona, Sweden. I hope to continue my bento lunch making overseas, so stay tuned for Swedish flavored bentos!
