Risotto bento

Not as much decoration in today's bento, but instead I got it done nice and quickley.

The main dish is my fave smoked chicken and mushroom rissotto, using a extremely simple cheating recipe and tastes like I have made it by stiring it over the stove the whole time XD the cheat of course is a rice cooker, what a great cooking device.

As with late I seem to be in a yellow mood and over do the colour in my bento. However, it's a happy colour so I don't mind. Am looking forward to one of my other faves, karage chicken~ mmm

The brocoli is a first, I am impressed with the overall look. And finally I went with a min egg salad due to space constrantes.

Panda invasion

My latest order arrived last nice XD not anything dramatic, more cute sauce bottles, a couple of paper cups and extra long picks.

So I used one of my new sauce bottles for the salad dressing and a matching panda pick for the meatballs, however due to space considerations they went next to each other >.<



I am happiest about my octopus, he has a headband~

Plum chicken

So there's pizza in my bento o.O well I had to use what's on hand and after an hour and a half in traffic I am not cooking dinner. Pizza night!

I made ham, cheese and nori rolls, my cooking manga book calls them naruto rolls which is cute. German potatos and shallot flowers to balance the meal. Too much carbs for a perfect balance today but you get that some days :P

Bunnies

So I got to 7.30pm Sunday night and went "omg lunch!" so apparently I can throw together a nice bento in no time and without going shopping all weekend :-P



Some leftover curry rice and little imagination and an ideas book saves everytime, hehe.

Friday leftover lunch

Being the end of week I made my lunch out of whatever I found leftover in the fridge.



Only thing I made last night was the rolled omlette which tastes good but not as visually attractive as I wanted but I had not made it for a while and might have rushed it.

The goyza sandwiches are so damn easy they are going to be a regular though I did nat make stamps for mine today, that's what you get at the end of the week.

Goyza sandwich

So flicking through my awesome present of 501 bentos (while not recommend for a beginner, great foe ideas once you have a few tools and recipes) and I saw some thing that I just had to try as I love goyza and already had the tool!



So I made ham and cheese half sandwiches~ and to remind what is inside I made a stamp out of ham and cheese and lightly toasted it on top XD




The only reason I like to show both the bentos I make, even though the same foods are in them, is the differences in packing styles.

Classic bento

So this is actually almost exactly a bento out of one of my books.

Mine is the same but a little smaller. I have found that grapes are an excellent filler the same with an egg~

Menu: onigiri, grapes, capsicum, cucumber, tomato, Japanese potato salad, mini hamburgers, egg, orange cake and strawberry.

Back into it

So back from holidays and making bento again. A new part of the challenge now is landrin requires a bento for work too.

Even though I had not made one for a while and had lent my books I came up with a nice bento~

Menu: karage chicken with mayo, rice with seasoning and salad and to finish orange poppy cake and a strawberry.
