Cute! Bento!

 

Hello guys!

So, like i said last week, i was working on something awesome and I made my first bento box lunch for Meredith when she goes to work tomorrow(by the time any of you read this itll probably be monday our time, sunday your time)

Anyway, basically the way bento works is that the mothers pack up their husbands/childs' lunches in a nice neat box. Sometimes it can be decorative or for the majority of the meals, just tightly packed and organized into efficient and delicious lunches.

Of course, for it being the first time I went with the decorative type, which is called cute bento(or at least that's what i seem to find it being called most of the time).

Anyway, ill stop talking and let the pictures talk for themselves.

These were from the first experiment:

That's a small cracker hat, with food coloring gel eyes and mouth and inside is a very tasty cherry treat!  oh! and seaweed(Nori) hair underneath the hat.

 

These hearts are also made out of rice and are banana flavored(cherry filling as well)

 

And heres the actual meal i made.

top Left:  A cherry man in a bathtub of pineapple gel cubes that I dyed blue-ish(Good god are these delicious)

Top: a face of a man and panda filled with yummy chicken inside rice.

Bottom Left: A cheesy corn soup with chicken bits.

Bottom right: Left overs from tonight's dinner which consisted of mangos, rice, chicken, broccoli and other assorted goodies.

Middle: Carrots and mini oranges(the name eludes me at the moment and im too lazy to walk to the kitchen).

 

Anyway, that is an example of a cute bento box, it's a bit crude compared to some of the ones ive seen, but hell, for a first timer, I dont think i did too bad.

Talk to ya guys later!
