Lazy Bento

Hello all,
Its been a while since I've posted one of my bentos. I was experimenting with my new bento toys and tried for an "under the sea" theme but it didnt quite turn out. First the eggs I used for the egg shaper were to small so nothing showed up. I ended up stuffing the egg shaper with rice and was able to make rice fish instead which I think turned out OK. I also made my first octo-dogs I think they turned out pretty cute! In the smaller compartment I tried to pass off the tomato slices as coral and the little jelly cup as a jelly fish. I realized to late that I should have made a star fish apple instead of a flower. Overall it was a lazy bento but it was still better than nothing and it was delicious!

Funky Panda

This should be called "Leftovers in a Hurry" - it was very tasty but could have been arranged a little better! Next time I will take an extra minute to make a better arrangement. I had leftover chicken and vegetables and I put some little grape tomatoes in for color.

The Bunny Twins Bento

Is it possible that rice tastes better when shaped like a bunny? I think so! I enjoyed this bento lunch with leftover steamed zucchini, feta stuffed grape tomatoes, rice bunnies with furikake, grapes and heart shaped cheddar cheese slices. Just looking at the picture makes me wish I had prepared a bento lunch for tomorrow!
