In this bento: Rice with salmon soboro and a green pea heart, green peas, cherry tomato, carrot-kohlrabi salad, grapes

This is a bento from two or three weeks ago but I think it turned out pretty nice. Soboro is great for decoration and also very pretty! I made the heart by pressing a cookie cutter into the rice, filling it with peas and putting the soboro around it before carefully removing the cutter.

In this bento: Heart-shaped onigiri with tuna, heart-shaped egg, carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, strawberries

One of my rare tries to make a more decorative bento ... Wrapping one of the onigiri in nori was a bit of a tricky affair but it looks kinda neat with the rice peeking out of the nori.

Yes, there's a bit of lettuce again - or rather Chinese cabbage. I still had that left from the weekend and don't know what to do with it, so I might just as well use it in a bento ;).

Onigiri: 4 points

I added my bento to What's for lunch Wednesday. Why don't you share yours, too?

Current Mood: okay

In this bento: Fried rice with vegetables, egg and tuna, cucumber and carrot sticks, strawberries.

First strawberries of the year! I make a point not to buy Spanish strawberries (unless they're organically grown), so I usually have to wait for a bit longer to get them since Spanish strawberries are usually the first to arrive on the market. But well, it makes it all the better when I finally get them ^^. These are Spanish but organic, so I can live with it. They were still very tart, though, so apart from those in the bento I ate the rest of them with a lot of sweetener and milk.

I originally wanted to put turkey into the fried rice but then remembered the open tuna can I still had, so tuna it was ;).

WW points:
Fried rice: 4 1/2 points
Carrot and cucumber sticks: 0 points
Strawberries: 0 points
Total: 4 1/2 points

(Really low in points, this one!)

In this bento: Italian roll, mini pretzel cheese croissant, pan-fried salmon, apple bunnies, carrot-kohlrabi salad

You know what's bad about a bento stash? When you rely on it and then find that you don't have the thing left in the freezer you wanted :p. That's what happened today - I had planned to have hua juan again, but alas ... So I took something else from the freezer, a roll and a mini croissant ^^.

Next time I would choose another muffin cup for the salad, though this one fits the box best - orange in orange doesn't look so good.

(This one turned out a bit fuzzy :/ ...)

WW points:
Italian roll: 2 1/2 points
Mini croissant: 3 points
Salmon: 2 points
Carrot-kohlrabi salad: 1 point
Apple bunnies: 0 points
Total: 8 1/2 points

(I had to guess at the points of the croissant since I couldn't find it anywhere. I finally took the points for a normal-sized pretzel croissant, added another one for the cheese and then divided it by two ^^'.)

Current Mood: blank

In this bento: Onigiri with tuna, tamagoyaki, cherry tomatoes, snow peas and orange wedges.

I really have to say I'm disappointed that even with light soy sauce my tamagoyaki always turns out light brown, nowhere as bright yellow as I have seen on other blogs :(. And I also have to admit I'm not a big fan of the taste, too ^^'. So maybe I'll just leave out the soy sauce and sugar in the future - it still looks nice rolled-up like that, so who will care that it's not straight up Japanese :p.

Other than that I'm really a fan of snow peas by now ^^!

Another week without posting ... So it's time for another summary!

Bento 132 - Rice, turkey and a Mutschel

Monday's bento: Rice, turkey, carrot-kohlrabi salad, a tangerine and a mini Mutschel. The orange bunny container holds a bit of butter for the Mutschel.

A Mutschel, by the way, is a yeast pastry that is unique to my hometown, Reutlingen. They are only available around Epiphany. I missed them a lot the past years when I wasn't at home during the time, and so I decided to make them myself this year. And of course I can't help making miniature versions for bento!

I actually did not eat this bento ... Because when I got on the bus that morning I dropped the box, and it opened and everything scattered all over the steps of the bus :(.

( +4 )

Bento 133 - Rice, salmon and two Mutscheln

Tuesday's bento: Rice, salmon, two Mutscheln, an egg flower and carrot-kohlrabi salad. Bunny container with butter hidden behind the egg flower.

Since I hadn't eaten the bento the day before I made almost the same again. This time I could eat it :p.

( +4 )

Bento 134 - De-constructed chicken sandwich

Wednesday's bento: Turkish bread, lettuce, rotisserie chicken, tomato and cucumber slices.

To avoid that the bread got mushy over night (and so it looked prettier) I just put everything in the box separately and then assembled it at meal time. That worked well ^^.

Bento 134 - Yakisoba, Mutscheln and tangerine

Thursday's bento: Yakisoba with bacon and vegetables, two Mutscheln and about one and a half tangerine in slices.

Yakisoba has become such a bento staple for me. It's easy to make, it's tasty even when cold and I also get to have some of it for dinner :p.

( +2 )

No bento on Friday because I wasn't feeling well, so I had no energy to cook.

Current Mood: sleepy

I didn't get around to posting this week, so here's a bento recap for this week!

( +4 )

Bento 129 - Yakisoba, egg, pineapple

Tuesday's bento: Yakisoba with various vegetables and bacon, heart-shaped egg, cherry tomatoes, baby pineapple slices.

Bento 130 - Onigiri, pineapple and chocolate

Wednesday's bento: Onigiri with salmon, pineapple cubes with chocolate leaves, cucumber stars, cherry tomatoes, Lindor balls.

( +3 )

Bento 131 - Pancake bento

Friday's bento: Pancakes, cherry tomatoes and carrots on skewers, cherries. The little bear contained cinnamon sugar to put on the pancakes.

Alas, the green container containing the cherries was not tight enough, and the juice of the cherries leaked ... Maybe it hadn't if I hadn't slipped on the ice and dropped the box but who knows ^^'. It still was tasty, though.

Current Mood: okay

Today's bento: Onigiri snowman with nori and carrot, tuna-yoghurt-tomato salad, tangerines, Babybel, marzipan hearts.
