Dog Bento

I was very busy yesterday, had a little time just before we went to bed, turned on my notebook but the internet connection was so slow, the photos won't upload. Lol, so I went off to bed instead. :P

Bentos today were done on Monday. I was sick that day and just wanted to cook them a simple lunch, but I ended up making them a simple charaben instead. -_-

Doggy is made from rice, nori and ham.

The other food in the box are teriyaki meatballs, broccoli and strawberries. Meatballs are from my bento stash in the freezer, all I had to do was to glaze them in teriyaki sauce.

In the evening that day, I was feeling a lot better, so I made them a similar version of the doggy, using bread.

I also packed in some grapes.

This dinner bento was my first meal that day, no appetite for anything earlier. There's rice, prawn omelette, basil pork and capsicum. :)

White Rabbit & Cheshire Cat Bento

It's Lewis Carroll on the 27th of January, I was planning to do an Alice in Wonderland themed lunch yesterday to join in the linky at Bent on Better Lunches. I woke up sick, so I just did a simple charaben yesterday. I'm feeling a lot better today, so I did up the bentos I had planned to do yesterday. :)

Fork & Spoon Yakisoba Bento

I did not do up a blog post yesterday because I was sick. :( Other than fetching and sending my boys to School, cooking lunch and dinner, I was practically sleeping on the bed the whole day, hidden under my blanket. :P It's a relief that my boys were able to go around their daily routine fairly independently, popping in to check on me once in a while, lol. :)

IMG_3770
This was done last Thursday. I had this set of fork and spoon cutter for a long time, but never used them before. -_- Lol, yah, I do tend to hoard stuff, I guess I need to spend some time to dig out my cutters and use them for my bentos.

IMG_3773
For lunch, they had yakisoba stir-fried with pork, broccoli, strawberries and fries.

IMG_3778
I packed some yakisoba-pan for myself. Lol, this is one very weird combination the Japanese came up with, but it does taste quite nice.
