Posted on April 10, 2011 by Debra

Okay first off, Saba Man says these look like sausages.  This was not my intention.  I wanted them to look like medallions.

What do you say?

Caprese Blossoms Bento 16

Posted on June 04, 2010 by Debra

The other day I posted a bento featuring tomato jellies for a caprese salad and I  wrote that I had regretfully cubed the jelly instead of cutting out flowers.  Well I made up for it with today’s version.

The “Last of” Bento Box 4

Posted on November 19, 2009 by Debra

Not the last bento box, but the “last of” some of my usual bento box fillers.    Normally I would make a  leftovers omuraisu with of all the little tidbits, but this time the bits and pieces where large enough to be presentable without an egg omelet and rice disguise.  So this snack box contains the “last of” tomatoes, falafel, broccolini, mozza pearls, and the cute little baby potatoes!  Which I must say were very sweet for plain white potatoes!  I ‘m making a note to get more of those, but for the life of me, I can’t remember where I bought them!  Maybe these truly are the “last of”.

I thought I would post another past photo of the MRB , since it’ coming with me on the high seas. My plan to keep blogging may be thwarted by those same high seas, but we shall see, keep your fingers crossed that all anti motion sickness meds workfor me.
 
Keep those Bento Box contest entries coming. I’ll answer as soon as i can.

I Get a Kick from Champagne! Comments Off

Posted on August 28, 2009 by Debra


Well, Champagne grapes that is. I bought a huge container so my last few bentos all have them packed in there.
Not complaining;
“just sayin”.
 
I’m not a fan of grapes (please, no hate mail), but these little cuties are perfect for bento boxes. Adds texture and interest. I highly recommend them for filler material; if not used as a main ingredient. They taste good and they don’t have seeds!
