I know that I’ve been seriously neglecting my daily posting of bento photos. And there’s a “stack” of them just waiting for me. Like a lot of you I’ve been busy with household chores and my recent obsession with outdoor repairs and yardwork.

You can always tell when I’ve been shopping at Costco because I post repetitive bento boxes with similar contents!

I was creating a Hello Kitty squidoo lens for the Kawaii Bento Club when I suddenly realized that I do not have any Hello Kitty bento boxes! I was shocked as I have quite a stash of cute bento gear and miscellaneous Hello Kitty stuff. I guess in my mind I merged the two collections and assumed that at least one of the boxes represented our “Queen of Kawaii”… Hello Kitty! But I was wrong and very dissapointed in myself.

I must be in a “roasting” phase because today’s featured bento box contains broccolini that is prepared using the same roasting recipe as yesterday’s roasted broccoli post . This time I was able to add the parmesan so today’s veggie isn’t as naked. The broccolini though is a bit daintier than the it’s robust cousin so it took no time at all turn crispy brown. I caught it just in time before it started to burn. Read the rest of this entry →

Today’s featured bento box features the last piece of 5 spice roasted chicken , a thigh. Saba Man’s lunch needed more, so additional protein is a triangle shaped fried egg. There are 2 mini musubi, one wrapped in nori and the other with sesame/seaweed furikake. Steamed asparagus, olives and tomatoes fill out the rest of box!
The egg was fried then steamed in a triangle shaped cookie cutter. I didn’t photograph using the triangle, but I did for a heart shape!

I really enjoy packing this round box. It seems no matter what I add, it looks ok. I think the round box just lends itself to nice bento presentation. I recommend a round box for those who are doubting their ability to pack both healthy and pretty bento lunches.
Bento Contents: Miso Egg, Olives, Champagne Grapes, Carrots, Fig, and Strawberries. I ‘ve lined the box with green leafy lettuce as it’s a nice filler and great as a partition between some items.
