This is the first post of my bento blog. ♥
I do not have a picture of bento #1 or #2, how sad. )': Bento #1 was a rather pathetic attempt, two riceballs filled with tuna and wrapped with nori on a bed of lettuce. The decorations did not stay in place, the riceballs sucked quite badly. I had to buy cafeteria food after downing half of my first riceball.
Bento #2 was made earlier last week, while I was scraping for time in the morning. It had a sandwich sliced diagonally, with deli sliced turkey, provolone cheese, and spicy mustard inside. The decorations I made were a nori teddy bear face, a nori star, and two wiener flowers. I did have the camera, but the memory card was full so I couldn't snap a picture of it before school.
Moving on to the bento I completed today.
♥ M E N U ♥
* zephyrhills half-pint water bottle
* thai-style beefy wraps
* pack of preserved tofu with seasonings
Please excuse the slightly bad-quality photo. My digital camera does not shoot as sharply as I would like it to, and I was a bit too lazy to sharpen the image up after adjusting layers and resizing it on Photoshop.
Anyway, the beefy wraps were slightly adapted from a recipe on Cooking Cute. They were quite good, says Carissa. I think I could have put more fish sauce to improve the kick from the seasoning I put on the flour tortillas. (I had one roll, then traded the rest of my bento for Carissa's sandwich while proclaiming the godly status of her mom's orgasmic sandwichs. D:)
I hardly touched my bottle of water, I went to buy a can of orangeade because I was in the mood for a bit of flavor that lunch. However, the half-pint bottles that Zephyrhills produces are quite cute, and good for a bento pack. It is also a nice amount of water for one lunch. I found that I didn't even finish my bottle when I had packed one the last time I brought a bento to school.
I didn't eat the pack of preserved tofu either, though I think it would have gone quite well with the wraps. My dad's friend brought a large pack of them over from China, and I found that they were in cute little bento-sized packets. ♥ They're quite yummy and flavorful as a snack, so I shall pack one again when I have a bento with the majority of it being a less flavorful food.
I found that the wraps were quite large and took up all of the room in my bento --- even the room I had wanted to save for perhaps a stick of edamame or two. :( I shall make use of my removable divider for that bento box eventually, though I think I shall use my Chi Chai Monchan bento for tomorrow's meal --- I will probably be packing Yakisoba. Mm!
( Thai-Style Beefy Wraps )
I shall post photos of my bento collection tomorrow or Saturday when I have time. ♥ Entry coming tomorrow!mood:  bouncy music: hoshi no koe - through the years and far away |
