[JFood]: Bento #11+12, Accessories and Links/Resources!☆ミ
Hey there! 
New week, new bentos ^____^
My last package with bento accessories arrived last week as well. Then I wanted to show you some photos of other people´s bentos, just so you know what is possible. There are GREAT ARTISTS XD out there :)
And finally as promised, I´ll provide links to bento ressources (recipes, where to buy bento stuff etc. pp.) ^-^
Hope you´ll enjoy this post and WARNING OF COURSE IT´S HELLA IMAGE HEAVY! XD
Here we gooohoo~♪
New Bento Accessories:
This is part 1 of the package. Let´s have a closer look at the items ^-^
VEEEEEEEEEEEERY cute obentou pikkusu ^^
This item helps you to make those cute octopus sausages. I´m sure you´ve seen those in a lot of animes/dramas already, nee? ^^
If you scroll down, you´ll see some photos of bentos with them in it :3
Another set of food picks ^-^V
Onigiri molds with bear, heart and star shape ^____^
My newest bento box!!!! <333
This box comes again with chopsticks ...
VERY cute chopsticks! ^-^
It´s a 2 tier bento box with a bit more than 600ml ^-^ (just like my blue bunny bento box ^^)
And everything together again. And yes, yes, now I´ve finally got enough bento stuff. I won´t buy anything in a while, although I was thinking about buying egg molds XD
New and cute food dividers <3
Okay enough of my new stuff, let´s have a look at the crappy bentos I made this weekend ^-^; ....
Bento #11:
Somehow I wanted sushi, but I didn´t have anything at home ... so just kappamaki XD .... but it was TASTY!! (*__*)
Top Tier: soy sauce and 3 kappamaki (sushi rolls with cucumber slices), seperated by a food divider
Middle Tier: Cucumber and paprika slices <3
Third Tier: Triangle-shaped yaki-onigiri ^^, 2 kappamaki
Right Tier: gebrannte Erdnüsse (perhaps yaki peanuts XD .. burned peanuts? ... what´s the name for it in English? XDDD), egg, egg-shaped salt cellar
Close-up. I was too lazy to fill gaps XD (Usually you´re supposed to fill every single gap, when packing a bento)
Another close-up. If you know that your bento box will not stand still, then don´t pack your soy sauce like I did XDDD ... otherwise everything will overflow XD
Bento #12:
YAY! I finally tried out fried rice and I LOVE it! And as everyone said it´s REALLY easy, even for someone like me ^^; ....
You can see the ingredients I used for it. I really only used what was in the refrigerator at that time XD
Egg (scrambled egg), Putenwurst sliced (can anyone please tell me how you call this in English?? I know ham for Schinken, but would turkey hen just be "hen" if you talk about "sausage"??! (T_T) ....), and carrot slices
Cold, old rice ^-^; .....
And there it is ... all ready and yummie.
Seasoned with sugar, pepper, salt and bright soy sauce.
And here´s the bento ^-^
Left Tier: Fried rice
Right Tier: Apple slices + Japanese rice crackers <3
Okay, because my bentos are pretty boring, I thought I should show you what other people do.
There are so great, yummie and cute bentos out there, it´s unbelievable ^^;
So here we go:
Other people´s bentos:
Death Note Bento!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (*__________________*)
OMG! That´s so cute! And here you can see the octopus sausages I was talking about earlier ^^
Cute again. I love that pink onigiri <3
Pikachuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ XD
Buta-chans! (*__*) XD
Here a "normal" bento. Very yummie :3
I really have to buy umeboshi!
Very colorful bento. OMG I love strawberries (*_*)
kaoko_cow´s bentos are sooo cute! ^-^ (umeboshi as spider = very creative)
One of my most fav bentos ever ^-^V
I don´t know why, but I just love this one ^-^;
.... are you hungry now? XD .....
