first bentos!
i've been watching this community for awhile:
bentolunch, and i have to say that i've fallen in love with bentos!! ^__^ i don't know that i will have much time to devote to making beautiful bento lunches, but so far it's been a great (and delicious) stress-reliever. and it beats reading for contracts...
here's tomorrow's lunch:
the most creative bento i've made yet. tried for a "shooting star theme" --
lower: leftover pad thai, dried apricot filled star-shaped onigiri with black sesame seeds and salt, carrot filler, plus cilantro flakes, black sesame, and bean threads in a hard-to-see attempt at a shooting star.
upper: star-shaped foil contains dried cranberries and walnuts to go with the pears poached in orange juice with cinnamon and brown sugar on bed of salad greens. fishie contains some of the poaching juice, plus carrot filler.
plus a taro mochi! yum!
lower: pad thai leftovers with leftover carrot curls and cilantro sprinkles (dried, sadly)
upper: salad greens layered with lemon pepper, grape tomatoes, carrots, grapes. fishie contains lemon pepper infused lemon juice as means of salad dressing.
dessert: taro mochi!
