Bento #11 and #12

These bentos have broccoli from the freezer. It is organic and comes in steam packs, making it easy to prepare and add to a bento.

Bento #9 and #10

This is D Man's bento after a long absence from me making them. My sister was visiting from the States so we were busy extra busy playing travel guide and showing her all the local restaurants and lots of skiing. It's very simple: white rice with furikake, sausages cut to look like penguins (I didn't notice it but they had rolled to there sides, OOPS) a boiled egg shaped like a flower, edamame, strawberries, cheese shaped like candy, and a green salad with sesame dressing.

My husband's is exactly the same but with flower shaped sausages, and okaka instead of furikake.

Bento #8

This box is for onigiri. It has a small bottom layer with edamame, mikan, and fruit juice jello. Also a small spoon (the like that comes with ice cream) to eat the jello. On top are two salmon onigiri made with salmon left over from the night before. They are wrapped in plastic that keeps the seaweed away from the rice until it is opened. D Man said that is was great but the fruit juice didn't give the jello much flavor.

Bento #7

This is mostly the same as D Man's bento (they are from the same day). My husband likes plain rice, so he doesn't have any furikake. He does have the fun eggs. OK they look good but were a pain to make. It took a lot longer to boil them then the box said (if I understood the Japaneses right) .The eggs are on a pepper, lettuce, and dikon salad with sesame dressing. Also there is edamame, cherry tomatoes with a kola pick and the Buzz container has M&M's in it.
