My husband and I shared this bento of maki sushi. This was my first time making these. The mama-san at school gave something similar to my husband at Christmas. I recreated it base on a photo I had taken. They have egg, a lettuce leaf, tuna with mayo, asparagus, and crab meat.


D Man got a maki roll, strawberries, and a salad. He ate everything but the lettuce.


I was babysitting for a friend today. Her little girl goes to Japanese preschool and Thursday was a national holiday with no school. We went to story time and had these bentos after. L (the girl) saw me making Little Bits sandwich shaped like girls and asked for one too. She was crestfallen when I told her I had already made her sandwich until I showed her the butterfly. The sandwiches are plain ham. Also included are strawberries, star and moon apples colored with food dye, little pick to help eat the apples, small cheeses, and Little Bit has quartered cherry tomatoes. L was very excited about her bento saying her mom never makes her cute bento, because she is to slow an eater.

# 19 Chiken x3

We had chicken for supper last night. I used the leftovers to make three bentos today. I am only counting it as one bento because they all have the same things in them.

Mr. B's lunch in a 850 ml Lunch Amuse box (I found it yesterday for 500 yen on clearance.)
- rice with okaka to add
- a green salad with eggs
- 2 strawberries
- chicken thigh
- off picture dressing and a mikan
This lunch was all packed the night before and refrigerated over night. Mr. B can microwave it before lunch by taking out the bowl of salad and strawberries.

D Man's lunch packed into a 660 ml Linda Linda box (I found it yesterday for 500 yen)
- cut up chicken
- an egg
- strawberries
- green beans
- mikan
- hiding under the bear cap are marshmallows.
- rice with furikake in the lid


Little Bit's lunch is packed into her favorite box. A 300 ml Anpanman box.
- green beans
- heart shaped egg
- rice ball with a nori punched out face
- strawberries
- cut up chicken

She ate everything but the beans. With them she ate 2 and the rest she only ate the inside beans. Normally this is enough for her, but after she finished she was still hungry and ate a couple handfuls of goldfish crackers. I guess gymnastics class made her very hungry today.
