# 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.

# 17 and # 18

I usually make half the bento the night before leaving only the rice for the morning. My husband likes to leave before 6 AM and I don't get up that early. I took this picture the night before and all he had to due was add the rice in the morning. That's why the rice container has it's lid on, it's empty.

Clockwise:
- Rice
- salad (dressing off picture)
- matchstick carrots, sour cream/blue cheese dip in the pink container, pickles onions, and half a mikan
- 2 sausages, a boiled egg, and okaka for his rice
For D Ma:
- 2 salmon onigiri
- matchstick carrots
- dip in the yellow container
- half a mikan
- boiled egg.

Happy Valentines Day #13

This was for my husband on Valentines Day. It has taken me so long to post it because of computer problems.

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 #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.

Bento #6

This is D Man's bento. The top layer has a salad with diakon and bell peppers in it and topped with three egg slices. He also has two small sausages with a koala pick in one, a small cup with edamame and a tree pick. In the Buzz Lightyear container are M&M's and the other one has sesame salad dressing. The bottom layer only has rice and in the lid part is furikake and nori. All of this is in a 100 yen blue bento. Added is a frozen jell cup with milk.
Here is a close up of the tree made with edamame.
I went shopping over the weekend in Hachanohe and at Toys R Us I found this mold to make eggs. I used 5 eggs separated to make 4 shapes. The white goes in first with a mold place inside it to make the shape and that is boiled. Next the yolk is added into the middle and then it is all cooked again. Next time I will fill the white part up more and oil it. I had a hard time getting the eggs out after cooking them.The shape not shone is a diamond.
