# 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.

#15 and #16

These bentos were for today. I haven't been making them for a while, because my friends and I have started a "preschool" for our 2 year olds and I have been the main one arranging everything.

I tried something new that I saw on lunchinabox.net. Cooking a sausage with a quail egg in the middle to look like a sun. I had trouble figuring out how to get the egg cooked completely and and ended up turning the it over. The yolk was coved in the white so mine don't look like suns. Also included is a salad, half a mikan, takun (pickled white radish), and sesame dressing. For the white rice my son has a package of furikake.


Last week at Homeac this bento set went on sale. It is made by Thermo and was1980 yen instead of regular 3480. I had been eyeing it for a while.
- green salad (dressing not pictured)
- potato and broccoli soup
- white rice
- 2 sausage/egg suns, half a mikan, pickled onions, and a container with ketchup.

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 #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.
