First two bento pictures!

Ok so this first one isn't my first bento ever. It's just the first I ever took a picture of. It's my second ha! I made this one for my mother in November of 08.

So far I've just concentrated on making my bentos look interesting and pretty when you open them to eat. I'll try for more complex things later...when I get braver.

Here's the first (second):


Contents -
Bottom tier: mini cheesecake with chocolate, globe grapes and apple bunnies.
Top tier: fried rice, edamame, chicken meatballs and a chick bottle with soy sauce.
Side car: mixed greens salad, red onions, craisins, sunflower seeds and cherry tomatoes.







And now for the next. I haven't had time to take pictures lately and with my kitchen being repainted and new cabinets I just didn't have time to bento too much.

This is today's bento:
Bottom tier: brown rice with furikake (yes there's rice under there, I just love furikake) edamame, asparagus, beef with garlic and lots of onions (they're all under the beef)
Top tier: mixed greens salad, cherry tomatoes, HK has a bit of olive oil, slice strawberries and green grapes.







I was supposed to use this one for a drawing on the adventuresinbentomaking.com forum and I completely forgot the card that needs to go with it. Argh. I'll try again tomorrow!
