Bento:
-Quiche lorraine
-Apple pie
-Corn salad, salad leaves, carrot flowers.
I’m trying a new idea: plan the meals of the week, do the shopping accordingly, and try to stick to the plan…
From now on it worked okay if you omit that I swapped a few meals and missed one. I’ll see if I’m able to continue this method (if it suits me of course)!

Bento content:
-Bagels stuffed with cheese cream and salad
-Cereals with strawberries, dried fig and sultanas.
These bagels are home-made and a bit little. Well this was my first thought. In fact there were the perfect size to enter into the bento box special onigri. Yes, I know my meals are not specially Japanese. But, what I like is the variety not to fixed on one particular cuisine. These bagels were respectively made with cinnamon and sultanas, dried fig and sunflower seeds.
I had them also at breakfast with cream cheese (ours don’t have any salt) and strawberries. This is just a wonderful combination! You should definitely try!
Bento content:
-Salad leaf
-Omelette made with thinly sliced bacon and potatoes
-Carrot, tomato with salad cream or horseradish, mushroom with chilli centre, cabbage finely sliced.
Yesterday, I was ill. We were meant to go to the swimming pool, but somehow I managed to close my eyes for five minutes and…I was awaken long after with a big bowl of pumpkin soup with a few slices of vinerla sausages floating that Bisounours_51 had prepared for me. So this morning, when I woke up, I sighed. No bento today, so I’ll have to buy some take away. I opened the fridge for my milk and…I saw my bento box in the fridge! My dear Bisounours_51 had prepared me a bento for my lunch! I was so happy! The taste was really great. The only thing was that he didn’t cut the omelette into tiny pieces so I had to find a knife.
I was really happy! Who wouldn’t!
Bento content:
-Courgette sticks with basil
-Turnip stick spiced with hot curry
-Ginger flavoured rice
-Two raw salmon flowers
-Carrot sticks with cinnamon spice
-Pepper flavoured mushrooms
-Broccoli tree.
All of these lying on a salad leaf.
The veggies were ceased with their spices in a hot pan for a few minutes. In case, I would be hungry before arriving home, I prepared a “snack” bento (it’ a 300ml box):
Bento content:
-Nutella stuffed vanilla rice ball
-Kiwi, mandarin,apple and pear slices.
It was really tasty. I enjoyed the vanilla rice stuffed with chocolate spread. The only thing which was weird is that the mandarin flavour was there too! Next time I should pack them apart or in a way they won’t touch other things.
I enjoy these snack bentos. It’s a little treat as I enjoy so much fruits and since I’m grumpy when hungry…I’d rather eat! Oh, it’s only for the sake of the others…
Bento content:
-Salad flower with tomato centre and “vienerla” sausage centre
-Coral lens
-Grated carrot and cabbage
-Flower of fruits : pear, apple, mandarin, banana with chocolate spread.
This bento is for me the real spirit of bento. This bento is not my creation, but a present from Bisounours_51. A bento made with love for me. And what was the best is that the flower did hold in place through long trip to work. This day, I really understood the reason why some mums can be waking up so early to prepare a colourful and artistic bento for the smile of their kids. I can understand their pleasure. And the taste of your meal is so much better when it has been done lovingly. This incites me to do pretty bento to share. And now, I understand the pleasure my mom has when preparing us meals…it’s her way to say how much she cares about us. (My dad is really lucky as my mum cooks pretty well!)
I enjoyed the fruity tier the most: the crunchy and soft texture of the different fruits that were mixed. The chocolate spread gave a very delicate taste.
I’m such a lucky person! *Jealous?*
