Yesterday's and tomorrow's bento

I didn't had much time when I made yesterday's bento, but I managed to make one anyway! But with bread instead of rice.

Bread with mayo, pepper, roastbeef and pickles. Brie cheese, crackers and grapes.

Tomorrow's bento is: Onigiri with soy sauce, chicken. Edamame beans, "cheese/turkey-roll", ladybug-baby-tomatoes, crackers.

I think my bentos are a bit boring... But I've ordered a lot of bento-equipments, I hope I get them soon, so I can make some cooler bentos.

My first real bento!

I was out dining yesterday - dim sum! We ordered a little too much, so we took the rest home with us, perfect to use in bentos. So today I packed my little bento with that. I should have had more vegetables in it, but there wasn't room for it... I made it out of different dim sum-dishes, I think it was pork, beef, and scampi, some sugar peas and a onigiri. Then I decorated with kumquats, ham, cheese, scallion, parmesan cheese, ketchup and nori.

Anyway, here is how it looked:
Before decoration..

And after..
It's quite a difference, isn't it?

My first bento!


This was my first attempt making a bento. Or, I found out that "bento" means "lunch box", and this was my supper, on a square-shaped plate, so guess this is a little cheating, but at least I got a little practice.

Onigiris, ladybug-tomato, broccoli, minicarrots, ham with cheese and nori eyes, soy sauce, sugar peas with sea salt, kumquats, nuts and dried fruits.

My first bento! What do you think?

Hello!

Hello! My name is Li-Mei. This is my bento-blogg. I've just started with bentos, so I guess my first bentos won't be too pretty, but I hope I'll "get there". So please bear with me. :)

Well..hmm...yeah - and I love comments! *hint hint*
