For some reason when I went to make my bento for tomorrow I abandoned my plan and ended up with something I'm not thrilled with. It'll be fine but it's not appealing to me very much right now and I'm too tired to deal with it. This container is $2.99 in the outdoor furniture area at Target BTW.







Top: Tiny sandwiches of cream cheese on banana bread, baby bells and cheese stars, cherry tomatoes, blackberries, blueberries.
Bottom (L): A hard boiled egg shaped like a bear, pickled ginger and black olives (I know, WTF was I thinking?)
Botton (R): Pickles, raisins, mandarin oranges. (OMG, seriously. I may have to make something else in the morning)


I'll be able to eat this but it strikes me more as a whole bunch of unrelated food I can nibble on than a cohesive meal.

LOL well it all looks good even if the veggie combos are a bit... odd. I love the bear shaped egg. So creative. And the sandwiches and cheese stars and berries look yummy! Your bentos always impress me. :)

How do you hard boil an egg into shapes?

When they are still warm from being boiled you put them in a special little mold that presses them into shape and let them cool in there. I have a bear mold and a bunny mold.

Beyond the idea it is not a cohesive meal, it does look very nice! Fantastic job!

You may think it's not cohesive, but just think of the variety you have, it's like a little mini-buffet.
