BENTO!

I know this post isn't about Sasha or Cassie. But I've got a new hobby this week. Bento!
I was inspired by the following links:

I had already considered trying it out. I bought a Mr.Bento set a few weeks earlier at the local japanese supermarket. Then another trip to the japanese supermarket netted me a few bento sets.
So without further ado, my first attempt at bento. Isn't it pretty?


The bento's contain the following:
Rice with pickled ginger and teriyaki seaweed, furikake packet hidden under cucumber and carrots, black beans.
Rice crackers, ritz crackers, 3 nutella and peanut butter sandwichs pressed and cut into flower shapes, and a snack tray of almonds, sunflower seads, chocolate chips, cheerios, under a rice cracker.
My first attempt at a 'bento' type lunch ever, made for my daughter. Hope she likes it as she hates school lunch.
