This bento is from... like... two weeks ago. I know, I know. I'm wayyy behind over here! We had a camping trip the weekend before last and everybody got sick. I think A actually brought the cootie home the week before that and we just made it worse with the weekend away. Regardless, it did not make for a good time for me the week of Thanksgiving. I managed to get all of my Thanksgiving cooking done (on time!) and it was a success but I was completely burned out and A missed a lot of school. At any rate, this is the one bento that I missed out on documenting in between... Uh... Whatever I posted last and today.

Babybel cheese with a butterfly cut-out, edamame, diced fruit, spiced pretzels, hot dog mums, and fried rice (with egg, veggies, green onions and sesame seeds)... |

This panda pick... I loved him! Somebody stole him from her bento though and he didn't come back home. :( |
This box was a hit and she was so excited to inform me that she'd eaten the whole thing. Well, except for the cheese, which she shared with her friend. :)
I haven't done Muffin Tin Monday or anything fun with the kids (aside from Thanksgiving and Christmas decorating) in what seems like forever! Finally, though, I feel like I am on the upswing with this cold. Thank goodness. Being sick is the worst!
I'm out of my bento funk now, too, (I think... I hope!!) since I can start making Christmas bentos. I made the first one of the year today and it was pretty fun. I'll post it tomorrow.
Oh no, that panda was cute too. How did you make the hot dog mums?
ReplyDeleteI know, wasn't he? :( It made me sad. The mums are super easy. You cut the hot dogs into shorter pieces and then cut a grid pattern into the cut ends - just a few mm down with each slit. Then pop them into your boiling water and cook as usual like with the octodogs. A loves 'em. :)
