The thing I love about bento

Is now wonderfully and beautifully organised the food is and how by organising it in such a way it looks beautiful and very, very tasty.

Take http://www.flickr.com/photos/aylanah/410833816/ for example. Simple food that looks stunning.

Not a tuna nicoise bento

Today I made a cute bento of tuna, potatoes, sweetcorn, mangetout and salad (on the bottom layer)

I'm currently munching through it now and it's very tasty!

I've added some lemon juice and pepper to it for taste.

My eyes are now glued to the screen!

Bento forgetfulness

Its been a while since I made a proper pretty bento. I have made bento's but nothing nice enough to write on the blog about.

The other night however I did make sushi for friends with miso broth which I think went down well.

I visited the large Chinese supermarket and found that they had a really good Japanese section - bigger than I remember it and I felt like a kid in a candy store! It was amazing!

As all of the bits and pieces were only for a dinner party I have plenty left over and think I might have vegetarian sushi and miso broth for dinner tonight. mmmmmmmmmm I can't wait!

First day at work

Today I made a lovely "first day at your new job" bento! Sadly in my haste to get out of the house and not be late I didn't take any pictures :(

My friend Kiki who is currently living in Japan sent me some really really really lovely bento items over as a gift and I used them today. Perhaps getting ready for my second day of work will take less time and I'll get the chance to take some lovely pics!
