My friend who is living in Japan at the moment has offered to send me some more lovely bento goodies! I just need to decide what I need.
I’ve been googleing bento accessories and there is so so much fun stuff its really hard to decide!
Today my bento is thrown together – so much so that it would make an ugly picture! It’s just salad and prawns! Next week I hope to get back to making Kawaii lunches.

Salad
I’ve been rubbish at making bento over the last few days!
On Monday I didn’t have enough food in the house to make anything to had to have an eat out lunch. Tuesday was just a salad and today everything is in separate pots and looks boring!
I have lettuce in one pot, carrots in another and cottage cheese in another! Really they could have all gone in one and been made to look nice!
I think tomorrow I will get back on the bento horse and start putting my lunches together again.
I think perhaps the problem might be that my lunch box is too small. My boyfriend has started to take the slightly larger blue lunch box to work leaving me with cute boxes that are a little bit teeny!
Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to start shopping for a lovely looking lunch box.............

Kawaii!!!
I just stumbled across this site and I think it’s really cool! www.jimspancakes.com/
Defo worth a look for some kawaii pancakes!

I am so impressed with http://www.mybentolicious.com/ blog at the moment.
The little bears are made with egg and coloured with turmeric!
What a very clever idea. I love it!
Grass separators
It’s all about the grass separators!
I’m so pleased with them they’ve really been helping out make my lunch look pretty without me having to spend ages on preparation!
Today really I wanted to make some rice into a pretty shape using my new shapers – again that my friend sent me from Japan but I was way too lazy!
So instead I have a salad of:
• Lettuce
• Carrot
• Prawns
• Cheese
• Lemon juice
I’m just so hungry now that I really want to eat it! I’m sure though that I can hold out 1.5 hours!
Today’s bento was about keeping the calories down though.
Yesterday the beans and avocado made my bento quite calorific and for a girl who is trying to shed a few pounds it’s not a good look!
(and ooops I ate a packet of crisps too! - so much for the diet!)

Food glorious food!
All I can think about today is food.
I found my camera so was able to take a picture of my bento which I'm really pleased about.
I’m really pleased with the grass as a bento box item. Its enabled me to separate layers of food and made the bland coloured brown beans look more appealing as they are separated off in a thin strip.
Today I have :
Carrots
Greek style beans (the last of them so I won't be having them again for a while! LOL)
Avocado and salad (beneath the cheese!)
A little cute sauce bottle of lemon juice
I think I’m really starting to get to grips with packing the box tight and full so that things don’t move around as when I got to work nothing had moved!

Falafel bento
Today I am quite pleased with my bento.
I did however misplace my camera so had to take the picture with my phone – so the image is not that good quality.
In my bento today was:
• Falafel
• Carrot sticks
• Avocado
• And a separate pot of humus
I used some cute little stickes that my friend sent me from Japan and placed them through the falafel to make it look cuter and separated the carrot sticks with some fake grass that my friend sent me.
Cute.
