Bento 12/20/2010-12/23/2010

It was the last week of year 2010, and the bento theme was Christmas.

I tried to make a Christmas tree with seaweed, but it didn't come out nice. Sydney also had miso chicken with string beans and mix berries with Christmas picks.

This was the Christmas version Tic Tac Toe sandwich. I used the mini cookie cuttesr to make the yellow cheese candy cane and white cheese Christmas tree. I also packed the carrots with blue cheese dipping sauce and mix berries.  

I tried to make a Chritmas hat with furikake, but it didn't come out right. Then I put a candy cane decoration next to it. Sydney also had Korean BBQ beef rib with vegetable, and kiwi for the fruit.

This was the final bento for year 2010. I packed rice with furikake, teriyaki chicken with broccoli, seaweed and blueberries.  

Bento 12/9/2010-12/10/2010 & X'mas Afternoon Snack

Sydney finally went back to school last Thursday after 8 sick days. And it's time to make Christmas theme bentos.  

I made this Christmas tree bento for Sydney on Thursday. I used the tree cookie cutter to fill in with broccoli, and filled the space with rice, then took out the cookie cutter and used angel hair pasta and corn to decorate the Christmas tree. Along with the tree was miso chicken, strawberries and black berries.

Sydney had snowman and Santa Claus sandwich, baby carrots with salad dressing, fruit leather and cheeses stick on Friday. 

Santa was cut out with heart shape cookie cutter. Beard and the trim of hat were shredded cheese stick. I also put a small triangle ham to make Santa's hat.

 The scarf on snowman was made with leather fruit.
