Bento 1/31/2011-2/4/2011

Happy Chinese New Year!! This is the year of rabbit.

                                     

Monday, Sydney had scallion omelet, broccoli beef and strawberries with bunny picks.

I made a rice seasoning bunny with a bow tie, but the bunny looked more like Yorkshire Terrier :( Sydney also had fish cake, vegetable and grapes. And of course, bunny picks.

We had an ice storm on Wednesday morning, so Sydney had a day off. It was also the Chinese New Year Eve. Our family got together to have traditional Chinese dinner with hot pot, eggs, fish and dumplings. I packed two bunny rice balls, egg, floral print fish cake and blue berries.

Friday, Sydney had grilled cheese sandwich with bunny cheese on top, salmon salad and blue berries for lunch.  

Bento 1/10/2011-1/14/2011

I mentioned last time that I was out of bento ideas. I still can not think about any good bento theme. I ordered some picks last week, maybe I can get some good ideas after receiving my orders. 

I made some pan fried dumplings on Sunday night. Sydney asked me if she can have some dumplings for school on Monday. So I packed three dumplings in the bento box and they took almost half of the space. Sydney also had carrots with salad dressing and blue berries.

I made a happy face today!! Sydney had rice, Taiwanese sausage, fishcake and Japanese radish for lunch

Sydney had a snow day on Wednesday. I made a ham & cheese croissant sandwich, snow angel cucumber, mixed fruits for Sydney and Vienna after a crazy snow fight in the backyard.

Thursday, I packed a grilled cheese sandwich with snow angel fruit leather, carrots with blue cheese dipping and fruit.



Sydney had rice with furikake seasoning, BBQ beef, tofu, mushroom and grapes on the pick on Friday.
