Bento number ?????

Often, when I look at other bento blogs, I see the bentomaker knows exactly what number the bento is... And, when they reach bento number 100, of course they make it a bit special...

Now I was wondering how many bento's I've made and of course how long it will take before I reach number 100... I think I just need some time to count all the bento's...

Do you know how many bento I've made???

Picky colleague

My colleague is always looking at our bento with big eyes... Not because he envy us, but because he doesn't like the things we put in it... he doesn't like rice or vegetable salad...

Yesterday, when I went shopping, I saw chicken sausage in the store and it looked yummy to me... So, I've bought it and thought it would be nice with some potatoessalad. Unfortunately I didn't had time to make my own salad and I couldn't find potatoessalad in the store, so instead, I've bought beef salad (yes, the ready to use stuff) and used it for this bento for my colleague.

Today his day started some kind of rough and he got quitte irritated about some things... So he was glad to see we thought about him... We really cheered him up with this bento... And like a miracle, he said he almost likes everything in it...

The faces I've made with some nori punches, they are really cute...

We've used surimi and cucumber in the sushi, one of my favorite sushi.. Again, this bento was too much for lunch...

Side disches: Strawberry jelly with strawberries, nice and sweet, Cucumber salad, marinated with mirin, rice vinegar and salt, with some nori for garnish and a bear egg...
