In the chinese store, we found some packs of Kimchi Nori. My cousin said it's very good, so we bought it... Cause we made onigiri for lunch, we've decided to take a pack with us. We wrapped it on the onigiri and took a bite... It was so hot!!!! (hot = spicy, not warm) But, we couldn't stop eating it.

In this bento: Onigiri, one stuffed with tuna and sesame, and one with terriyaki beef. Then salad with cherry tomatoes, sweet bites and corn. Corn actually tastes very nice in salad.

Extra help, extra bentobox

My cousin Mariska was helping me for a week, so I had to make an extra bentobox for the lunch. Luckely, I've just bought a new Hello Kitty bentobox, so it wasn't a problem.

Pastasalad with olive oil, olives, and tuna and a salad with sweet bites, cherry tomatoes and cucumber flowers and of course, a hello kitty egg.

Like I already told, my dear cousin is staying with us and of course he likes a more male bento... I was to enthousiast adding cute things...

So, especially for him, this male bento with tortillia and salad...

Of course I needed to put in some cute animal picks... :)

I've read on different websites, that tortillia wraps are great for in the Bento. So, I tried...

Actually this was the first time I had cold tortillia, and I really didn't know what I could put in it.. I'm glad we have a fridge at work, so I've made tortillia with smoked salmon, crabsalad and some salad with cherry tomatoes, carrots and pickels on picks and some cut sweet bites (sweet bell peppers)

I think it was quitte nice....

It's hard to decide how much so food is enough, especially when you're, like me, used to have bread. So, I think it is really hard to decide how much other kind of food I need to take for the lunch...

This is another experiment... And of course, it was too much again!!!! I think I should save a lot of food if I just know how much is enough....

Pastasalad with spicy sauce, salad with cucumber, cherry tomatoes and Hello Kitty egg...

The snack Bento contains, mango, melon, grapes and strawberries, for the summer feeling...

Enjoy

Melissa really enjoyes her own Bento... She really likes the onigiri. On this picture she has one with tuna and one grilled with Miso... The Miso onigiri, also a receipt from the book, are her favorite. Of course we make small ones for her...

On this piture I forgot her Hello Kitty cuterly set, so she needed to use a grown up fork... But now, I know I need to check if her cuterly set is in her Hello Kitty bento bag... (still have to learn a lot)

Like you see, I really love Hello Kitty...

This snack Bento was really an experiment, just to find out what would be nice to use in the Hello Kitty veggie cutters... And the mango turned out to be very nice..

Manderin, grapes, melon, kiwi and mango...
