On easter sunday, my friends came over for making wedding gifts for the wedding of my brother in law. So, I thought it would be nice to make them a treat...

So, I made this large fruitsalad for them. This was the first time my friends saw me making these things and they were quitte surprised I have so much time to spend making these things. Of course I won't tell them it only took minutes to wash and cut all these fruits....

Fruitsalad contains mango, melon, bleu berries, grapes, strawberries and kiwi.

I have been very busy at work. We were so succesfull this first quarter, I've decided I deserve a little treat... So, I went to Jlist again and here's the result...

New egg molds, onigiri molds, hello kitty muffinmold, new hello kitty bento box, sauce containers and nori face cutters (these are so funny).

In the store, I found some cans of rio mare tuna especially for pasta. I've just cooked some pasta and put in the can (it was much too much for myself, I think it's supposed to be a salad for 2-3 persons) hustle a little and then it's just finished for eating. Love the taste...

I've cut my bear egg in half, so it looks like I have 2 bears.... It's so nice the molds have 2 same sides....

So, Pasta salad with tuna (from can), bear egg and fruitsalad with melons, grapes and strawberries. To make the flowers, I've used a cookie mold... workes quite well...

I'm really glad we have a microwave oven at our office, so, I can use just left over fried rice for my bento.

Of course I need to put in some extra cute cat nori. for the fruitsalad I used Hello Kitty Melon, this workes better then the mango. Unfortunately, my daughter saw then and took some to eat, so I still had one left...

Fried rice with cat nori, sweet bite bell peppers and cherry tomatoes.

I've bought some paperpunches and used them for the nori. On this Onigiri with corn, I've put some cat nori. I've also bought a dog punch, but it's a bit larger. Workes fine and much cheaper then the nori punches...

For lunch we had, Onigiri with tuna, onigiri with cornsprinkles (made myself) and a salad with sweet bites..

In case you wonder what I put in the Hello Kitty container.. Of course it's saladsauce. I like to use different, so I don't remember which one I used here...

My cousin called this my Hello Kitty overload.

I was just curious what would look nice if I'd use the Hello Kitty veggie cutters... So, I've used them on the melon and cucumber. Because I was having pancakes, I thought it would be nice to see if the Hello Kitty mall works.... Well, oke, it looks a bit overloaded... :P

Pancakes and cherry tomatoes, salad with cucumber, bell peppers and corn and a fruitsalad with melon, grapes and mango.

I like to use a lot of different ingredients and I like to make my own sandwiches with different bread types... This turkisch bread I've bought in a turkisch store is really tastfull.

I've put on some spicy sauce, smoked chicken and salad. As a side dish I've choosen for a small fruit salad, with Mango, grapes and kiwi. (didn't had much in the fridge).
