Salmon and Dumplings Bento

Leftover take-out from my fave Japanese restaurant makes a bento lunch at my job. Teriyaki salmon with shrimp dumplings and little sauce on the side.

It's funny how happy work can be when lunchtime looks like this!

A Grade Ahh Bento

A Mr. Bento bento + A thermos of tea = Grade A Bento

Do you need a description?

Well OK - Here it goes.

Walnuts and chocolate - ahh!

Carrots and cabbage - ahh the next day.

Freshly made rice - ahh filling the tummy.

Little chicken dumplings - ahh yummy in the tummy.

Not just a Grade A Bento, 

A Grade Ahh Bento.

Leftovers, sigh, leftovers. 

This couldn't have been any better. From a Kai Lana Sushi and Seafood lunch with the addition of tiny red tomatoes and a hardy white wine.

Stocking up on dumplings

I was reading gamene's bentozen blog and got the idea of stocking the freezer lader with these.

Today I made rice balls and dumplings and I blogged about the whole dumpling affair over at Foodie Judy.

I really meant to make bags for my new bento boxes, but that will have to wait.

Happy March First!
