Tapenade and Turkey Bento

Good Monday Morning! The super moon was super last night and back to school is around the corner. I deconstructed a slider the other day and here I have deconstructed a turkey sandwich. Plus crackers with homemade tapenade. The bread is homemade too.

What's inside of the chickadee dee? Lawry's seasoned salt! A must have for a turkey with mayo sammie.

Butter Sandwiches Bento

A chicken drumette, Juliet tomatoes from the garden, sharp cheddar cheese cubes, wasabi mayo in the smiling apple, and Kyoto candy from Japan.

Put A Tiger In Your Tank Bento

I went to the zoo. Well, actually I went to the zoo gift shop on my way home last week and bought a tiger for Si. 

In celebration of the tiger for Si, I made a mighty put a tiger in your tank bento complete with a pastrami sandwich on sourdough bread and a nice tray of berries and grape tomatoes with some lovely Bob's Blu Cheese Dressing.

It's good to be plastic: a story of Mr. Lion and Mr. Mouse

There once was a lion who dreamed of a brie and ham baguette sandwich. He slept in peace until...

A very small radish mouse under a pineapple bush woke him. And the lion was so angry he said he would eat the little mousy just in spite.

Mr. Mouse yelled from his mini greens home. No no Mr. Lion, take my olives instead.

But Mr. Lion said he did not like olives, and he eyed a few tomatoes instead.

I'll take these. Mr. Lion roared.

Yes please, said Mr. Mouse. Wouldn't you like a few blueberries too?

And please help yourself to a raspberry, Mr. Lion, said Mr. Mouse.

Mr. Lion ate all the raspberries and was quite happy.

He was feeling mighty full now but wanted a crisp something...

Perhaps a radish would taste refreshing right now, said Mr. Lion.

Wait, cried Mr. Mouse, that ham and brie baguette could be yours.

Mr. Lion considered.

And then Judy ate the radish and the sandwich, and Mr. Lion laughed a hearty laugh.

The berries were mighty sweet today, he told Mr. Loaf Bento Box in the soapy water of the kitchen sink.

Jicama Mumms Bento

This is Wednesday's bento and yes, that is a whole wheat bagel (good) filled with pastrami (bad) and two little pigs in blankets with a side of mustard. Bon Jour! Ms. Judy!

Love this box, my smiling Loaf.

The bottom layer we have blueberries, carrots and celery, pecans, hummus, and a lion hiding amongst the jicama mumms.

I was so tempted to put eyes on that bagel.

As seen on What's for lunch at our house: what's for lunch Wednesday.

The Groundhog sees his shadow bento

And that means 6 more weeks of winter. It also means winter is over half-way done. So yay! Happy Groundhog Day!

This groundhog was made with peanut butter and nutella (Oh btw Happy Nutella Day is today!) and that's buttah for the whites of his eyes. I really envisioned something a little different than this. But this is what came out. It's all on my homemade sourdough mini loaf. 

Gamene over at bentozen requested the sourdough recipe, so I might try to post it someday. I sort of do it differently every time. Also Gamene is throwing an outrageous give-away, if you're into bento, check it out.

The rest of this bento is a deviled egg (I know - my old stand by) and bacon. For fiberous fun I added a sliced purple carrot and a little yellow carrot cut into sticks. And tangerine juicy jellies. Actually it looks like the groundhog is eyeing the candy in this pic.

Bon Jour! Chicken salad sandwich bento

On whole wheat with fresh fruit and a Bubbies pickle wrapped in plastic so my fruit doesn't taste like a Bubbies pickle. I think The Loaf is eyeing my bread box.
