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.

Octopus's Garden Bento

The Mister was super upset with me. Aren't the eyes suppose to be on the side? Well, I said, these are baby octopi. He was quite upset that the clams were too big (in relation to other things) and what's that purple stuff?

Well, I said, (after fussing with this Tiffin bento long enough), it is what it is. And then he ate it.

After that, he wasn't so grumpy.
