Deviled Eggs and Salad Bento

Rub a dub dub

New gear, new year!

I purchased some adorable little containers for bento and filled them with salad-friendly accouterments. 

chia, salad dressing, and cashews

Mixed organic salad greens, deviled eggs, a squeeze of lime in the yellow part. From the garden last summer some dried Juliet tomatoes, and cabot cheese with the animals in the green part. Honey crackers, and a couple of hard Jolly Rogers candies in the beige part. 

Put it all together and what do you got?

Juliet Tomatoes = Perfect Bento Food

I suppose this photo might be double posted to my other blog seeing how I grew these myself in my kitchen garden. And for those of you who aspire to grow your own grape tomatoes, but don't have piece of land to do so, these were grown in a pot, both of them, the Juliet tomatoes and the purple cayenne peppers. 

I am enamored with these little tomatoes. They are an abundant producer of sweet meaty tomatoey flavor. I must pick everyday now, but we will easily go through a small bowl daily. Eaten as snacks, in salads, in pasta sauce, the Juliet tomato is quite versatile. And they are the perfect bento food!

Rabbit Snack Attack

Pom looks like porn when you're hungry.

Dear Blogger, 

You have been giving me a headache lately. I try and try again and try a few more times to download pictures to no avail. So I try again next week and the week after, and yes finally the pictures appear. But now this bento is ancient history. Don't do that again.

Your faithful bogged down blogger,

J

Dear Bento People,


How's life? Did you know I actually eat green salads? I do. Even with chips and dip bento, I eat a large strawberry and baby greens as organic as I can find them.


The nomade bear reclines for me as I cannot whilst working my fingers to the bone. The bear says time for nap and I say time for a snack. 


Power up it's 3 p.m. I'll see you on the flipside.


Cheers!

I wanna go home.

May 6 - A week of bentos for my inner child

I'm liking those crackers that Amanda gave me for my birthday. Yeah Amanda!

The little round Blue bento holds Neanderthal Gazpacho made by The Mister. Did I ever blog the recipe? Will check into that. He uses kiwis and it's quite delicious. Found it!

Happy Mother's Day!

May 5 - A week of bentos for my inner child

Okay okay so it looks a little similar to yesterday's bento. No chicken and I've added three milk duds and a couple chunks of double cream gouda. Still got the kim chee and berries and nuts. So let me expand on this morning process (since I almost always make bento in the morning and since I'm almost always in a rush).

I want you to see what I walk out the door with.

Starting in the top left, I put in a coldpac, that's the blue thing, spoon and fork, Yoplait key lime whip (that's in, not out), and the kim chee on the coldpac. Top right, I add the other two little round boxes, and a small container of hummus (yum!), and rye crackers. Bottom, my cowboy lunch box filled with bento!

So friends, is it a bento if it's put in a lunch box?

Hajime's cute cats come on bento boxes now YAY!

This charming little box was sent to me by accident. Originally I had ordered the larger "picnic" style box with five cats on it. I liked the box above, yet I wanted a bigger one to share snacks with the Mister when we drive around this spring to look at the wildflowers.

I ordered this one (below) on Amazon, which redirected me to JVS.

This box cost about ten dollars more than the one I received. Of course, I emailed JVS to let them know of the mistake. And no, they didn't get back to me or refund the 10 dollars. Bummer!

So I guess I'll just live with the error. The little guy kind of grew on me anyways.

Reminds me of another little guy.
