Bento #5 & #6


Pretty simple bentos today; plain rice balls, silverside cubes, and carrot and cucumber 'shapes' with capsicum centres in the top tier. I call them 'shapes' because boyf commented that they kinda looked like bums, but with the limited shape cutters I have here in Oz, 'bums' will have to do. There are two olives holding the rice balls in place, and mustard for the silverside in the little monkey container.
A bright pink devilled egg, strawberries and a nectarine half is in the bottom tier.
[I keep giggling every time I look at the 'bums' now - thanks SJ]


Boyf has pretty much the same, except it's been 'butched up' [well as much as I could whilst still using mini picks and sauce bottles] - see previous post on the consequences of making your boyfs lunch cute.
Anyway, boyf has carrot sticks [manly] capsicum sticks [manly] cucumber rounds [not cut into bums - read: manly] and cheese wedge for said 'manly' vege sticks, and rice balls on the top tier.
A green devilled egg [well, more manly than my pink one...] strawberries and a nectarine half takes up the bottom half.
Learned a little from this bento - the joys of working with dye! Note to self: 1 part dye to 4 parts water is a very strong mix - need to dilute more.
Boyf also had a snack box - if you can call a Tupperware Sandwich Keeper a 'snack box' - containing two silverside sandwiches to keep him going.
