Bento Box Quilt. Pattern by Tracy Brookshier. Make it, it's fun. Cotton Solids and backing is from Field Study Glimmer from Free Spirit.
Bento for an airplane trip; I mixed the curry and rice to get around the security restriction on gels and liquids, and covered the curry portion with Press N Seal.
Tarako spaghetti with red peppers, onions, kaiware (daikon sprouts) and kizami nori (seaweed). On the right are nectarines and cucumbers. Mother and son versions are here.
Incredibly cute onigiri boxes. How to use this type of box (and where to get these particular ones).
Get the recipe for the super tasty peach crisp at the Bento Yum blog. (Don't have to make it with peaches, works well with apples, cherries and berries as well.)
I finished this top a long time ago and I finally got it quilted. I just did a straight line diagonal stitch making an x across each section of the boxes...not very straight in some spots...but I like it!
My preschooler has been barely eating any of his lunch and I've become increasingly frustrated when I open his lunch box in the evening and find piles of food sitting in it undisturbed. He usually will eat some of his leftovers when he gets home, but often there are foods that need to be thrown out because they're no longer safe to eat. The food waste is really getting to me, so yesterday I decided to pack a lunch in only one container of his lunch box. (I forgot to take a picture.) We're going to try the same thing today.

Leftover Cajun creamed spinach got a new look as a spinach egg ball. Artsy bento photo is here -- which type of shot is better to post in the Lunch/Bento forums?
Visiting my dad in Campbell River. For lunch today, we picked up bento boxes and went to watch the eagles on the beach.
Morning prep time: 5 minutes. Full post with silicone baking cup info, lunch details and packing notes is here.
Nuts are good
But predictable.
Mine. All Mine.
All winter long, I find spent shells of oranges flung under the tree. Sometimes I find a half-eaten cup of an orange nested in the crook of the leafless pistache tree - like a lunch waiting to be revisited. Finally caught this boy in the action.
Nearly 20 years after escaping the cold of New England, this is still an amusing sight.
Gave leftover grilled chicken and potatoes a new life as Indian curry. Packed in my Chinese thermal lunch jar and an Anpanman snack container.

Blythe Hanami Party
Hanami is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers. In modern-day Japan, hanami mostly consists of having an outdoor party beneath the cherry blossoms.

Spent Sunday smoking a couple of pork butts on our kludged-together flowerpot smoker, for pulled pork sandwiches. Also found "mango nectarines" -- a new kind of nectarine with a slight taste/texture of mangos (quite good!). All packed in my Nissan Stainless thermal lunch jar to keep the cole slaw fresh and cool.
A magewappa bento box from Odate in Akita prefecture, by the workshop of master craftsman Yoshinobu Shibata. The box is made of Akita sugi wood (often called Japanese cedar). The sides of the box are made of one solid piece of bent wood (=magewappa).
This is about as good as it gets when it comes to bento boxes.
Packed in my small 260ml box, with the curry in a super-small 70ml container to keep it from spilling out onto the grapes/rice.
Chinese steamed bun, orange grape tomatoes, octo-dogs, over-easy fried quail's egg (on its side), and blueberries. And of course, my son rejected the cute quail's egg (but devoured the octodogs as usual)! For my blog.
This is a deconstructed view of just the rice container for this lunch. Morning prep time: 8 minutes each (15 minutes for two lunches). What's unique about this lunch is the way I packed the stew and rice in my thermal lunch jar. When packing hot stew (or curry, etc.) in the bottom of the rice container, if you pack a layer of rice on top of the stew to create a rice "lid": 1) it keeps both rice and stew warm, 2) you're able to enjoy both flavors separately, and 3) it keeps the liquidy stew from leaking if the lunch container is manhandled in transit. This is particularly helpful with my large thermal lunch jars, as the biggest container is for rice, and the seal on the lid is not water-tight. Full details here.
I know, I know, it's an odd combination, but I was clearing out leftovers. Get the recipe for green rice pilaf at Bento Yum.
Today's Bento is leftover chicken sausage sauteed with onions, raw cabbage with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic, raw zucchini, blood orange, dried apricts and almonds. A banana will be along as well.
I just got these at Little Surprises over the weekend!
The top two matching boxes are a new release from Sanrio, a "delightful design featuring Hello Kitty and her pet bear."
