Bento Baby!

After discovering the art of the Bento Box, here, here and here, last Sunday, I attempted to create my own Japanese style lunch in an old takeout container. Clockwise from top, rice pudding, asparagus, aromatic rice with golden raisins, plum

Friday evening a box arrived with an early birthday present from my dear friend K, containing a two-tier bento box with rabbits and a full moon. The decoration is based on this.

Inside the top tier are five small dividing containers.

cantaloupe, strawberry yogurt with banana sun, yellow peppers, cucumbers with chopped peppers, red cabbage

I made two tortilla butterflies for the bottom layer.

Here is a tortilla and cheese duck floating on a chipped ham lake with celery grass and a plum moon! The duck's eye is a dried cranberry.


Thank you K!
